About Flying Fish

Perched over the Pyrmont waterfront, Flying Fish turns fresh Australian coastal catch into pure harbour dining magic. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight across to Barangaroo and Crown Tower—setting an easy rhythm whether you are dressing up for an anniversary or settling in for a quick bite before curtain call at the Lyric Theatre. Regulars lean into the crisp prawn toast crowned with sesame, followed by flaky Daintree barramundi or blue swimmer crab fettuccine in a creamy tomato sauce. Service moves with genuine warmth, even surprising milestone tables with an unprompted celebratory cake and candle.

  • Waterfront Harbour Views: Floor-to-ceiling glass frames direct water views across to Barangaroo and Crown Tower.
  • Pre-Theatre Set Dining: Paced for Lyric Theatre curtain calls with generous courses like prawn toast and fresh fish.
  • Celebratory Touches: Milestone celebrations often receive unprompted celebratory dessert plates with a lit candle.

    this version was a crisp, golden jewel—ethereally light yet decadently rich. The prawns, impossibly fresh, were delicately seasoned and crowned with micro herbs
