Amazing Restaurants: Mamasan

Mamasan is an amazing asian tapas restaurant along Glenayar Avenue in Bondi, opposite the Beach Road Hotel.

I had never been in before but was interested in trying it and I'm glad I did. Mamasan has a very asian hipster vibe about it, and it works. A lot of the decor is quite antique or asian and the combination creates a very sleek atmosphere.

The Bondi Cafes: Billy's Wet Bar Cafe

Posted on Sunday, April 7, 2013

7 April 2013

I honestly did not expect university to be so crazy. I do apologise for the lack of posts but hopefully I can slowly make it up to you.

The focus this time is on a little dark horse, slowly making its way through the pack in Bondi. Billy's Wet Bar Cafe. My friends and I discovered them once when Speedos was too packed one summers day at Bondi Beach, and we wanted hot chips.

Then, we went up to this small cafe right next to Speedos and near the surf school and had the most AMAZING chips - cooked to perfection. In fact, they were so good, we had three servings shared between the ten of us, we just kept going back.

After talking with the owner, I decided to go have lunch with some friends.


I had a $9.90 mushroom risotto and my friend had a burger.

Consequently, I took my family to dinner a few days after. The menu is limited but there is something for everyone.




salt & pepper squid with pesto oil


haloumi and rocket salad




four mushroom risotto


honestly, I cannot remember what this was but I think it was fish



my lamb chops were amazingggggggg. Accompanied with a ratatouille like sauce.


Don't forget the guys up the road, Billy's was a pleasant surprise.

Bondi: The Canteen Bar & Diner

Posted on Monday, December 3, 2012

1 December

Sorry it has been awhile. Exams have consumed my life and I've just recovered from the recovery. Here are a few snaps from my dinner at newly renamed "The Canteen" down on Campbell Parade.







The food was simple and delicious. And the Jargaritas were awesome!

The Bondi Cafes: Bondi FM

Posted on Monday, September 3, 2012

3 September 2012

And we're back and ready to roll again.

This weekend was Father's Day of course, however I spent lunch with my two friends Frankie & Pia. We headed down to Bondi FM, which is probably my favourite cafe in Bondi.



This was my dish. It was called "The Angry Mexican" and from memory it was $15.90. It was chorizo in sauce, rocket, spinach topped with two poached eggs, goats cheese and pesto. It was AMAZING. I don't think words can describe this. I would say it was the worlds most perfect breakfast. Just the right balance of everything. The goats cheese really complemented the saltiness of the chorizo as well.


This was Pia's dish. It was called the "Bikini Buster" and I think it would bust anyone's bikini just by looking at it.


My friend Frankie got a good ol' Bacon and Egg Roll. She definitely enjoyed it and it was half the price of mine too (haha).


But Bondi FM does not only do breakfast - they do an amazing lunch as well. Earlier on this year, I went and ordered a Nachos to share between two.




This is great. I love Nachos, it's my weakness. This kept two very hungry ladies full for the rest of the day.

I'm definitely becoming a regular here and I suggest that you try it out because so far, everything I've eaten there has been amazing. 

Not only that but Bondi FM is actually a radio station so while you eat, you get to hear some great tunes.

D'Vine: Wine Bar

Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2012

15 May


On Mother's Day, my family and I went up the road to D'vine which is a grill, wine and tapas bar. Bondi is such a great location to live. If you go just a few hundred metres up the road you have some extraordinary bars and restaurants which never fail to deliver. D'vine is just another solid example.



Vegetable Dips Platter beetroot, carrot, hummus, tzatsiki dips with Turkish bread $13



Garlic Prawns sauteed in chilli, tomato & basil $14


Raspberry Caproiska
Vodka, lime cordial, sugar, fresh lime, raspberry juice and raspberries $12






BBQ Mixed Meat Platter w lamb koftas, wagyu skewer, chicken thigh fillet skewer & chorizo sausage $29

My photos really do not do this justice I have to say!




Cheeseboard w Maffra cheddar, Jindi triple cream, Gippsland blue, dried & fresh fruits & fig jam $22



Trio of Sorbets green apple, raspberry, lemon & lime $11


D'vine has dark lighting clearly and on the night there was live brazillian music. Make sure you get in early for happy hour.

You can find D'vine on 206 Bondi Road
