Went there for breakfast and it was amazing. Highly recommend the mixed seeds and oats porridge. Very generous portion size and it was delicious. My partner also had their bacon and egg roll which he enjoyed. We would both go here again. The staffs are very welcoming and efficient also.

We ordered the seafood platter and it was very delicious and had a good variety of seafood. The only thing I would change is the shoestring chips which were a bit out of place. Could do better by swapping out sweet potato chips/wedges as standard. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Overall good service staff and very attentive.

The seafood was good, fish and chips was yummy but weren’t anything amazing. The lobster roll was nice. The greek salad was good but a little on the expensive side. Also the paper under the seafood got so soggy and then the fish and chips were touching the table.

Seafood is the specialty at Fich, and we’re proud to serve thoughtfully sourced seafood to be enjoyed in our restaurant or taken home.

Fishmongers of Bondi Beach is a must-go for anyone visiting the area. The meals are plenty and flavorsome, to say the least. Their signature deep-fried kumera (sweet potato) and tempura batter would even impress Japanese chefs – it’s that good. If you’re looking for something else to try, their in-house crumbed calamari is also a dish not to be missed.

Key Differentiators:

• Simple, casual spot with fish-skeleton art on the walls
• Friendly service
• Interesting menu with good options

Seafood haven should be the name off the place. Everything we had was excellent from the regular fish and chips to calamari to the tacos. Plus service is quick as well. Parking is bit tricky in the area, but hey it’s Bondi what do you expect?

The Newport is the perfect place to enjoy Sydney’s sunny summer weather, with its outdoor seating and sprawling beer garden.
