Rick and Sarah Stein’s new Australian flagship restaurant will open in November 2025 within the recently announced InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach – a collaboration between the couple and Australian partners Salter Brothers.The new 224-seat offering will include a signature restaurant, bar dining and courtyard terrace delivering the celebrated British chef’s “fresh seafood, simply prepared” concept.It will be the third Australian restaurant for the Steins, joining their Mollymook and Port Stephens locations which opened in 2009 and 2018 respectively.“Coogee Beach is yet another stunning coastal location for our Australian restaurant portfolio – perched by the sea and full of the laid-back charm we’ve come to love so much here. It’s especially meaningful for me as my wife Sas grew up in Sydney, so opening a restaurant in her hometown makes this venture all the more special for us both,” Stein said.

“There’s an abundance of top-quality seafood in Australia and we’ll be championing local, seasonal produce with the benefit of accessing the biggest fish market in the southern hemisphere. We’ll continue to utilise the relationships we’ve built in our regional locations to source that same produce in Sydney. It’s the best of both worlds.”The menu will feature an abundance of seafood including Mahi Mahi caught off the coast of Nelson Bay, Stockton Pipis from Port Stephens, line-caught Mackerel from Ulladulla and Nelson Bay Blue Swimmer Crab for Stein’s signature Singapore Chilli Crab. The venue will also offer Rick’s famous fish and chips, prepared in the traditional British style complete with mushy peas and hand-cut chips.Salter Brothers acquired Bannisters, home to the other two Stein restaurants, in 2024. It announced a tie-up with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) last week that would see the creation of the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach as well as the launch of a number of other hotels.“We are very excited to be bringing Rick Stein to Coogee Beach and build on our existing partnership,” Managing Director of Salter Brothers Paul Salter said. “I can’t think of a better location in Sydney to showcase his distinctive, yet approachable, fresh seafood experience”.
