A great little café and second hand bookstore. You have to try the Chai Tea, definitely the best in Sydney, but the food is delicious too. Come here to feel the iconic Bondi hipster vibe.

Great place to get some good flavoured meat on your plate. In peak period (weekends) you will need to make a reservation in advance and they are a bit more on the pricey side of things. Otherwise grab a bite at their express take-away outlet that is more reasonably priced next door.

Great quality Chinese food that is priced higher than normal cheap Chinese take-away food, but not ridiculously priced. Either way it will be worth it cause it's so tasty. Highly recommend this place.

This ice cream shop is on another level with cues out the door, loud music, getting an ice cream/gelato here is like entering an exclusive night club. Definitely an experience not to be missed and the gelato is amazing.

This restaurant & bar is seriously popular. Can't talk from personal experience because every time I walk past it looks to busy to get in. But it looks like an awesome little trendy bar with a food and drinks menu to match.

This restaurant/bar/night club is rocking just metres from the sand of beautiful Bondi. Can't talk from personal experience, but it is definitely one of the more trendy places to be seen either during the day or at night. Can't go past $25 Sunday roast dinners there though!

Sightseeing

The most famous beach in Australia is a must see when staying so close. It is also one of the safest ocean beaches to swim at as it does not get as rough as its neighbour beaches Tamarama and Bronte. But be sure to swim between the flags and dive deep under the waves so you don't get dumped.

Cool area to hang out in the park, have a BBQ, picnic or grab a bite to eat and drink at the kiosk/café, or enjoy the sun on the sand. AKA Glamarama. Be very careful swimming here though as the current is always very strong and always swim between the flags.

Great park for kicking a ball, having a picnic, having fish & chips on the beach or going for a swim in either the beach, rock pool (aka "The Bogey Hole") or in the baths. The beach front cafes are the best in the area for a great brekkie or brunch.
