Based on high TA ratings we pre-booked this small but popular caffe for an early dinner.Our food choices were well cooked traditional pasta and meat dishes and the support of locals was obvious, including take-away service. By Sydney pricing standards the food was very good value and overall we had a very good experience.

Bondi Trattoria

Looking down over the iconic Bondi Beach, the Tratt is a true Sydney local. For 32 years this restaurant has served modern Italian food made from the best Australian ingredients and a full bar offering Australian and Italian wines, spirits and liqueurs. U

Reviewed By Tamarama_Sally

The Bondi restaurant scene is constantly changing, but the Tratt remains a reliable local favourite. After the most recent facelift it’s cooler and more expensive than before. But the prices are still reasonable, the service is high standard, and the food ranges from good to very good. If in doubt, the pizzas and pasta never disappoint.Thanks for your kind words. We took over the Tratt just over two years ago now and we did give it a little facelift, but we wanted the space to continue being relaxed, but professional and overall welcoming. Somewhere for a fancy date night, somewhere for a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, somewhere for a breezy breakfast, and many things in between. We make pasta in house now, and the sourdough culture for our pizzas is two years strong now too. We hope we're not too cool though!Thanks again, we look forward to welcoming you again soon at the Tratt.

Bistro Moncur

Located in the heart of Woollahra, Bistro Moncur is a French bistro that has become an institution in the Sydney dining scene. This classic French bistro has a long-established menu with guests regularly returning to enjoy old favourites, new specials, pr

Reviewed By immctagg

Recommended by friends, so we seized the opportunity for a Saturday at Bistro Moncur. Luckily we jagged a small inside table that barely accommodated the four of us. It was cool outside so the quieter option of outside dining was not going to work. Who likes those gas heaters anyway. The menu provided an adequate range of choices for starters and mains. Choosing tap water seemed to set us in a group by the way the waiter responded to our unanimous choice. However, it did keep coming. Not always the case. Meals that come incomplete are not trendy. When you order a meal you expect ti to be complete with meat and veggies. Some of these came with half a frying basket of carefully drained french fries beside the meat. The meal becomes boring and one dimensional even with a large bowl of steamed brussel-sprouts. Getting the order in was all so rushed. The entrees came and were of such a size that they should have been shared. This is frequently a hit an miss affair. Fortunatley sharing an entree proved to be the right decision. It might have made more sense to share 3 and skip a main. Anyway the red wine, just shy of $100 helped it all go down very well. Room for some deserts and we all went home very satisfied. Not a cheap night out but then we do not dine here every night. Budget on at least $100 per head including wine. More if you are having appetisers and or cocktails.

Claires kitchen at le Salon

French born Marc Kuzma AKA Claire de Lune, has created a traditional French Brasserie menu with a few modern twists. Claire has decorated the venue with fabulous imported wall papers, antiques and chic furniture. Business partner, Valentin has hand picked

Reviewed By Jackie M

There’s a collective intake of breath in the intimate dining room when everyone opens their menus. Fanning out like piano accordions, each menu’s glowing white light captures guests’ faces in a state of childlike wonder as they scratch their heads and wonder what it is they’re meant to eat. Eat the pages of the menu? It’s rather absurd, but then so is the nonsensical and satirical movement Le Salon DadA is based upon. Being familiar with Marc Kuzma’s work at El'Circo at Slide, I entered Claire’s Kitchen at Le Salon with a fair idea of what to expect. In this setting Kuzma (who is also known as Claire de Lune) has kicked things up to the next level using a City of Sydney night-time diversification grant. These monies are all about local council trying to restore some of Sydney’s faded night-time glory, decimated by Gladys Berejiklian’s lockout laws. It's a perverse situation of local government giving what the state government has taken away.But I digress… Kuzma’s resulting night, (which will set you back $140/head) is based upon Cabaret Voltaire, a Swiss enclave of artists escaping the First World War. DadA was anti-establishment, anti-reason and anti-logic. DadA was the antidote to the bourgeois capitalist interests that the artists believed had led people into war in the first place. Following this line, our first course takes curative form as a wartime first aid kid with tongue depressor, bandages and a petri dish containing a smooth French mushroom parfait topped with sauternes jelly. Scraped onto crackers, it’ll sustain you through your cocktail construction – the recipe and ingredients are in your bucket.With shiso leaf-infused vodka, nettle liqueur and pomegranate cordial, it’s a tangy, slightly more sophisticated Cosmopolitan with little blasts of sweetness when the pearls of passionfruit and lime pop on your tongue. The rest of your boozing is done in the usual fashion, with many wines - including the 2017 Cave de Turckheim Pinot Blanc ($70/bottle) we selected - available by glass, carafe and full bottle. The fresh, dry white wine proves easy to enjoy through some on-stage art that sees a semi-nude model enhanced with the f-holes from a cello, and some at-the-table card tricks. It’s a multimedia affair, with German expressionist film, The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1920), playing on screens placed throughout the dining room. Seen through the eyes of an asylum patient, the film may leave you wondering what’s real and what’s not.Contortionist Jade Twist continues our surrealist descent by wearing a black zentai suit with eyes and lips in all the wrong places. Tying herself in knots until she looks like a human pretzel, Twist makes it hard to know which way is up, and which direction way is forward. It's a perfect segue to a course based upon The Persistence of Memory (1931), arguably Salvador Dali’s most famous surrealist work. From the edge of a martini glass, his melting pocket watch drips in cracker form to accompany a well-spiced cold capsicum and tomato soup. Your soup is poured from a vessel that is itself a nod to Dali’s 1972 piece, Marilyn Monroe, shown up on the screens.It’s this attention to detail that makes Kuzma’s night so intellectually rich for art-lovers, with clever details like Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel (1913) in the stairwell on the way up to the dining room. Even the table setting is done in the style of DadA, down to a DadA print cloth serviette. Without wanting to give it all away, the next course – the only hot course - a rainbow trout roulade, is a nod to Joan Miró. Everything on the splattered abstract plate is edible, down to the crisp fish bones.On the stage, the inimitable Shauna Jensen is clad in a thematic ‘singing fish’ (one of Miro’s recurring motifs) kaftan, as she belts out Ella Jenkins' Wade in the Water. Jensen returns later in the evening with This Is Me from The Greatest Showman. It's guaranteed to leave you uplifted – from her talented lips the power ballad’s lyrics sound inspirational rather than twee. Kuzma has been booking cabaret acts for decades and has a real eye for talent, as you’ll no doubt discover across the night.Le Salon DadA is a rich and punny, multimedia experience that will appeal to all of your senses. “Just like the painting, there is no confusion, it is designed to put in your mouth,” Kuzma finishes.Le Salon DadA takes place on Sunday evenings at Claire's Kitchen at le Salon. Bookings are essential.

