25.01.2022 WINTER PUDDINGS Chocolate Cookie Pie & Apple & Blueberry Crumble, both served with vanilla ice cream. You can share these desserts between two people but whether you want to, I don't know.

25.01.2022 ATMOSPHERE IS EVERYTHING . Our dining room's seat less people now but I believe this is leading to a great change in the Sydney dining scene. Previously, when we could seat more people at once we would get a single hit and the restaurant would empty out as quickly as it filled up. Now we are seeing three, sometimes four dining slots. The early birds at 5:30pm, the 6:30pm masses, the 7:30pm classics, and occasionaly the 8:30pm wild ones on a late one (haha). The atmosphere in ...our stores is much nicer with this longer service and long may it continue. . Bookings are essential to help manage and juggle this new trend. We also look forward to utilising our outdoor spaces again as the weather warms up. . Book Now Zetland https://salmonandbear.com.au/zetland-seafood-restaurant .

24.01.2022 One month down, many more to come. We reopened our doors to dine in customers at both our Zetland & Crows Nest store one month ago. Thank you to all of you who heard our call to action, and physically came out to dine with us. Some of you, we are happy to say, we have seen on a weekly basis. This is exactly what we and your other favourite restaurants need to come through the other side of this pandemic. ... We are so happy to see you enjoying our new menu too, the addition of the charcoal grilled steaks has been a popular move and its great to see you guys tucking into our winter warming fish pie and Sicilian fish stew. We look forward to welcoming more of you as restrictions ease further in the coming month. Thank you Joe & Joel

23.01.2022 CHRISTMAS PARTIES - Obviously this is the strangest year on record but with life returning to some sort of normality you may be looking to plan a very merry yet covid safe Christmas party.

23.01.2022 A HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY TRAIN SMASH IS COMING OUR WAY . I have spoken before about how difficult the restaurant business was before COVID-19. With low profit margins the industry was broken and supported by passionate owners driven by a love for the game rather than the riches on offer. . When I look around I see more and more restaurants closing with FOR LEASE signs dotted along every high street. The real worry is this is just the beginning. When the goverment hand outs st...op or are reduced in a months time, more and more hospitality businesses will go under. Everybody is at risk, even your favourite restaurants and cafes that have been around for a long, long time, could crack under the strain . There is a lot of talk in the industry on podcasts, news articles and the like that talk about the necessary reset/change the industry needs but I wonder if the you, the restaurant consumer is listening or is even in a position themselves to hear the changes that need to happen . All I can ask / hope for is the dawn of the concious restaurant consumer. What I mean by this is that you the consumer have the power to choose the restaurants you want to keep through your direct actions. If you are in a position to dine out choose wisely and dine as often as you can at the places you love. Limit the number of places you go to but spend as much money as you can with them. Do it again and again, don't constantly chase the next new opening! . This might not be Salmon & Bear for all of you but I hope it is for some of you. Dont be that person who says in a years time "oh I used to love that place but I cant remember the last time I went, such a shame they closed" . Joel & I will continue to fight and strive to make Salmon & Bear the best it can be everyday . #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #conciousconsumer #conciousdining #industryreset See more

23.01.2022 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - Much of our menu is gluten free. Its a question we often get asked. We have worked hard to make sure all the items on our menu that can be gluten free are. Check out the menu on our website for details or ask any of our staff in store and they will point you in the right direction. https://salmonandbear.com.au/menu

23.01.2022 WHAT IS VALUE? I wanted to share with you how Joel and I went about creating our new menu post COVID lockdown. Upon realising the financial strain the pandemic would place upon most Sydney households we decided to change our menu. We didnt make wholesale changes as we believe one of our strengths is the broad range of dining options we offer. Whether it be a cheeky round of fish tacos or a slap up fish/steak supper we do believe there is something to suit everybody and every... dining occasion. We wanted to give back to our diners and offer more value in a traditional portion size sense so we decided on 3 things: 1. No dish on our menu is over $30 with the majority under $25. 2. All side dish portion sizes were increased, as were the poke bowls. 3. We added three great value, one plate, complete meals. Our Fish Pie, Fish Curry and Fish Stew for $25.95 or less. . A few things to note: *We work on a standard 30% cost of goods model when working out pricing and hopefully this leaves us with 5-10% profit after paying all other costs involved in running our restaurant *Fish is an expensive protein to start with as you will see in the supermarket and the prices can change at short notice *We aren't trying to rip anybody off, just make a living I really hope that the dining experience at Salmon & Bear isn't judged by or limited to the amount of food on the plate as it is much, much more than that. Book a table with us and you can expect a warm welcome from Joel, great service from Lyall and Aaran, a hearty fish supper cooked by Liam and Tarek with pride and if I'm in charge of the music, some great tunes playing in the background!

