If you, like us, had to excuse yourself from the table when you heard the news of North Bondi Italian closing, assumed the fetal position and sobbed quietly imagining life without arancini balls and crab spaghetti … cry no more! 

Let us introduce you to North Bondi Fish – a wonderland of all things aqua marine that has washed up at the old NBI site.

Masterminded by the powerhouse partnership of Matt Moran and Peter Sullivan (Chiswick, Aria), NBF is a vege-quarian’s dream: oysters, tuna ceviche, sashimi kingfish, fish fingers, calamari, prawns, crab, salmon, snapper, whole baked market fish and more. With only one red meat option on the menu – grain fed sirloin – even the carnivores amongst us will turn to the sea as part of the culinary adventure.

Pulling everyone from hairy-faced flannel wearing hipsters, to an older well-to-do crowd, go in thongs or don your Louboutins. Everything goes at this relaxed beachside bar and restaurant.

Sit back in the large open-air dining room with knockout views over North Bondi Beach and sip on a glass of Prosecco to get things started. Don’t waste too much time before requesting a round of Espresso Martinis – they’re not on the menu, but trust us, they’re good.

Wipe the tears and make a date with North Bondi Fish immediately. The best rebound you’ll ever have.
