Bondi Beach

About the restaurant

Ikaria is a Greek Island which derives its name from Icarus, who is believed to have fallen into the sea after he tried to fly to the sun with wax wings. One of the five Blue Zones in the world, Ikaria is a natural idyll in the Aegean Sea where people are said to live the longest. It is a nature lover's paradise surrounded by crystal blue water along the coast. The Ikarian way of life has inspired us to bring the lifestyle and longevity to the iconic Bondi Beach. With unobstructed ocean views, Ikaria Bondi brings people together to create a bond between community and friends through Mediterranean Mezes and delicious cocktails.

The banquet gave us a lot of variety and introduction to a number of Greek dishes. The dips and cauliflower were great.

Lovely evening spent at Iberica. The Spanish menu was impeccably explained by our very attentive & very warm waitress. The decor is REALLY well done. Cosy, romantic, rustic & comfortable. No expense spared when fitting out this classy venue. The food was interesting & served us well being Coeliac. I found it a bit expensive so recommend perusing the menu in advance. If it’s in your budget, it will be money well spent.

Bondi Beach

About the restaurant

Two very special but uniquely different places are the inspiration behind Pompei’s. The spectacular rustic beauty of Cortina perched high in the Alps of northern Italy underpins everything we do. And the eclectic cool chic of the world’s most famous beach shapes how we do it. Just as the dramatic vertical pale peaks of the Dolomites contrasts with the cosmopolitan marine landscapes of Bondi, our faith in traditional artisanal hand-crafting cooking contrasts with our creativity and innovation to produce delicately balanced healthy dishes. It’s our tradition in evolution, continuing our journey guided by fond memories of my mother’s Italian home cooking. They say there’s two sides to every story - so stay a while and hear ours. We might be from Cortina, but we’ve made this place our home. And both places define us. We’re Bondi made Italian.
