Grilled platter for 2
Justie L.

Yum! On our visit, we happened to be staying the next block over from the Sydney Fish Market--a blessing and a curse. We found ourselves over here for meals on four separate occasions on our six day stay! With their site saying that they opened at 7, we eagerly sprung out of our beds early in the morning and skeedaddled on over to the fish market. We found however, that although most places listed that they opened at 7, they didn't really have their full offerings available until closer to 8; this was certainly true of the Fish Market Cafe. No worries though, it's easy to kill some time by taking a quick lap around to see the fresh catches of the day. We found ourselves back at the FMC a number of times due in part to their sheer number of items. Dishes we had here included the grilled seafood platter, oysters, fish and chips, and some sushi/sashimi bar items. The grilled seafood platter (for two) would've easily been enough to feed our party of four on its own. With a mound of seafood on top of a mound of chips (read: fries), the standouts for me were the HUGE barramundi filet, the in-shell scallops, and the fries--seriously, the fries were excellent and delightfully potatoey while still maintaining their crispness. My mom really liked the little grilled octopus and the sweet chili shrimp. The separate order of fish and chips was fine. Again, the chips were excellent. The fish was pretty good and definitely fresh, but they were a bit heavy handed with the batter for my own personal liking. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, and I absolutely loved the scallop and salmon sushi. However, their super big sushi rolls were only okay. They were seemingly more gimmicky than anything else with tons of rice, and the krab was kind of a bummer when there was obviously so much fresh crab readily available. One thing that I loved about FMC was their variety of dipping sauces. I am a dipping sauce fiend, there's no denying it. They had eight different options, but I only tried three of them because unfortunately, none are included with your order and you have to purchase each separately. After dropping a solid amount of money just for the plates themselves, I wasn't feelin' Mr. Moneybags on dipping sauces. Their tartar sauce was perfectly fine, but by no means amazing. The peri peri sauce was good, but I think my favorite was the sweet chili. It had a great amount of kick to it. Pricing is a bit on the high side, but that's to be expected I suppose from the fish market where everything is presumably super fresh. It's definitely worth a try, but I personally think that some of the other places in the market are probably more worth it if you're in search of super fresh seafood. It's a tiny bit less appetizing when you see everything pre-prepared and sitting under warmers. Make sure you have cash! They don't accept card. There is an ATM right by the register, but this place gets poppin' and you don't wanna be *THAT GUY* that slows down the whole operation.

Huge!

Very exciting to visit the fish market at lunch time with all the people and hustle and bustle. The Fish Market Cafe was one of the busier restaurants in the market (all though everywhere was pretty much busy). You order your food over the counter and they give you a number. When your number gets called you collect your food then pay for it. We had the lobster meal for 2 people at $70+. We had half a lobster, baby octopus, calamari, shrimp, substitutes oysters for scallops with chips. The box was filled with chips with the seafood on top. Everything was fresh and it was good. Felt that it was loaded too much with chips to make the meal look more filled up with seafood. Great experience!

This was an impromptu visit at Sydney's Fish Market. We had a great time at the world's largest fish market when we were in Japan so we thought we'd pay a visit when we found out that Sydney also has a large fish market. And boy, were we glad that we went! Australia was known for their seafood and in here, you got a large variety of seafood, delis, wines and baked goods to choose from. We ended up feasting at Fish market cafe and it was one of the best meals we had in Sydney. Try the sushi donut here. It was delicious and absolutely Instagram worthy! The scallop sushi is also very tasty. Basically everything is already prepped and ready to go. Love this place!

Our drinks were out in 3-5 minutes and our food was out within about 5-7 minutes after. As soon as we finished we were given our checks to pay at the front. I think we were here for only 45 minutes and it was amazing! I started out with the iced strawberry matcha and my husband had their iced mocha. The iced mocha was good but the iced strawberry matcha was flawless. The strawberries were so fresh and the matcha was just perfect itself. Great combo together! My husband had the free range eggs on toast and I had the eggs Benedict. His was delicious but the eggs Benedict was amazing. The crispy kale really sold me as it was delectable in each bite. Eggs were poached to perfection and the truffle hollandaise was just delicious. Couldn't have had a better experience if we tried!

For a larger party, coming in with a reservation was convenient since they are pretty busy and change tables often. Service staff were efficient and very friendly. Ordering was easy as well. Their seasonal specials is definitely worth the look over. I had the peanut butter shake and although it didn't look it, it tasted very much like peanut butter in liquid form. I also got to try the summer breeze watermelon salad. That was refreshing. It had a mix of greens, dressing, feta and a crisp prosciutto. I've never had prosciutto served fried; it was delicious. The whole piece married well, and I wish I knew the background of how it was created. I loved every bite! Although the place was crowded, it can still be intimate. Besides indoor seating, they also have a patio and seating outside.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

Located next to Victoria Park and near Uni Row, I was surprised to have found this gem that the locals get to enjoy everyday. Walking in, a barista takes your order for takeaway and has you standing behind them as they make your order. There is plenty of seating inside, but those are reserved for those dining in. They have their roastery in the back, with large windows separating from the cafe. We had visited twice here and each time was a great experience. I had the opportunity to try both their Ethiopian and their Guatemalan long blacks, and the tasting notes do stand out. They have a variety of coffee beans you can purchase, along with a more limited selection of teas. Toby's Estate is a must try for all coffee aficionados in the area.

I'm not a coffee snob, so maybe I'm way off. One thing I did love was how their baristas are around the counter rather than behind it, so you can chat and watch as they make your drink! The jury is still out on when the coffee world will standardize a flat white, according to my barista

You can add more to it such as heirloom cherry tomatoes, avocados, greens; garlic roasted field mushrooms, pork sausage, eggs or smoked ocean trout. I opted for scrambled eggs and it was a breakfast for champions NGL. Soooo good! Paired with the orange blossom matcha milk, I'm in heaven! I'm not really a citrusy kinda girl but that combo was divine. I needed more caffeine though for my long day ahead so I got a large mocha-- just the buzz I needed. The vibe is very aesthetic, industrial chic with high ceilings. Love the tables as well as the pitchers that look like Aesop bottles haha. I was really torn between the shokupan yuzu French toast and stracciatella, chilli and hazelnut toast but I'm glad I went with savory. Absolutely what I needed for today's adventures. Service was amazing. I was seated immediately but I came 15 mins after they opened so that's probably why. I'm so happy I added PCP to my Sydney itinerary.

Plus, I'm never one to turn down the possibility of a donut and coffee. Shortstop specializes in cake donuts rather than yeast, which allows for more creative flavors. I have always preferred more specialty donut flavors than traditional ones. My favorites in years past have been matcha green tea, earl grey, rose, lavender, etc. So imagine my elation when we stepped inside Shortstop and saw all these phenomenal flavors aligned with my preferences! I, of course, insisted on ordering the triple matcha, while my husband opted for their earl grey and rose. We also ordered coffees, a filtered coffee for my husband a latte for me. Their coffee is sourced from local roasters. The triple matcha had a matcha cake base and was topped with white chocolate, matcha glaze, and matcha icing. I'm never one to say "too much matcha," so this was perfect for me! I had a bite of my husband's earl grey and rose donut, which was a lovely balance of earl grey, lemon myrtle, rosewater, and rose. Highly recommend if you're in Melbourne craving some sweets. We're so glad we stopped in!
