Icebergs Dining Room & Bar
Rain, hail or shine, this dining room, perched on a rocky clifftop overlooking
Sydney’s Bondi Beach, has to be one of the best-situated in the country. And
with head chef Monty Koludrovic’s Italian-accented menu, Icebergs continues
to sparkle. Dishes are borne through the dining room by elegantly clad staff,
landing on clothed tables as the sea breeze flows through. For something that
requires less commitment but with the same views, pull up a seat at the bar
for a Spritz and a snack of Ortiz anchovies on toast, or pared-back pasta made
with the day’s catch.1 Notts Ave, Bondi Beach, (02) 9365 9000, idrb.comNEW SOUTH WALES
Sean’s
It doesn’t get more Sydney than
a leisurely Sunday lunch at Sean
Moran’s breezy Bondi restaurant,
where produce-driven plates from the
succinct blackboard menu celebrate
the seasons with stripped-back style.
Corn chowder finished with smoked
rock oysters or a persimmon and
quince trifle may seem simple, but
every detail is given its due by an
assured and accommodating team
that has cultivated a fiercely loyal
clientele over the course of two
decades.270 Campbell Pde, Bondi Beach,
