Não foi das melhores experiências. Comida casual mas com toques algo muito básico. Visitamos num dia da Páscoa. Um almoço em família. No entanto merece uma visita
Does My Bomb Look Big In This

Sea urchin roe is a definite favourite; just like an oyster, eating it lets you have an intimate encounter with the sea. At home we eat our urchin roe on hot buttered sourdough, so we had no problems easing our Pambula Sea Urchin ($28) out of its spiky shell, and smearing it onto a decadent buttery crumpet during our brunch at Saint Peter. Throw in a savoury daytime drinker – the 2014 Tripe Iscariot ‘Aspic’ Rosé ($75) – and I was as close to content as you can get in the current political climate.The talented Josh Niland takes scrambled eggs to the next level by teaming them with a whole Donnybrook Marron ($44). It’s visually spectacular, and the tender, sweet crustacean eats beautifully against just-set eggs. While it’s hard to resist comparing the ever-changing roster of oysters, it’s the breakfast-styled dishes like this one that I’m most enamoured with on this clever brunch menu.However for the oyster aficionados, despite being tiny, the Moonlight Kiss Oysters ($4.50/each) scrubbed up best against Wonboyn Rock Oysters ($5/each) and four year old Tathra Rock Oysters ($5.50) on this particular occasion.Making Smoked Silver Lake Eel ($18) into something akin to a brandade is a clever twist, allowing you to liberally coat pikelets then dress them with your preferred condiment(s). Capers, shallots, lemon, herbs – they work well in tandem – my only complaint is the generosity of the eel brandade made me want for a few more golden pikelets to play with. We contented ourselves with ordering Barley-Rye Sourdough and Cultured Butter ($3) and smearing our remainders onto that. While this is a pricy place to brunch, you need to weigh that up against the impeccable, sustainable seafood you’re consuming. You can also fill out any corners with sides like Fried Cauliflower ($14) turned seaward with cuttlefish ink and shallot, or Niland’s epic King Edward Potato Scallop ($2). It’s the best darn potato scallop you’ll ever eat, and it’s only two bucks.NOTE: You can find a review of Saint Peter's dinner menu HERE.Saint Peter362 Oxford Street, PaddingtonPh: (02) 8937 2530
Saint Peter is a reputable seafood restaurant in Paddington. The restaurant has a very deep but narrow of roughly 3 metres storefront which creates a very intimate space; only accommodating 34 people. They serve brunch on weekends, and we went there on a Saturday. As the head chef, Josh Niland, changes the menu on a regular basis, we had the shrimp toast, charcoal grilled flounder, and passion fruit tart that day. The food is on the pricey range, but the thoughtfulness and execution behind each dish is totally worth every penny. Not only are they specialized in seafood dishes, they also make great desserts.
St Peter's chef made incredibly 'airy' gluten and egg-free crackers to meet my dietary requirements so I could have the cheese platter, which I appreciated. The food is amazing, unusual and high quality. We had a 6 pm booking and therefore should have been out by 8 pm. We were still finishing our meal at 8.30. I think the 2 hours is too little time for a meal like this.
I’ll put it out there... you’d be mad to miss out on this one. 17 day aged hapuka was sublime, the sea urchin crumpet Was divine and the service was seamless as a wine glass. It was tops. Get there
The 1st rank restaurant in my favorite list: Saint Peter
I couldn’t even describe how delicious those dishes are in words. It was a breeze in summer with full of tastes. TOTALLY RECOMMEND for anyone as long as you love seafood like i do!
Lemon tart did a great job in giving a nice touch of sourness. Nice way to end the dinner ♥️
Talk about wines. We chose Ministry of Clouds Chardonnay to complement our dinner. And it was a great choice! 🥂

