Many local kids have strolled by Clovelly Road after Nippers and stopped over at Out of the Blue for some tasty burgers and chips. For nearly two decades, this nondescript eatery has attracted a long line of people who patiently wait outside to get their tasty fill.
Out of the Blue is consistently a standout when other eateries have come and gone at this busy street corner bordering Coogee and Clovelly.
At times, especially when the weather is beautiful, the queue of people may extend all the way to the beach so it’s might be a good idea to call in advance for your orders or expect the long waiting time (it’s worth it!).
The variety of burgers at Out of the Blue is plentiful and reasonably priced. Julien’s Famous Fish Burger really lives up to its name because it is the most popular choice.
But what makes the burgers truly irresistible is the chili mayo. Thick, creamy and with the right amount of kick, batches of chili are made fresh and in-store every day.
This takeaway shop has been a family-run business ever since. Every order is prepared right in front of the customers.
“We don’t believe in compromising on quality or taste, thats why we put a great emphasis on homemade,” Jean Marc and Sophie Gubian said.
When Chef Jean Marc and Sophie Gubian arrived in Sydney from France to set their roots in the 1980s, they also dreamt of having their own restaurant. Today, the couple’s children are managing Out of the Blue.
For the store’s opening hours, visit their website or Instagram for the details. The shop takes cash payments only.
“You can get fish and chips here and it’s outlived many good competitors, the serving staff are always friendly and like to connect, dudes hang out on the pavement out front with their skateboards and spandex beach gear, there always seem to be a mixture of earthy beach goers and happy tourists hanging out there.”

“Have been eating here for years and have always had a good experience – I like the veggie and the fish burger – also the chicken with chilli mayo. Chips are great and generous portions. So good that you can get a half-small serve of chips – enough for one person. Order ahead if you don’t want to wait. Friendly staff.”

“Food is well priced and most importantly delicious. I’ve been here multiple times and food is always high quality. The Julien’s famous is a must! Only downside is the wait time because they get busy so best to call in advance.”
