  1. Sean's

    Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales

    This unpretentious restaurant has been a local favourite for over two decades. It feels more like you're having a meal at your best friend’s place, except the food is slightly more upmarket – if only your best friend could cook this well. The tiny open kitchen, headed by Chef Sean Moran, churns out a handful of innovative Modern Australian dishes that change daily.

    Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales

    Overlooking the esplanade and iconic Bondi Beach, North Bondi Fish may well be this suburb’s finest restaurant. Nothing is more appropriate for this location than fish and chips but the kitchen offers more than your ordinary fried affair. Celebrity Chef Matt Moran delivers you a grown-up, stylish take on ocean food. The decor is 'beach house up the coast' with a cute nautical theme and a breezy feel, perfect for a Sunday lunch sipping rosé and people watching.
