Why we’d go
Bondi's Best began life as a fishmonger before growing into a full-service restaurant, and that heritage shows in a menu that swings from beer-battered fish and chips, crumbed calamari and potato scallops to sushi, sashimi and miso soup prepared by dedicated sushi chefs. We'd choose this when you want proper fresh seafood without the beachfront pricing or the wait for a view table, in a laid-back room with a beachy vibe. It's the kind of dependable, unfussy local spot that suits a casual family dinner as easily as a takeaway feed to eat down at the sand.
What to order
Beer-battered fish and chips, crumbed calamari and potato scallops from the Aussie side; sushi and sashimi from the raw bar. Sweet potato chips are a frequently praised side.
The atmosphere
Relaxed, lively and unpretentious dining room with a beachy feel
Local tip: It sits back on Campbell Parade rather than on the sand, so our move is to order takeaway and walk it the couple of minutes down to North Bondi for a proper ocean-view feed.
Worth knowing: Being off the sand, there are no ocean views from the room itself, and the fry-and-sushi format is casual rather than a special-occasion sit-down.