22.01.2022 The warmer weather means a return to al fresco dining. With reduced internal seating capacity due to COVID we want to make the most of our out door terraces at both restaurants this year. We usually keep our outdoor seating for walk in customers, but feel free to request an outdoor table when booking, so if its a nice balmy evening why not join us at The Bear? ... #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #alfrescodining

21.01.2022 You guys are loving the meat grilled over coal in the Mibrasa oven. Why didn't we think of this sooner? Too bloody stubborn for our own good! Book now - Zetland & Crows Nest https://salmonandbear.com.au/

21.01.2022 In my 20 years in this business and in the age of Trip Advisor and the Google Review this feedback from a new customer, Ian was both refreshing and heartwarming in equal measure. Lyall is the waitress that this praise refers to but she was ably supported by chefs Liam & Bibek on the night. Guys take a bow! To quote Lyall "Who needs tips when you get feedback like this" Thank you to our brilliant team who make our Crows Nest store a great addition to the neighbourhood. ... Here is the text in full: Praise! 4/10/20 To the owner of Salmon & Bear I love good customer service and when our booking was taken last Wednesday for 3 people at 6:30pm, over the phone, by a very cheery person who rang back after getting our message, I had a good feeling about the place. The same waitress did an excellent "meet and greet" when we arrived and I observed how well she coped as the restaurant filled up - singled handed! "Friendly and efficient" is how I would sum up her performance. It was our first visit and she explained all the dish choices very well. We were very impressed with our entrees and main courses. (1 x Fish Pie, 1 x Steak 1 x Fish Stew) and will return. Please congratulate the hard working waitress on our behalf. Best wishes Ian #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #Lyallisarockstar

21.01.2022 A BIT ON THE SIDE... Chef was grumpy this week Since we launched our new menu all Mibrasa Oven plates now come with a side included. You can add french fries, basmati rice, baby cos salad or sweet potato wedges to your grilled fish/meat along with a sauce. ... "Nobody is ordering the other sides", he said. You gotta eat your veges people! We have some great additional side dishes which are great to share between two people as and extra treat on the side. *Crispy Brussel Sprouts with salt & pepper seasoning *Steamed Green Beans with lemon butter and toasted breadcrumbs *Roasted Carrots with miso butter *Asian Greens with oyster & sesame sauce *Roasted Cauliflower & Kale Salad with a lemon & tahini dressing

20.01.2022 FISH & CHIPS So good you can feel the sand between your toes and the sea breeze in your face (which is a bit weird when you still got ya shoes on) #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #sydneysbestfishandchips

19.01.2022 THE MIGHTY MIBRASA OVEN Taking pride and place in our kitchens is the Mibrasa oven. Coming all the way from Spain, this coal fired beast is what we use to cook all our fish & meat dishes. Its a lot to handle but when you can harness the power we think the results are spectacular. Steaks get a beautiful outer crust and stay juicy in the middle, chicken gets that lovely char, and our fish achieves the holey grail of crispy skin and a poached centre. ... Ask to take a look at the oven at work the next time you visit... just don't get too close as some say it burns hotter than the sun!

18.01.2022 PUBLIC HOLIDAY CLOSED - MONDAY 5TH OCTOBER - We are having a day off at both shops. Both back open Tuesday 6th October at 5:30pm. You'll 'bearly' notice we were gone #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal

17.01.2022 ORA KING SALMON We feel very lucky that we get to serve such a wonderful fish. After first tasting Ora King, it literally changed our business forever, as we knew we could never go back. THE BEST OF A UNIQUE BREED The result of classical breeding, responsible husbandry and selective Master Grading,only our finest-quality King salmon are labelled ra King.... PRISTINE PROVENANCE ra King salmon are raised in the cool, deep sea waters of the pristine Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. THE WAGYU OF SALMON ra King is to salmon as Wagyu is to beef. The high oil content, seen in the marbled fat lines within the bright orange flesh, delivers an elegant buttery texture and rich full flavour. SUSTAINABLE ra King facilities are Best Aquaculture Practices certified by the Global Aquaculture Alliance.

