Restaurant in Campbell Parade
A cosy Campbell Parade all-day restaurant and wine bar doing a cult-followed brunch by day and Mediterranean-leaning share plates by night, a short stroll from the sand.
Parida wears two hats well: a people-watching brunch corner overlooking Campbell Parade with a genuine local following, and a relaxed evening wine bar built around tapas-style share plates and an engaged wine list. The kitchen leans on Spanish and Middle Eastern accents (think za'atar-spiced eggs with falafel and tahini alongside the usual Bondi brunch classics), so it feels a notch more characterful than the standard beach cafe. We'd choose it when you want somewhere unfussy that works equally for an early coffee or a lingering evening glass without committing to a big dinner.
By day, the spiced/za'atar egg plates and the Wagyu burger; in the evening, graze across the small plates — halloumi and watermelon, polenta chips, popcorn chicken, sticky pork ribs and arancini — paired with a glass off the wine list.
Cosy, casual and lively, with sought-after outdoor corner seating for watching the Campbell Parade parade.
Local tip: The share-plate value peaks after dark from Friday to Sunday, when Parida runs its later wine-bar hours; earlier in the week it trades mainly as a daytime brunch-and-lunch spot, so time your visit to the mode you're after.
Worth knowing: It's across the road from the beach rather than beachfront, so you get the buzz of Campbell Parade but no ocean view from the table.
