Newcastle is NSW's second city and one of Australia's great urban success stories — a former coal and steel hub that has reinvented itself as a vibrant, creative, surf-conscious city with a strong food and wine culture. The city centre, from the revitalised Honeysuckle precinct along the harbour to the beaches at Newcastle East and Nobbys, reflects a community that takes lifestyle seriously. The restaurant scene is genuine and diverse, and Newcastle residents expect quality in what they eat.

What Customers Around Newcastle Say

Verified reviews

Amazing creamy oysters

These oysters were amazing. Plump, creamy and so fresh. Will definitely buy again.

Comment

I recently purchased 4 trays of shucked Pacific Oysters. The oysters were wonderful but one tray was unshucked. A waste of a tray of oysters.

A bit expensive

Was looking to buy 2 kgs of prawns but could not locate single kgs so I bought 3 at a price I thought was a bit heavy. Anyway the prawns were good

A good rule of thumb: 200-250g of raw seafood per person for a main course, or 100-150g per person for a shared platter. For a dinner party of 6, that is roughly 1.2-1.5kg of seafood.
