Bondi is not just a beach, it's an experience. A quintessential destination for those looking for a taste of Australian culture, Bondi has something for everyone. From the stunning coastline and vibrant community, to the bustling food scene, Bondi's unique character is what makes it one of Sydney's most iconic suburbs.
It's a place where you can indulge in world-class cuisine, sip on unique cocktails, and take in the beautiful surroundings. So, whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to add Bondi to your list of must-visit foodie destinations.
Here are four of the best restaurants in Bondi that you can book through First Table:
Bondi Liquor Co
Bondi Liquor Co is the first distillery to operate in the heart of Bondi Beach, offering unique botanicals alongside soulful food.
Their passion for their gin is evident in the crystal-clear bottles lining the walls, and their on site gin still, affectionately called May. Settle in an order yourself a gin based cocktail - coffee mar-creamy or rhubarb sour anyone? It would be rude not to.
Their food menu is designed to share, and can be described as a melting pot of influence from Latin America, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Summer favorites like crispy arancini balls and fish tacos, sit alongside spiced calamari and spaghetti aglio e olio with prawns, and their famous BLC cheeseburger.
Mama Saan
Mama Saan is a stunning Japanese restaurant located just one street away from Bondi Beach. With its elegant and cozy atmosphere, and a menu full of bold and experimental dishes, it's no wonder that this restaurant has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
From the sumo wrestler signifying their bestsellers of pork or vegetarian gyoza, karaage chicken or cauliflower, and misto-roasted eggplant, to designing your own bao bun, Mama Saan promises a dining experience that will leave you wanting more.
Bondi Rumba
Experience a Mexican food fiesta with friends at Bondi Rumba, where you can indulge in your favourite bites like tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos.
The drinks menu is equally impressive, with a focus on fresh cocktails featuring agave and margaritas made with real lime juice, as well as local and Latin American beers and wines. This cozy Latin beach shack offers a fun and friendly atmosphere for dining and people watching.
Chouchou
Chouchou is a warm and elegant bistro in Bondi that offers local and French-sourced food, wine, and beer. With cozy French decor and a romantic atmosphere, it's the perfect place for a date night.
You can indulge in French staples like quiche, beef tartare, and raclette, accompanied by a glass of wine sourced from French vineyards or local ones in Bondi. If you're looking for a cozy and intimate dining experience in Bondi, Chouchou is definitely worth a visit.
With its beautiful beaches, vibrant community, and bustling food scene, Bondi is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a taste of Australian culture.
