    Share dessert plate
    Sylwia W.

    Came here for lunch during the week. We sat on the balcony and had a really nice view overlooking Bondi beach. We had the $39 Two Course Menu which was amazing. Beautiful salad for entree and yummy squid ink pasta with seafood. For dessert - specially coming with pregnant girlfriend - we had sharing plate of 4 deserts from the desert menu. It was a huge dessert - when we order the waitress called us 'brave' . But hey you cant say no to pregnant hungry woman! Overall we had a great meal. The food was really good and had a lots of flavor. The staff was super nice and polite just like great dining on the balcony of Bondi view should be.

    The last time I was here this place with pretty packed (well, not that packed, at least where I was, but there seemed to be an awful lot of activity on the second floor) but I really aren't a fan of this place - it just seemed to be a bit too classy for me. Okay, it's also at Bondi and I'm really not a fan of Bondi (though I probably should get around to checking out Bronte and Coogee - but that is another story). I've been here a couple of times at both times I never seemed to grab me all that much. Sure the staff were nice, and they had some decent beers on tap, but it's not really a place that I would gravate too.

    'Twas a chilly early evening to be strolling around Bondi Beach so my visiting friends and I went looking for somewhere warm with a view. Ravesis with it's balcony overlooking Bondi Beach and plastic sheeting looked just the ticket. We grabbed a bench and stools to the side (the front is reserved for Restaurant guests) and on request one of the staff kindly moved a heater to our table. A couple of drinks later and we couldn't really be bothered going elsewhere to eat so hit the restaurant. I normally have pizza in the bar because they're really good but my friends had more sophisticated tastes... Our waiter (brand new to the job- and country- and very sweet) brought us a menu and it turned out there's a special on Tuesdays- $35 for two courses. But no vegetarian option. I KNOW, in this day & age! I said, "There's no veg option?" and Cute Waiter said, "no, we don't have vegemite sorry". Haha. So my only option was a pumpkin risotto (yawn and the only veg dish on the menu anyway) for $35. I ordered fries.

    Located right on Bondi Beach, with breathtaking coastal views, Ravesi's Restaurant provides the perfect setting for those who value good food and wine. This is a beautiful bar. Dine inside and enjoy the relaxed and stylish atmosphere, or simply sit out on the terrace and observe all the interesting people walking by. Under the direction of acclaimed chef Darren Elmes, Ravesi's serves an innovative menu that mixes together an exciting variety of flavours from the Pacific with influence from Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean.I was as impressed with my pizza as I was with the view. They're also very helpful when it comes to choosing the perfect wine to accompany your dish. The restaurant is part of a hotel of the same name and is open for lunch and dinner only during specific times: Monday - Friday: Lunch 12pm - 2:30pm; Dinner from 6pm Saturday: Lunch 12pm - 4pm; Dinner from 6pm Sunday: Lunch 12pm - 3.30pm; Not open for dinner

    A trendy locale at Bondi Beach which is a hotel and conferencing facility in addition to enjoying some trendy time out with a few friends. A great hot spot where participants in the City to Surf get to unwind after their accomplishments over a beer, coffee or a light lunch. Or even if you have viewed the sculptures that will soon come to Bondi Beach shortly for another year. Its a beautiful hotel, and a great way to soak in the sun on a beautiful Saturday afternoon after walking along Bondi Beach and Tamarama. Their cafe lattes (the latte drinking side of the Eastern Suburbs) speak volumes for the skills of the barista's if an alcoholic drink is not for you. You have to be in the mood for it to really appreciate this establishment; otherwise just get some take away and eat it at the beach. For many Sydneysiders who do not live in Bondi; by default once they have been to Ravesi's: on their next Bondi Beach trip: their unconscious mind will just bring them in the direction towards this establishment for their lunch and maybe a snack. Their salads are just divine. Great customer service and beautiful amenities inside. Most of the experiences here have become a blur; not overly memorable except for the service and the great hospitality here. You feel right at home here.

    When a Saturday afternoon at Bondi beach rolls into a Saturday night, you'll probably find yourself at Ravesi's Hotel. Ravesi's is in the enviable position of being directly across the road from Bondi beach so boasts a spectacular setting. The downstairs pub/bar area is typically packed with a bevy of tanned beauties and upstairs the cocktail lounge/restaurant buzzing as the ocean breeze slips over the balcony. The addition of the wine bar makes Ravesi's a sort of choose your own night out adventure experience. Oh and of course the offer boutique accommodation but that is another story unto itself! More often than not Ravesi's pub/bar area is super busy on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and it will be your day if you manage to snare a couch or a chair so expect to be standing for a while. If you're keen to avoid the crowd Ravesi's is still magic mid-week with my tip being 'Gypsy Jazz and French Swing' at the wine bar on Thursday evenings.

    They had one order, a bottle of rose champagne yes they service the burt. We had not tried any food, instead headed to the iceberg terrace popup after the rose was corrected and enjoyed. The view was amazing.

    Great hotel located across the street from bondai beach. We were fortunate to stay in a room facing the water and the view was amazing!

    The bartenders on the 2nd floor are rude and unprofessional. They need to learn some manners.

    tl;dr Flooded with natural light and adorned with homely timbers and poetry chalked on the walls,…read more22 Grams is a comfy spot for ducking out of the bustling Belmore Road. Tracey and I were grabbing some shopping and just wanted a quick something. Having never noticed 22 Grams before (Tracey: "but I walk past here all the time!") the organic homely tables and golden flaky pastries on display beckoned us inside. With poetry written on the mauve walls and cushions and stools adorned the room, I ordered their soup of the day, a chicken, vege and barley soup, and their special bruschetta of smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers, lemon and dill. Both served with rye bread, the soup was a ready-to-eat temperature straight from the kitchen, light and easy to eat as expected from any broth based soup. The bruschetta was exactly is it should be: fresh and light and the bread soft enough to easily bite through but firm enough to hold everything on top. Tracey opted for a skinny latte and my two mouthfuls revealed a very smooth blend and milk of the perfect density. If I was heading to work where I can make myself one for free, I would have chosen to grab one as well. With Eric Clapton crooning in the background of the naturally lit cafe, it was just the break we needed before continuing our day.
