This is the same owners as the cafe at the end of the street, but with a lot more space to sit and a more substantial menu. It’s a great spot for breakfast or lunch and it does tasty, simple Israeli dinners on Friday and Saturday nights too.

Great spot for brekky or lunch that's just around the corner. Be careful of the cookies, though - they're very, very addictive.

This is fine dining with an amazing view of Bondi Beach. Bookings are essential and it's not cheap - but if you want to treat yourself, this is the best place to go.

Fantastic little restaurant that does excellent seafood with an Italian bent - grab a table outside if it's warm or sit at the bar to watch the kitchen action inside. It's just around the corner and one of our faves. http://fishshop.com.au/

Sydney's best gelato, served with good cheer, retro vibes and a banging house music soundtrack. Their specials are out there, but I reckon the traditional flavours of chocolate, pistachio or strawberry are the best.

This is the best walk in Australia! It's about 30 minutes each way from Bondi to Bronte, but the views are spectacular. Great place to jog, too, if that's your thing.

This is the local's end of Bondi (tourists tend to head to the south, for some reason). The grassy knoll is like a gigantic party on a hot weekend day, and swimming off the rocks is like being in the Mediterranean .

This is an amazing Ocean pool that anyone can visit for the $9 entry fee. Avoid it between 9am and 11am on weekends as that's when they have competitions, but otherwise it's a great place for some laps or a gentle swim.
