Set in the heart of Balgowlah, this eatery serves fresh seafood dishes. From oysters and grilled half-shell scallops to snapper and prawn pie and tuna crudo, Fish Face has got your seafood cravings covered.
Fish Face was owners Shahid Rahman and Anna Walker’s answer to the locals’ desire to have a restaurant in the area that is dedicated to fresh seafood dishes. And thanks to head chef Adam Rust, formerly of Harbord Hotel and 12-Micron, Fish Face is able to deliver the kind of seafood-centred menu that captures the fresh ocean flavours inside its equally fresh venue.
Lunch and Dinner offerings that the family can enjoy include freshly shucked oysters with lemon or Kilpatrick and Worcestershire sauce and bacon bits. Their prawn hot pot with mild chilli, garlic and lemon butter served with sourdough baguette is also a definite must try along with grilled half-shell scallops with parsley and lemon butter; and kingfish sashimi made with jalapeno, cucumber and lemon infused olive oil.
Still, you can go for larger plate favourites which include Asian-style fish curry served with jasmine rice; roasted Moreton Bay bugs with chipotle butter, jasmine rice, lime and coriander; and snapper and prawn pie made with snapper fillet and tiger prawns with potato, cream and dill.
For the little ones, there’s a special menu too which includes fish (grilled or fried) and chips, crispy fried chicken tenders with chips, and mini hotdogs with chips – all served with tomato ketchup. And there’s angel hair pasta with tomato to go along with these scrumptious eats.
Need something sweet to balance all that goodness? Options include banoffee cheesecake, cookies and cream sundae with crushed Oreo cookies, and churros.
The drinks menu, meanwhile, consists of a list of non-alcoholic drinks, cocktails, beer and cider, wine by the glass, wine by the bottle, and spirits.
BYO is only accepted for Lunch and Dinner every Monday, except Public Holidays. A $7.50 corkage per person applies.
“Great service, food was delicious, my favourite dishes would be Tuna Crudo, Clarence River Octopus, Crab & Prawn Pasta, grilled fish, and Banofee Cheesecake for dessert 😋. If you’re a fan of seafood, don’t miss out this place. Especially, they have gluten-free fish & chips and many other options if you’ve having dietary requirements. Highly recommended 👍” – J. Tran
“Such a great first experience at Fish Face! Lachie the Manager was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable on the menu and wine list. Food exquisite – kudos to head chef Adam and kitchen team. Wait staff efficient and lovely. We had a big group so were able to try lots on the menu. Everything was delicious with special mention to the prawn pasta and fish pie. We will be back :)” – G. Bennett
“We had dinner for two which was very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Service and food were both exceptional. I had the prawn and crab pasta which was delicious and more than I could eat. My partner had the prawn and snapper pie which was very nice but he would have liked it to be bigger. Churros and strawberry tart for dessert were both yummy. Definitely plan to go back soon.” – S.
