About Mister Grotto

Discover what makes Mister Grotto a local favourite, from the people behind the pass to the flavours that define its style.

A small, lively seafood restaurant in the heart of Newtown, Mister Grotto feels somewhere between a fisherman’s cabin and a boat. The menu celebrates Australia’s incredible seafood, with a focus on quality produce, trusted suppliers and simple, fire-led cooking that lets it speak for itself. Oysters shucked to order, fish from the raw bar and the charcoal grill, plus a sharp wine list and playful cocktails. Book or walk in, everyone’s welcome.
