Been twice now. Superb food, great location especially on a sunny day and the service was excellent (catered for our family of 9 inclusive of 1 picky/fussy grandmother). If you're after fine dining go to icebergs, but if you're after large portions of great food, friendly service and value for money I recommend this place.
Great recommendations from the staff and delicious food! Cuttlefish w/ squid ink risotto is to die for!
Food was amazing. Had prawns, white fish, sushimi, steak, chips, and Little Creatures pale ale. Service was lovely. The view was stunning. Loved this place and highly recommend.
We didn't have a reservation however the great staff managed to find us a couple of stools with a great view. Had an amazing night, the food is exceptional.
I've been waiting a long to go there. The food is amazing!!! So loved the fish curry to die for. We were very luck to be seated in the front section for a busy Easter Friday. Very thankful. Will be back❤️❤️❤️
I found food was great and the staff very polite and helpfull when taken our meal orders drinks would highly recomend nbf to my friends will be back
Great location, friendly and efficient staff. Probably the best Fish and Chips I have ever had. Always helps when the sun is out and the beach and sea are crowded. Not for me but lovely to see people having fun. If in doubt book a table and go.
Thankyou Sam and team for making my friends hens lunch amazing! Everything was on point and the staff were delightful! Thankyou for having us! X
Ok this place is a bit pricey BUT there are reasons why. Amazing service, top knot food. You want to get everything seafood here! It’s on the water and the view is unbeatable. Chilli margaritas, yes! Vegetarian risotto, yes yes!
Group of four dined on Sunday night ordered king fish ceviche, tuna tare tare, fish taco, mussels and fish head. Ceviche was nice slightly creamy served on coconut which was a nice touch. Betal leaf went well with tuna sashimi salad. I can't say i liked tuna taco tho; serving size was generous but it was very boring - it felt like it had too much batter and not enough flavours. I loved mussel dish it was delightfully fragrant and green curry base was delectable. Potion size was generous enough to share. Ordered 2 bottles of white wines recommended by a waiter they were pretty great too. All in all great dinner nice service and price is reasonable.
Delicious fresh seafood cooked to perfection and amazing cocktails to follow. Perfect location for a weekend lunch or dinner with Bondi Beach in the background! Definitely on the pricier side but still a great spot, perfect for date nights!
A lunch date with my wife. We were seated on a table along the wall with sweet views to the ocean. Service was polite and we ordered fish curry and a grilled fillet of mulloway in teriyaki sauce we also had a side of hot chips. After a glass of riesling our food was laid out. Looked good and tasted fine. Fish curry was yum, mulloway was a nice dish and well executed. The hot chips are good. Service was fine, decor was comfortable and we felt at ease while here. Sharing the fruit meringue for dessert was a good way to finish.
First time to Bondi and the scenery definitely does not disappoint! We thought we would start down the north end first and work our way back. We were starving at this point and stumbled across North Bondi Fish n figured why not give it a go. We got a table pretty quickly and ordered. We got the fish tacos, soft shell crab slider, chips and tuna tataki. Everything was delicious and so fresh! It totally hit the spot! Only thing was it was a tad pricey for what we ordered. Place was great though. Staff were friendly and food was great!

I wanted to take some friends from Texas, USA to a restaurant overlooking Bondi Beach that was upscale yet laid-back (not too formal) and reasonably priced; North Bondi Fish (NBF) seemed like the type place I was looking for. I checked out many images for NBF on Google images and it looked great and the menu seemed OK as did the drinks list. I was slightly put-off by some recent negative reviews I read but I went ahead a made a reservation for lunch. After a pre-lunch drink at Iceberg's, I walked with my friends along the beach promenade to NBF and I'm very happy to say that my friends and I weren't disappointed; the view of the beach from the restaurant was beautiful, the service was perfect, the food was delicious and eight share plates of dishes made with scallops, tuna, kingfish (ceviche) and sydney rock oysters between the 3 of us with a few beers and a bottle of good wine cost us about $300; the whole experience was worth every dollar we spent. My friends came away raving about it and I'm very grateful for the great impression NBF left on both myself and my overseas guests.
Mixed reviews, it seems, but I enjoyed everything but the price. Tasty oysters, soft shell crab slider and prawns, all came out great but anything under $40 will be snack size. The interior is very nice and we got the long table looking directly out to the beach.
Was always skeptical about this place but it seriously delivered the goods. Had the banquet with the snapper, steak, muscles and sashimi. All were ridic
Actually couldn't fault anything... surprised myself
Tucked at the top of Bondi Beach, this fancy beach shack has a great buzz and serves some of the best looking seafood around. Try and jag a table out on the deck (sun permitting) where you have full view of the beach and people swimming in August. My Melburnian mind is blown.
Good food, nice atmosphere but slow service. We waited a while to be served, they forgot our entre but all in all food was delicious and the atmosphere was great.

