Mohr Fish

Surry Hills & Darlinghurst


Hans Mohr started this fishy takeaway and diner decades ago, plating up fancy fish and chips with Euro stylings. The interior is more East End London eel-and-mash shop than hip Sydney, but the food is brilliant. There aren't many tables, so put your name down and go for drinks in the Shakespeare Hotel opposite; they'll come and call you.
