Scotties is a Must-visit for Newcastle locals and tourists alike.
The menu features an eclectic mix of inspired seafood dishes from their kingfish sashimi to their Morton bay pluto pups! All incredibly different and all delicious.
Nestled in a beautifully converted terrace, the restaurant is about a 3 minute walk from the beach with a cosy outdoor seating area well away from the chaos of the main CBD.
The staff are friendly, attentive and happy to have a little chat if the opportunity presents.
We had a wonderful lunch here sampling their Lobster Club sandwich, Tuna Ceviche and a fish kebab. The ceviche was an absolute hit with its bold yet balanced textures and flavours.
Our lunch came in at about $120 including drinks so I wouldn’t call this an everyday experience for the average lunch. In our opinion it was well worth the price.
We’ll be back soon to try the rest of the menu!
We stumbled on this by accident and let’s say we did not regret it. We have eaten there twice in two days (not local) and this unassuming little gem is punching way above its weight. Prawn pancake, fish wrap, salt and vinegar mussels, crispy skin trout (skin was amazing) all deserved more than 5 stars but the lobster special was to die for. Staff are brilliant and don’t even get me started on the head chef that deserves a raise. He came to the table to check on us, entertained, ran meals and served food that was fresh, beyond tasty full of flavour and left you wanting more even if you couldn’t fit it in. Also try the margarita…
Nice fish however the batter was very thick. It made it less enjoyable to eat the fish. Definitely Sydney prices but not quite up to the price.
The outdoor area is lovely with lots of seats to eat takeaway.
