Saint Peter’s mission at is to showcase Australian sustainably sourced seafood, prepare it expertly and serve it simply.
At St.Peter's the chef's work closely with fishermen around Australia to source only the best seafood. All the fish is purchased whole and processed in the custom designed Fish Butchery just down the road from the restaurant.
Some species of fish are dry aged in their custom designed cool rooms, allowing them to intensify and clarify the flavour of certain species as well as achieve maximum skin crispness.
St.Peter's sustainable approach and appreciation of Australian fish is displayed by their use of the whole fish, including offal where appropriate.
Their attention to detail in all things fish, flows down into everything they do; from the vegetable preparations, to exquisite tarts for dessert and the Australian wine list.
The menu’s more casual style for lunch and a la carte for dinner remains aligned with Saint Peter’s original mission to showcase exceptional quality, sustainably sourced fish and seafood.
Think charcoal-grilled rock flathead with a bush tomato harissa, or Murray cod that’s been dry-aged for 14 days and served with a salt-and-vinegar-seasoned head.
And on the menu, they will be listed alongside the region they came from and the name of the person who reeled it in. The wine list emphasises Australian makers, and cocktails use locally made gins and whiskies.
There's a bar area to sit at, if you're just looking to stop by for a drink and a snack. This inventive seafood restaurant has emerged from lock down with a new look, new vibe and new menu.
It now has a 12-metre Carrara-marble-topped bar running down the middle, with the kitchen on one side of the bench and diners on the other.
The switch gives seafood maven Josh Niland and his crew more cooking space, and lets them transform the experience into a quasi-masterclass, offering ringside seats to these masters pin-boning fillets and taking perfectly aged fish skin and grilling it into pork-like crackling.
Importantly, it means they can continue the journey of sharing their pioneering fin-to-scale philosophy. Video Credit: CNA Image Credit: Saint Peter's Facebook Page
