Bondi

Since 1993, this “rickety-chic” institution has been winning over Sydneysiders with its ever-changing menu, using ultra-fresh produce from the restaurant’s own farm.

On Bondi Beach's cliffside, this upscale Mediterranean restaurant flaunts its fabulous food and view.

Italian-inflected food and good times galore in a greenery-filled courtyard behind a dive-y ’70s pub.

Fresh handmade pasta, salumi and plenty of Italian vino.

A family-friendly spot that’s been looking after locals since 1997.

Coffee and a sandwich? Or a Negroni and some oysters? This spot does both equally well.

A hole-in-the-wall spot where you can grab chewy bagels stuffed with cured salmon or salted beef, with a side of crisps and pickles. Or grab house-made egg dip and schmears to take home.

Both food and wine have equal billing at this European-style venue that blurs the lines.

Soak in some of the best views of the city while sipping botanical cocktails and eating freshly shucked oysters and burgers.

This bar from Maurice Terzini matches casual dining with high-quality produce.

A lively bar with pirate panache.

Burgers, booze, the beach: a winning trifecta.

In an area where ice-cream competition is stiff, this vegan, nut-based entry holds its own.

A selection of coveted international labels that mixes sun, sand and style.

Handmade homewares and fashion for the beach-going set.

A boundary-pushing bottle shop selling small-batch products.
