Pompei's

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.

Had a great experience at MOD Dining! The food was absolutely delicious — the crispy fried eggplant was definitely the highlight for me. Seriously, if you go, get the eggplant. Our waiter was super attentive and just a really cool person overall, which made the whole vibe even better. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere — stylish but still really comfortable. Highly recommend dining here if you’re looking for a great meal and nice vibe.

About the restaurant

Chat Thai became an instant smash hit in 1989 when it opened its first restaurant with plenty of heat and authentic Thai dishes. We've since added restaurants in Circular Quay, Westfield Sydney, Neutral Bay, Chatswood and Galeries Victoria, and in 2015 we added organic, fresh produce from our farm in Byron Bay. We look forward to meeting you soon.

The food and service were good. However, the tables were being set too closed together. It would be ok for quick bite or quick lunch.

About the restaurant

There are few cuisines more comforting than Italian food and with everything going on in the world right now, we sure need as much comfort as we can get!

As always, at Vapiano, we’re continuing to bring traditional Italian recipes to life with a dash of Aussie spice and the best Australian produce (sourced from within 150 kilometres of each restaurant where possible).

With favourites like our Carbonara or Bolognese pasta, and Margherita or Barbeque Pollo pizza, you won't be disappointed! Dine with us today and experience a slice of Italy in Sydney.

Great location, good selection of food and drinks. I love Vapiano for work related lunches as the volume level is low so it's easy to have cross table conversations. Staff are knowledgeable and approachable. Also, lots of room and outdoor options
