There's plenty to eat and drink in Bondi.
This is a selection, listed as you would find them
if you were walking down
Campbell Parade
on the beachfront from south Bondi
(and there's one listed for Bondi Junction).
BYO means Bring Your Own Alcohol! A great Australian custom;
some restaurants charge corkage if you bring your own wine,
but it's usually not more than $2.
If you run a restaurant or coffee shop that is not listed here,
or you simply want to recommend one or even review one,
please let us know.

Monkey Magic: Spring Street, Bondi Junction.
"There is a great new Thai eatery on Spring Street Bondi Jnc, called
Monkey Magic.
It offers really great food at really cheap prices,
and always has a varied crowd - Asian language students,
muscle-marys from the local gyms, locals like me.
Hiroki and Masako are really friendly, and having
Japanese patrons ensures a super-clean environment.
The best dishes are the Pad Thai Worn Sen, really fine noodles,
great with tofu and a little curry sauce,
and of course the green curry!
Food is fresh cooked (i.e. NOT from a big tub) and $6.50
will buy you a big meat main. Enjoy!" - review by Nic.

"Sports Bar (to those who have loved it since
Rod opened up the Sports Bard - it's a long story)
is a very friendly and relaxed cafe/restaurant/bar.
The fish and chips are the best. But for a special
taste sensation at breakfast try the Asian rice omelette.
If you want something more traditional,
the bacon and eggs (especially scrambled) are wonderful."
