This is definitely the best Thai in Bondi. Awesome food and awesome service. Great little spot, perfect for a cheap feed that will taste great. I recommend the lamb shanks.

Have been coming here for breakfast and lunch regularly for a while now and recently decided to try out their new dinner menu and cocktails, it was great!

The dinner is tapas style and like their breakfast and lunch menu, the food is simple, but the ingredients are very fresh and extremely tasty. Plus, as far as tapas goes, I think this was pretty good value for money. Big plates for not much cost.

The service is great and they even gave us a free cocktail voucher because they recognised we had been in there for breakfast a few times, so that was great.

If you are going to get a cocktail, I highly recommend the Katipo Iced Tea! It is not a Long Island Iced Tea, but something different altogether and definitely worth a try. Anyway, I will keep coming back for sure as this is my favourite cafe in bondi.

I ate here over the weekend with my girlfriend and was pleasantly surprised. From the outside you would think that the place was just another simple Potts Point cafe, but the food was soooo much better. I had the chicken schnitzel and it was probably the best chicken schnitzel I have ever had in my life. No joke.

The ambience is a bit stark and the waiters did seem to drift off a little but the food more than makes up for that! Plus the gentleman waiter who was looking after us was extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to bring my family back here for a feed next week. Great food, great prices and friendly service, what more could you want?

We went here for an afternoon coffee, and realised they served dinner. Went back that evening and it was just like a night in Paris. The linguine carbonara was amazing, and the portion size was huge. Recommend this very highly, and will be going back very soon!

The great thing about this place is the location. Right on beautiful Balmoral beach. The restaurant itself is also very good looking. The food, however, is over rated and over priced in my opinion. It is really no better than anywhere else, but the prices are certainly higher.

The thing that really annoyed me was when one member of our party (there were 5 of us) asked if they could have their prawns de-veined and Bathers refused. No come on, when you are at a nice restaurant and paying through the teeth to eat there, you should be accommodated for such a simple request. It is pathetic that the waiter had to go ask the kitchen staff and then come out saying that the kitchen staff refuses to de-vein the prawns.

I know this place gets great reviews, and people rave about it, but I just don't get it. I went with a group from work, and while they all seemed to enjoy the food, I found my meat was tough and chewy. The entree was nothing special either and the dessert seemed the same as anything I could get from the store.

I just really can't understand why everything thinks the place is so good, especially when it costs so much money. There are definitely so many better alternatives for the same price but maybe it is all just me?

This place is great as a local Italian eatery. It is exactly what you would expect for the prices you pay. The food portions are huge, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and food is tasty and of good quality. The staff are friendly and efficient, although some do struggle with English, which can be a bit frustrating when you are trying to make a special request.

Other than that, this is a great place to go if you just want your local Italian.
Definitely recommended.

I have had a very disappointing experience here also. I went for a birthday and found that they crammed us all in to a table that was clearly to small.

I have been to many brazilian BBQ's in the past (including actually in Brazil) so I thought I would love the food. I hated it! It was the most unauthentic Brazilian BBQ I have ever seen. Plus the portions are tiny. The waiter came around and would serve everyone one slice of meet and when I asked for another slice she said she had to give the remaining slices to another table!

The drinks are way over prices and the staff are rude. There are much better places around the cross for the same value. Try other pizza bar, great food, great staff and great value. To top the whole night off, my girl friend got some kind of weird reaction after eating the haloumi. I ended up having to take her somewhere else! I won't be going back.
