I feel charmed to have found such a darling little bar in the backstreets of Bondi Beach. Having…read morestrong associations between Bondi and douche-bageries such as Ravesis, this tiny little establishment helped instill some good in my damaged perspective. I stopped into Speakeasy around 5:30 on a Thursday afternoon and found the place empty. With velvet covered couches, dark wooden desks, and oldtime decor including a vase of peacock feathers and a rotary phone, I was filled with instant ease. That and the ocean breeze blew in and out so freely you'd think you were on Campbell Parade (minus the crowds). I ordered a glass of their first listed Pinot Noir, Six Foot Six. The menu described the wine as "light and a little fruity." I won't beg to differ. It was drinkable to the point of slurpable and went down effortlessly for a red on a warm afternoon. I ordered a dish of mixed olives to accompany which was a good choice. As the late afternoon grew later, the place filled up a bit, but the energy stayed easy and carefree. The waitress might have played a part in this as well. She breezed around with great comfort, occasionally sitting with the guests and making informed wine recommendations. Speakeasy is definitely my kind of place. And I'm so glad it's in Bondi Beach because I needed my narrow-minded perspective to be expanded. And I can now speak easy, because expanded it has been.

It's almost hidden which is why I like it. The interiors are dark and if there was one word to describe it, it would be '"cosy". They have a wonderful wine collection and yummy foods to share. Small dishes include Roast beetroot and yoghurt dip w bread $7.5 and Zucchini, w feta + mint $9.50. Larger tapas range in price from $12 - $20. I'd recommend their house cured salmon and grilled halloumi...the dishes are slighly small, so I suggest ordering a little bit more.... What is also another fabulous discovery about SpeakEasy are their breakfasts. I went there with a friend and he couldn't stop thanking me for the introduction. We both ordered the Barcelona eggs - shallow baked w house cured salmon, roast potato, ricotta, capers, sp. onion, spinach + Toast $15. A great place to go with friend.

Enter Chapter One Coffee & Wine Room. Small, but perfectly formed (just how I like them. Wait, what?) Up on the sunny side of the south Bondi hill. Cosy. Exposed brick. Be great for a 21st. Or a 70th. Or a Bar Mitzvah. Dude whipped me up a latte juiced up with two sugars and a shot of will-to-live. I slumped on a milk crate (wee, I'm a hipster, look at me!) on the pavement outside and surveyed the sprawl of Bondi spread out below me, and I saw that it was Good (that's a reasonably obscure Genesis reference.Sometimes you just feel a bit Biblical, y'know?) In conclusion: good coffee, bordering on great coffee. Will try the titular wine next time around when I'm not feeling so fragile.

The food here is without a doubt exquisite, boasting seasonal menus with local produce, great wine pairing and excellent customer service! The best seasonal menu that I dined in for was the truffle season, some of the dishes I particularly enjoyed are the truffle macaroni carbonara and the truffle risotto. Taste wise bold flavours with such a classic dish such as carbonara I wasn't sure how they'd match up however pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed the treacle tart for dessert and a few appetizers in between!

Delicious burger, friendly service, great location!!…read more I was lucky that I was staying literally footsteps away and after a long overnight flight from Tokyo, this was the perfect first meal! The burger was hearty yet delicate. The bun perfectly toasted, the meat was juicy and cooked perfectly medium rare. It was packed with flavor and each ingredient played an awesome role in making it easily one of the top 10 best burger I've had. The staff is really nice and accommodating too and the space/decor very comfortable. There is a bunch more on their menu that looks great. Their BLT is huge. I want to return again this second. This place rocks!