16.01.2022 JANE APPRECIATION POST . A couple of months back I wrote an appreciation post for our Crows Nest supervisor Lyall who is a big part of the S&B family today. . I'm sure many of you from our Newtown (RIP) and Zetland stores know Jane very well. Jane was the original S&B success story. Starting out as manager of Newtown before moving to Zetland Jane was a brilliant employee throughout her time with us who really took our business to her heart. We sponsored Jane and are happy ...to say she eventually got PR and has now moved on to pursue the next chapter of her career. . Jane will forever be a part of the the S&B family, she even found love with her current boyfriend Ben at S&B Newtown when he was her assistant mangager, she is still his boss today haha (S&B Wedding one day) . Jane is doing us a solid this week by covering Crows Nest as Lyall takes a well deserved holiday. Come and say hello to this S&B Leg - end this week! . #didntknowitwasfathersdaysundayhahasucker #salmonandbearcrowsnest #hospolife #employeeappreciation #beadventurouseatlocal See more

15.01.2022 OUR MOST UNDERRATED DISH. The humble grilled chicken is an incredibly simple dish but seriously what's not to love? @mibrasa chargilled butterflied & brined chicken breast, topped with lemon butter, served with salad & french fries. We have one loyal customer, Belinda in Crows Nest, who has ordered this dish 59 TIMES in the one year we have been open. Her pro tip is to add Peri Peri sauce too! ... #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #simplecookingisthebestcooking #chargrilledchicken #frenchfries #belindaknowsbest #periperichicken #periperisauce

11.01.2022 NEW MENU When we were told we could reopen for dine in we had a week to pull everything together which is not as easy as you might think. This being hospitality we didn't sign up for the easy life, so we also decided to come back with a new winter menu too! We did some soul searching as to what we wanted Salmon & Bear to be coming out of the restrictions. We decided we needed to add value to our menu with the aim of feeding our guests a hearty fish (plus a few meat) supper ...whenever you dine with us. We have also brought back some winter favourites from previous years that we know you love. We hope you like the changes we have made and we look forward to you dining with us again soon.

10.01.2022 I was told by a customer yesterday that our logo, the half bear, half salmon in traditional chinese culture represents a dilemma. The only dilemma we can see is the choice between a delicious charcoal grilled steak or crispy skinned salmon and you cant lose either way! #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #onedaythesalmonwilleatthebear #youarethebear

09.01.2022 FISH & CHIP Friday is our favourite day of the week. Its also one of our favourite customers, John's favourite day of the week. Without fail, come rain or shine John comes and picks up a portion or two of our Fish & Chips every Friday and sometimes again on Saturday. What a legend! Good on ya John.

09.01.2022 Our speciality is grilling fish (and now meat) over charcoal in our Mibrasa oven. We encourage you to match your fish with your choice of sauce and share from our delicious selection of side dishes. Share with friends & family, this is the Salmon & Bear way. #mibrasaoven #charcoalcooking #beadventurouseatlocal #sharingiscaring #family #friends #crowsnestrestaurant #zetlandrestaurants #barramundi

09.01.2022 THE BEST SALMON IN THE WORLD. . 1. Highest Omega 3 fat content of any salmon as seen in the rich marbled flesh. 2. A rich buttery eating experience comparable to Wagyu in the steak world. 3. @massimobottura says so!... . We offer this amazing product for $29.95 grilled over charcoal with a side, a salad and sauce of your choice. That is ridiculously good value! . #orakingsalmon #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal See more

With spring around the corner its the perfect time to rekindle your poke love affair . Choose from Yellowfin Tuna, Miso Eggplant (Vegan) or Ora King Salmon . Yes they are gluten free and yes they are bloody delicious.

08.01.2022 https://www.facebook.com/orakingsalmon/videos/2985620798196545/ Massimo Bottura is an Italian restaurateur and the chef patron of Osteria Francescana, a three-Michelin-star restaurant based in Modena, Italy which has been listed in the top 5 at The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards since 2010. Look how excited he gets when cooking the brilliant Ora King Salmon from New Zealand. He declares it the best in the world and we couldn't agree more. ... Salmon & Bear has had Ora King Salmon on its menu since we opened five years ago. Its a brilliant product that in truth is too expensive for us to carry on our menu but once we tasted it we knew no other salmon would compare. Ora King Salmon with a sauce and a side will set you back $29.95 in the restaurant. We think that's a bargain for the best salmon in the world. "It is butter!"

07.01.2022 I'm originally from the UK and I spent many happy years of my hospo life working in some great establishments where I learnt my trade. Right now what is happening in the UK due to Covid-19 only serves to show how lucky we really are in Australia. In my opinion the hospitality industry back home has been treated really poorly by the UK government, with many amazing restaurants not knowing what they can do from one day to the next, with policy changes happening almost weekly wi...th little to no notice. I dont know how everyone keeps finding the energy, nevermind the money to keep going. This post is a shout out to all those doing it tough right now. As a hospo lifer you are in my thoughts and I wish you all the strength and resillience you need to come through these dark moments. @oldqueenshead @theblueskitchen @the_columbo_group @tapandkitchen @bravesirrobinn4 @thegrandclapham

07.01.2022 Back home in the UK, the first Friday of June is celebrated as national Fish & Chip day. We all know these days are a bit silly, as our fish & chips taste great any day of the week, but we want to get behind this one as we think our fish & chips are bloody good! .

