A vibrant Mediterranean taverna inspired by the Bosphorus and Aegean coast, Hamsi Taverna brings together fresh seafood, charcoal-grilled meats and lively share plates in a setting that shifts effortlessly from day to night. Located in Sydney Fish Market, the dishes lean into bold, sun-soaked flavours, from crispy Black Sea anchovies and kingfish lakerda to charcoal lobster, grilled swordfish and spanner crab pasta. By day, it’s bright and relaxed; by evening, candlelight and music take over, creating a warm, intimate energy that lingers long after the last plate.