I would say I am a self-proclaimed foodie hence why I ve been doing my instagram account for 7 years haha and through that time, I have made many friends and there are some friends who always have the best recommendations! Lorraine is one of them and when she said she got us a table at Saint Peter, I squealed because it is so unique and delicious. So for Sydney siders, you may know Saint Peter to be the restaurant of fish butchery and as the name suggestions, specialised in seafood and fish in particular!
We started our lunch with an array of non-alcoholic drinks, virgin apple cider, blueberry and fennel soda, lemon and mint soda. Followed by started a snapper sausage and egg English muffin and fish butchery ham, terrine and pâté. Everything was made from FISH!!! Yes fish! So think swordfish ham, dory liver pate and snapper sausage to name a few!
We then had a puftaloons with sea urchin taramasalata, which was the absolutely BOMB! I often call this the “pink” dip haha but this was next level! Hint save the rest for chips haha
Next up our main was the 800g Bermagui Mirror dory, cafe de Paris butter and chips! The fish was absolutely Devine and with the Paris butter what a great combo.
Let’s finish up with dessert, lemon and passionfruit tart, which had the most perfect custard texture and a thin crust. Followed by chocolate and Murray cod fat caramel slice. Who knew fish fat could be used for dessert hehe
Overall, I don’t remember the last time I had a full meal of fish. It was a truely unique and interesting experience which I would recommend to anyone who wants to try something different and not the usual bacon and eggs for lunch hehe
Eight of us dined for lunch and each left very disappointed.
Reviews led us to expect a great experience.
Natural oysters were really great but cooked dishes were not impressive!! Main dishes were way under cooked (raw and cold) and side dish of brussel sprouts burnt.
At $100 per head we expected to be well fed but mains were pretty ordinary.
Would not return nor recommend.
Been following this place for a while and was just so intrigued by their ageing process and the fish offal . All in all was an amazing meal . The 20 day aged broadbill was unlike any fish I’ve tasted before . Cook it as meat !
Excellent seafood selection and amazingly fresh! Perfect for pescatarians. Only minor downside is the ambience (front open to busy Oxford st).
Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The food is simply sensational. Each dish was unique in its own way and left you exploring combinations of tastes and textures that you will be dreaming about. Decent size cocktails list and we went through about most of them. All the cocktails were deliciously smooth. Service was attentive and the staff definitely knows what they are doing. 10/10 experience for me. Highly recommend.
Came here for lunch. Staffs were very friendly. Really like the fact that there are only bar seatings, you can see the chefs in action.
Ordered a number of small plates to share. Skipped the mains and the sides. Didn’t have to wait long for our food. Every single dish was delicious except the tuna, especially love the sardine, raw snapper and uni crumpet. With the tuna, felt like it disappeared in the dish, didn’t taste like tuna.
Would come back to try other food on the menu.
Had a pleasant experience dining here, the liver pâté was something that just melted in your mouth 😍.
Nevertheless, we had our doubts about the crab soup…it was too overpowering and was a spice-overload (turmeric? curry powder?), definitely needed something else to tone it down.
The staff were super friendly and helpful.
If you’re looking for fine dining, Saint Peter is it. The regular menu changes mean you’re never quite sure what you’ll get on any particular evening, which adds to the surprise.
Food is superb but certainly not cheap. The final bill also has a 10% service charge added.
Great to celebrate a special occasion, but due to the long bench seating, it’s best suited for a party of no more than 2.
What an exceptional place. The food was top quality and all things delicately considered, from the biggest (charcoal flat head) to the smallest (amazing biquinho peppers). Service was really lovely, and despite being close to others the spacing was just spread enough apart for conversations. Loved the experience
A testimony to what can be achieved in a small space when you let food and service do the talking.
Brilliant menu that's priced accordingly and staff who know their stuff without being as stuff as a board.
Bonus points for cotton hand towels in the bathroom.

Spectacular meal. Everything was very cleverly put together.
We started off strong with a glass of fizz and some perfectly shucked oysters. The mignonette was a lovely bright accompaniment, not that oysters this fresh really need it.
The server then helped us narrowly avoid "disaster" by confirming we had picked an appropriate wine (we had not), a much appreciated attention.
Next came the salt & vinegar whiting, a very lightly cured fish in a mild olive brine. The fish retained a good amount of body and the flavours were delicate but very interesting.
My personal favourite, the smoked tuna belly salad. The tuna had an amazing smoked flavour, quite like bacon, which contrasted nicely with the touch of sweetness in the dressing.
The coral trout was perfectly cooked, crisp skin on top and beautiful flaky fish underneath. I really liked the braised endives, funnily they were just like South-East Asian water spinach but with entirely European ingredients.
The cheese selection was pretty epic, a very clever curation.
The space is tricky. It's small, and they've done the best they could with that, but it means that all the seating is at the bar. Not bad for couples but terrible for groups. I sat in the middle of 3 and felt like a phone relay passing conversation back and forth.
That being said, the restaurant is bright and airy, and the music was great. The waitstaff clearly know what they're doing, well informed on the dishes and wines, and friendly. The prices were also less painful than anticipated, though it wasn't cheap by any means.