06.01.2022 Restaurant goers, the hard work starts now. We are back, and we want it to stay that way! Sadly, at the end of all of this, there will be many casualties in the restaurant industry, and we could still be one of them. But, you our customers - have the opportunity to support the restaurants you love and take action to make sure they stay open. The easiest way to do this is to dine at the place you love on a weekly basis, or as often as you can.... For all too long we have seen the Sydney dining scene revolve around the next new opening, but for a restaurant to succeed, we need locals like you spending your hard earned dollars in your favourite restaurants on a regular basis. Pick your top 5 restaurants and go as much as you can. We can guarantee you there will be people behind the scenes working hard to feed you delicious meals and create a great dining experience every time you visit. Here's hoping we make your top 5. https://salmonandbear.com.au/

06.01.2022 To all our customers old and new who have supported us since we reopened June 1st we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was a great feeling to see our dining rooms come to life again over the last week. Even with limited numbers, there was the energy in the room that we missed for 10 weeks. Whilst take away sales kept the business alive, just (!), we didn't get into this game to listen to home delivery tablets dinging and packing food into bags and boxes. Thank you f...or being patient with us at times, as everybody gets used to the new normal, the busy periods are harder to predict and thus, staff accordingly. We are still working with a small team as we build our turnover back up. Thank you to all our staff and suppliers - you have stuck by us throughout this time, Joel & I could not have got to this point without you.

06.01.2022 SPRING IS SPRINGING . Sydney seems to be finally ready to shake of the winter chill and get back to what it does best, sunny alfresco dining. . Both Crows Nest and Zetland enjoy great sunny courtyards for you to enjoy some of Sydney's best casual seafood dining. ... . What better than enjoying a perfectly grilled piece of fish, some french fries on the side accompanied by a nice glass of chardonnay or a cool refreshing beer with a portion of our famous fish & chips? . The additional space increases our seating capacity and helps us keep up with the social distancing recommendations and keep you safe, so be adventurous and eat local this week! . #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #steak #chicken #fish #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal See more

04.01.2022 Salmon & Bear has a small but perfectly formed drinks list. The wines were carefully chosen by Jane (who we introduced on an earlier post) and we think they offer great bang for your buck. We also offer wine by carafe (Just over 3 glasses) which we think is a great way to enjoy a drink midweek without commiting to a full bottle. We stock a wide selection of craft beers in support of independent brewers. ... Should we add some pre mixed cocktails to our drinks menu? What beers would you like to see us stock? #salmonandbear #salmonandbearzetland #salmonandbearcrowsnest #mibrasaoven #travellorschoice #charcoalcooking #orakingsalmon #steak #chicken #fish #fishandchips #fishandchipssydney #sydneyrestaurants #crowsnest #zetland #sydneyseafoodies #beadventurouseatlocal #sorrynobyo #carafés #craftbeer #younghenrys

03.01.2022 NEW MENU ITEMS Ever since we opened Salmon & Bear people have said, we get the salmon but why the bear as you don't serve meat? The truth was it was as simple as bears eat salmon and you the customer were the bear. Grrrr! When we were designing our new menu we recognised that we already have the coal fired beast that is the Mibrasa oven taking pride and place in our kitchen, which was born to cook steaks, so this time we thought why not? ... So we introduce to you our new charcoal grilled meats all served with a choice of side and a sauce (we even added a pepper sauce to our menu for you die hard fans) Charcoal Grilled Ribeye Steak (250g) Charcoal Grilled Fillet Steak (250g) Charcoal Grilled Chicken Breast (200g) Book now: https://salmonandbear.com.au/

02.01.2022 GARLIC PRAWNS We are a seafood restaurant, we gotta have a prawn dish on the menu! We have tried many prawn dishes over the years but for whatever reason they have never been as popular as we hoped. We almost gave up trying. ... This time we think we have cracked it. We have kept things simple. Beautiful Australian banana prawns, lots of garlic, lots of lemon butter, salt ,chives and toasted Sonoma sourdough to mop up all those buttery juices. This is a must order dish to start or add some fries as a brilliant main course! Book now: https://salmonandbear.com.au/

02.01.2022 At Salmon & Bear we cook over charcoal in our Mibrasa Oven. . We imported the oven from Spain after Joel discovered this coal fired beast on his holidays. Cooking in this oven takes real skill and understanding of fire and flame. We are now cooking steaks and chicken in the oven over coal as well as fish, the flavour this method of cooking imparts is unique. .
