Restaurant in Campbell Parade
A lively Greek taverna-style restaurant perched high on Campbell Parade with Bondi Beach views, built around house-made meze, shared plates and Mediterranean spritzes.
Named after the Greek "Blue Zone" island, Ikaria leans into long, unhurried island-style dining: pita and house-made dips, saganaki, seafood like kingfish crudo and grilled prawns, all designed to share. It sits elevated across from the sand, so you get the beach outlook without being in the thick of the beachfront crush. With a late kitchen and cheap late-night drinks, it works as both an easy post-beach lunch and a group launchpad for a Bondi night out.
The house-made pita-and-dip trio (hummus, taramasalata, muhammara), saganaki, and the shareable seafood plates such as calamari and grilled prawns.
Relaxed, sun-washed Mediterranean-island feel — terracotta, clay pots, archways and rattan — that gets lively into the evening.
Local tip: Come for the happy hour window from 5pm for discounted spritzes and pita with dips, or roll in after 10pm when margaritas drop to a flat cheap price — a rare late, affordable option this close to the sand.
Worth knowing: It's a meze-and-drinks share format that skews toward evenings and groups, so it's less suited to a quiet, sit-down solo meal or young families after bedtime.