Corner 75 Restaurant

Reviewed By Greg B

Let me conform at the outset that Hungarian food is acclaimed for its wonderful flavours worldwide, and in the tradition of the classic Hungarian restaurant, the Corner 75 menu has an enormous range of Hungarian and European dishes. For starters you should savour the amazing Goulash soup, the Matzo Dumpling Soup or one of my favourites Lecho with Frankfurters.For the mains you MUST dip into the Paprika Schnitzel (very Hungarian) or my favourite the Gipsy Roast (Lean pork fillets in garlic sauce and crispy bacon). But wait, no Hungarina meal is complete with some very flavoursome sides such as Hungarian Red Cabbage or Cream of Spinach and add to that some really good Lángosh (Hungarian Garlic Bread).There is also the ever popular Crispy Duck which my wife loves, or if you like taste the Eye Fillet, the Veal Fillet with Lecho Salsa, or Veal "Brassói (Pan fried veal strips with garlic, onion, bacon and herbs, tossed with sautéed potatoes).To top it off, the restaurant is BYO or if you prefer try the wonderful range of pálinkas; pure fruit brandies imported from countries including Hungary, Croatia, Montenegro and France. The host is Paul Varga who is a native of Hungary with over twenty years experience in Hungarian, Russian, Polish and Modern Australian cuisine. A must visit if you desire authentic Hungarian meals in a warm, casual and friendly environment.

bibo Wine Bar

Modern, elegant wine bar in the heart of Double Bay, with delicious food using the best local produce, exceptional wines and friendly service.

Reviewed By ArmaanHCMC

I was lucky enough to attend a third birthday dinner for Bibo Wine Bar this week. Not only do they have a highly original and unique selection of fabulous wines but these pair so effortlessly with their delicious food menu. Everything is a perfect match.Dinner was a selection of share plates starting with entree style smoked salmon pâté, the incredibly delicious scallop cru & finger lime, runner bean fitters, and the piri piri aubergine and the mouth watering Flambé chorizo. This was followed by the equally mouth watering main size Suckling Pig with Fennel, persimmon & pomegranate. We finished this with a quince & bergamot tart followed my mini Portuguese tarts straight out of the oven. All of this was with matching wines by the glass perfectly chosen from Portugal to Australia. All in all this was a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend Bibo Wine Bar for anything from a special dinner for two to a large group booking for a celebration. Either way you will be looked after and will have a truly special dinning experience.

Bishop Sessa

Reviewed By RonWamberal

Superficially good but just misses. Good lunch venue, could be either a cafe or wine bar, food artistically presented but just missed. The jerusalam artichoke appealed as a small dish but the taste lacked any taste or flavour.The restaurant is closing partly because of the nearby light rail chaos but I'm not sure it was worthy of a repeat visit.

Reviewed By AdelaideAndrew

We attended at Moxhe, without a reservation; on a Friday evening. The cheerful staff member accommodated us with a great table. The food was more than delicious. We started with an amuse bouche and then by sharing three different flavours of Sydney rock oysters, then mussels smoked on a bed of lucerne, then squid in a ink jus, with freekah and cucumber, and prawn tortellini. For main we shared sea bream, with pipis, cockles or vongole (depending on where you hail from) and green vegetables. Topped off with banana gelato and chocolate entremet for the dessert lovers. The menu is based around whatever chef has bought at the day’s market. Not a cheap restaurant but very worthwhile for delicious fresh, carefully considered food. We recommend Moxhe highly,Hi Andrew!Thanks for your kind words, i’ll Pass them to the team. I’m glad you enjoyed your time with us.

Cafe de France

Reviewed By Cpennington92

I visited Cafe De France in Coogee with my partner in April 2019 based on a recommendation from a lady who worked in both this cafe and another one on Coogee Bay road. The restaurant is on a back street and there are both seats outside on the street and within the restaurant. Myself and my partner both ordered the Croque-Monsieur, which the restaurant prides itself for being the the best in the world. Unfortunately, we found it to be a little bland and average at best. The waitress was a little turse, too; not very friendly when taking our order or serving us!
