I actually think Saint Peter can work if your parents are open-minded. My mum was nervous because she thought it would be too fancy, but the staff explained everything nicely and she still talks about it. Just don't frame it as 'fish and chips'. Frame it as a special Sydney seafood dinner.
My parents are visiting Sydney and love seafood. Would you take them to Saint Peter or somewhere more casual?
They are not super fancy people, but they do love good seafood. I keep hearing about Saint Peter, but I’m wondering if it is the right place for visiting parents or if there is a better Sydney seafood option.
People compare Saint Peter with more relaxed Sydney seafood options for visiting family.
Answers & Discussion
If they love seafood but are not fancy, I would save Saint Peter for another time and choose a more relaxed seafood spot with a view. Parents visiting Sydney usually remember the harbour, the walk, and the atmosphere more than the most creative dish. Saint Peter is amazing, but it is more of a food-lover destination than a simple family meal.
Saint Peter is excellent, but I would only take parents there if they enjoy the experience of a serious restaurant. It is not really a casual fish-and-chips kind of night. I took my uncle there and he loved the food, but he also kept asking why the portions were so precise. For relaxed family visitors, I would do something easier near the water first.
