Restaurant in Campbell Parade
A buzzy all-day Mediterranean bar-and-diner at the northern end of Campbell Parade, from Darren Robertson (Three Blue Ducks) and Stuart Toon.
Rocker does that versatile Bondi thing well: light-timber dining room and a proper cocktail bar under one roof, with a produce-driven Mediterranean menu that shifts from focaccia-and-snacks brunches into house-made pastas and feasting plates by night. The founders' pedigree shows in the cooking, and the drinks program (margaritas shaken every which way, a wide wine list) means it works equally as a long lunch or a late session. We'd choose this when you want somewhere that can flex from a relaxed midday bite to a lively dinner without changing venues.
House-baked focaccia with confit garlic butter to start, then the house-made pastas (ox-cheek pappardelle is a signature) or a shared feasting plate; the Sunday roast is the standout weekend order, and there's a well-regarded vegan roast alternative.
Light, airy timber dining room paired with a lively cocktail bar; relaxed by day, buzzier with music by night.
Local tip: Our pick is a Sunday: the roast is genuinely one of Bondi's better ones and the room settles into an easy afternoon session, but book ahead because that's when it fills fastest.
Worth knowing: Closed Mondays, and being a popular spot on busy Campbell Parade it gets loud and crowded at peak times, so it's not the pick for a quiet, intimate dinner.
