Our dinner party of 3 tried out this bistro located in Potts point on Macleay Street in Sydney. It…read moreis a place to go for a nice dinner with friends or a date - not really a place to dine with children. Our waitress was excellent. She helped us select some of our dishes. All the food was pretty good. She mentioned that the portions were big to share, so that's what we did. The portions were good, but coming from Hawaii, our portions are usually huge. We did leave content, but not full - It is a French restaurant, and they usually don't overeat like we do lol.

I got an omelette made with a local fish, that had the consistency of lobster. It was light and had great flavor, even had caviar eggs on top. I also got a mixed greens salad that had a lovely vinegarette type dressing on it. My husband got a pork cutlet dish with a medley of unique fruits and veggies as a side. We splurged and got a creme caramel to share for dessert. It was like a light flan, not overly sweet. We enjoyed our evening dining experience. The only drawback was that it got pretty noisy as the tables filled up.

First impression was that the view was perfect. You can see the Sydeny Opera house to the Bridge. Food wise, was awesome. I ordered a potato onion tart with a side of salad and salmon ($19). It was the perfect size for a person. Next we decided to stay for a while to have afternoon tea. Best part was FREE WIFI! I ordered a hot chocolate and it was OMG. The best hot chocolate I've had since I flew to Australia and I've tried a lot. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and the chocolate bits just melted in my mouth smoothly. Highly recommending it to give it a go!

Service is top notch and would highly recommend dining g outside, in fact, don't know if there is dining inside. Hopefully you will not have a 10 story cruise ship blocking your view lime we did, but who cares when you are on holiday and discovering Sydney Australia. Since Graze is part of the Contemporary Art Museum, if you are an art lover, give it ago

There was a bit of a wait on the weekend, so we got some nice photos of the jacaranda while waiting. On the foods, the presentation was really nice. We got the Mushroom Burrata, and the Hash Brown dishes. My HashBrown had smoked salmon, poached eggs, avocado on top, and they tasted just like how they looked. My friend's Mushrooms were really good with a little sear taste. Matcha was below average though.

I just happened to be walking by with colleagues and made the executive decision to stop in after looking at the menu for .5 seconds. That's all it takes!!!

The service was killer and I wish I could visit again and again and again.

Hot spot BYO restaurant in Bondi. REPEAT…read more Hot spot BYO restaurant in Bondi. Why are you reading on? That tells you pretty much everything you need to know and if you know Bondi you know how rare a beast this is. Oh okay, here's some more: this is the latest Eastern subbsies place-to-be and it's already teeming with the young, the pretty, the probably-famous-but-I'm-not-up-to-date-with-my-celebrities-so-I-can't-be-sure types with shiny hair and white smiles. Chef Ian Oaks holds court in a warm, lively, buzzing restaurant on the corner where La Macelleria used to be, it's a great space and the food is even greaterer, provided that's a word. I'm not sure about that, either, but it feels right so I'm running with it. The menu is seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable. The standout dish for me was the entree of Raw fish, celery hearts, green chili, and coriander. I could have eaten it all night, the cubes of fish were firm and flavoursome, and the salsa had a happy kick that I felt against my tonsils. Tea-smoked ocean trout, celeriac, sorrel and liquorice was also good, although I don't know what sorrel is and was too self-conscious to ask in case it's something I should really have known. The place was so loud the waiter thought I said "duck" when I said "cod" - no hard feelings, it really was pumping that night - but brought a dish of Roast pumpkin, streaky bacon and brussels sprouts as a make-good from the kitchen, which was as delicious as it was kind. And, yeah. BYO. I mean. In Bondi? That's just so great. I wish more places did it but they probably won't because Bondi.

There is a seating area right next to this play area which is the perfect spot to sit you have toddlers who you need to keep a close eye on (you do have to go down a couple of steps to this seating area). At lunch time the menu does start to verge in the expensive side for a cafe, but then you do have to remember the setting you are in! You can have everything from soup of the day for $10.00 to Moroccan Spiced Lamb Cutlets on a sweet potato rosti with broccolini & sweet tomato chutney for $30.00. When I go back I will definitely be trying out the Salt & Chilli Squid with a rocket, apple, orange & pistachio salad (e $12.50/m $18.50). And something I haven't mentioned yet, is that they offer full table service at the Fig Coffee House, so you don't have to leave your kids whilst you go inside and order.
