Coming Soon: Rick Stein at Coogee Beach Has Revealed an Opening Date — and Bookings Are Now Live
The beloved British chef will bring his produce-driven seafood to the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach this summer.
It's one of Sydney's most anticipated restaurant openings of the year — and now, bookings are officially open for Rick Stein at Coogee Beach. The new Australian flagship from Rick and Sarah Stein will welcome its first guests on Monday, December 1, bringing the legendary British chef's world-famous seafood to one of the city's most beloved stretches of sand.
Set within the soon-to-open InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, the restaurant marks the beginning of a new coastal chapter for the Steins. Much like their restaurants in Mollymook and Port Stephens, this seaside dining room will celebrate the best of Australia's coastal produce — but this time, the setting is quintessential Sydney luxe.
Leading the kitchen is Head Chef Colin Chun, who brings more than two decades of experience in top hotel kitchens across Australia and Asia, including leadership roles at Hilton Sydney, the Pullman and W Taipei. A longtime admirer of Stein's philosophy of "fresh seafood, simply prepared", Chun brings a refined, produce-driven approach to the table.
While menu details are still under wraps, diners can expect a showcase of local and seasonal seafood from New South Wales and beyond, paired with coastal-inspired cocktails and a wine list made for long lunches and sunset sessions. The 224-seat space comprises a main dining room, courtyard terrace and relaxed bar, designed to reflect Coogee's breezy mix of sophistication and surfside charm.
"Sydney's Coogee Beach is the perfect location for our flagship Australian restaurant," says Stein. "It's relaxed yet sophisticated, with that incredible connection to the ocean that has always inspired my cooking. For us, this feels like coming home."
Rick Stein at Coogee Beach opens on Monday, December 1, at InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach. For more details and to make a reservation, head to the venue's website.
