Saint Peter is an award-winning seafood restaurant located in Paddington, Sydney, at 161 Underwood Street inside The Grand National Hotel. Led by acclaimed chef Josh Niland, the restaurant is known for its creative, sustainable approach to seafood and has earned a strong reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting dining destinations. Saint Peter focuses on celebrating Australian fish and seafood in new and innovative ways. The kitchen uses the highest-quality seafood available and prepares it with techniques such as dry-aging and whole-fish cooking, where every part of the fish is used thoughtfully.

This approach brings out deep, natural flavours and shows guests how versatile seafood can be. The menu changes daily and seasonally, depending on what the fishermen and producers supply. For lunch, Saint Peter offers a three-course set menu, while dinner features a nine-course tasting menu that highlights the restaurant’s most creative dishes. For an even more immersive experience, diners can book the Chef’s Table, which includes an expanded eleven-course menu served in an intimate part of the restaurant. Saint Peter is widely praised for its beautifully crafted seafood dishes, attention to detail, and refined flavour combinations. Guests often describe the dining experience as a journey, where each course introduces new tastes, techniques, or ingredients. Presentation is also a key part of the experience, with dishes designed to be both elegant and visually striking. Next to the main dining room is the Saint Peter Bar, a relaxed and stylish space where visitors can enjoy a drink or small bite either before dinner or as a separate visit.

The bar menu includes cocktails, wines, beers, spirits, and light snacks, making it a great spot for casual catch-ups or a pre-meal drink. Saint Peter also provides private dining options for groups. Smaller gatherings can book the private dining room, while larger events can be hosted in the main dining room or the full venue. The team works closely with guests to create tailored menus and experiences for celebrations, corporate dinners, and other special occasions. Guests appreciate not only the innovative seafood but also the restaurant’s warm, professional service and elegant atmosphere. The open kitchen allows diners to see the chefs at work, adding an extra element of excitement and connection to the experience.
