Jounieh is a contemporary approach to the Middle Eastern culinary tradition.
Perfectly positioned on the Walsh Bay harbour foreshore, this waterside venue takes you on a journey through the distinctive flavours and tastes of its famed namesake – the coastal town of Jounieh in Lebanon.

From the pickles and spices of the bustling ‘Souk’, the grandeur of its luxurious oceanfront resorts, bustling nightlife and numerous promenade eateries, Jounieh is an all-encompassing slice of Lebanese culture.

So grab another round of dips and pile up the pita; time moves slowly when you’re eating this well.

Perfectly presented authentic traditional Lebanese food, arak & coffee, with some enhancing modern twists. Staff are friendly & competent, even guessing which dessert we would like. Lovely peaceful setting at Walsh Bay. So easy to lose track of time & run the risk of being late for a performance (several theatres nearby). Would have preferred that the background music be traditional & that the table light not be an electric imitation candle. Have been several times & will be returning. Thank you, Tony!

A beautiful location on the water at The Rock. The food & wine were second to none. Highly recommend. I’ve not had such beautiful food probably ever. The wine prices are reasonable for a restaurant of this standard. When I next visit Sydney I will definitely be back. ❤️

I had my work Christmas dinner there and was that impressed with the food, service and location that I decided to take my wife there to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. When I booked I asked them if they would allocate a nice table with a view to celebrate the special occasion which they did, the food was on point, we had the dips, calamari, cauliflower and the lamb, all were fresh, cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back again, and take our friends and family to enjoy this gem of a restaurant. Keep up the amazing food and service.

We picked this restaurant as we wanted to taste this place. The food was amazing. The 10hour slow cooked lamb leg was to melt in your mouth. The side dishes are just amazing as well. Great view out to the water and the staff are amazing. Do not hesitate to eat here you will regret it.