When you dream about holiday, cocktails, beach and the perfect spot to chill close to the sea, I bet once in your life, at least, you tought about a place that looks exactly like this, I did for sure and everytime I come here with my boyfriend and friends we have such a great time. Still wanna come for a proper dinner maybe over winter and certainly will do.
Dinner update: we finally made it, we had dinner in North Bondi Fish! The menu is not that pricy considering the location and dishes were ok. I personally didn't like the octopus because taste little smoky to me but that's me, my boyfriend liked it. The 1kg mussels was very nice, as italians we do love to cook "pepata di cozze" and we thought that this was an intresting variation. Prawns were ok maybe less burned would have been perfect and broccolini were lovey! I would consider it a very nice experience if I didn't have such an high set of expectations coming here, I found the service an up and down of distraction and too much attention, something wasn't flowing. Little corrections would make this place a real pearl in bondi.
Trendy beachside eatery in North Bondi looking over Bondi Beach. The interiors, friendly staff, great looking drinks menu and the food menu which all about the seafood - will have you happily sitting on the deck all afternoon. We ordered Charcoal Roasted Prawns, Fish Tacos, Baby Octopus and kingfish ceviche. Then for desert passion fruit and mango sundae which is basically Summer in a cup and a few popsicles - the espresso martini is everything.

I really like this place, food was fantastic, location is brilliant only down side is that the background music is just way to loud.
Pricing on the food is a little steep also for what you get which is a shame, but overall is probably still return
If it wasn't for the loud over bearing music I probably would've scored it a 4
We took the taco's it was very good. And the chips were perfect. After then we took the whole snapper ! The fish was very good even though i had to prepare it by my self.. So i was a bit desapointed and nothing came with it .
Such a nice view and vibe for a date night or for celebrations. Loved their seafood although the portion was small. Make sure you book a table, as they are quite full, especially on weekends. It was a great experience!
I've had some great days and some great nights here. I've also had some great day nights here. Amazing place for drinks and bar food. The dinning experience is not as good as it was when it opened. The atmosphere and location are the highlights of this venue. Try the snow crab sliders and the fish tacos. Expect to pay big, but who cares when your looking at that view...
I came here on Saturday night for my partner's birthday and was left extremely happy and satisfied! We had a table out on the balcony with a magnificent sunset view of Bondi beach.
The service was excellent- with super attentive waiters and the food and drinks certainly met my expectations. The seafood menu is fun and simple and the drinks menu is YUM! I wanted to try every cocktail there was!
Cant wait to come back! It's the perfect place for drinks and tasty food with a relaxed beachy vibe.
Beautiful restaurant by the sea, bustling with people on a Saturday afternoon. The food they serve are non pretentious, using quality and fresh ingredients, perfectly put together for a very refreshing experience! Would love to try their Popsicles on my next visit, especially on a hot summer day.
We had a really good dinner here a few nights ago. The fish tacos and the crab sliders were our favorite dishes we had, and I would recommend those over the lobster roll. We also had the ocean trout from the raw section which was excellent.
The girlfriends and I chose this venue for a long overdue catch up. We ordered cocktails at the bar while we waited for a table. I ordered the Crab Linguine which had a hint of chilli and lime and it was delicious! Highly recommend this place for a lazy lunch or dinner when your not in a rush as when it's busy service can be slow.
The fish tacos, the beach views and the cocktails are just a few reasons to come here! Perfect on a hot summers day and great for big groups.
North Bondi Fish, located at the old North Bondi Italian site, brings a laidback yet upmarket vibe to fish and chips. Situated right on the beach, breathtaking views of the beach tantalise as you feast at celebrity chef Matt Moran’s seafood eatery.
Food was great , service fantastic.
Sliders and tacos best in Sydney
Sashimi excellent
Apple tartlet was perfection.
Wish I had something like this locally in my suburb
Located a few short steps from the sand and surf, North Bondi Fish is Bondi at its best. The restaurant is a relaxed space, which personifies beach side chic and is the perfect spot for lunch, dinner and everything in between.
Really don't understand the bad reviews about this place, the only thing I would say is it is overpriced but other than that very nice. We ordered an entree each (4) and shared these. They were quite sizeable and perfect for sharing. All very good. I had the crab linguine which was lovely, other dishes on the table were fish and chips, prawns (main) and confit salmon, all were enjoyed. Great place for a Sunday long lunch.
So I recently visited the brand new Matt Moran venue North Bondi Fish. Anyone who knows their food or is a self-proclaimed ‘foodie’ like me, will definitely have heard of celebrity chef Moran who started Aria in Circular Quay, boasting both breathtaking food and views. Two years ago he opened up a more casual yet just as trendy and delicious eatery, Chiswick in Woollahra, which was THE place to be upon first opening, continually booked out and visited by the who’s who of Sydney. Now he has seized the opportunity presented by the site of where Maurice Terzini’s North Bondi Italian used to live, and smartly created a seafood joint (how appropriate!) on the beach. The decor boasts a shabby chic look, with wooden chairs, huge crafty paintings of crabs and fish on brown paper straight off the easel, and big lantern-type lamps that instantly take me back to summers at my beach house where we had exactly the same lights! My first visit was on a Thursday night a few weeks ago with a frie
We had a great lunch experience today sitting on the stools facing the ocean. Reception and service were spot on for a casual lunch by the best city beach in the world. Much improved from the Italian, which, admittedly, set a pretty low bar. The revised interior is much more suitable to a restaurant by the sea.

A girls night was in store with the other marshmallows and one of the marshmallows recommended North Bondi Fish.
I don’t go to many Bondi restaurants so I was excited to see what the menu was and hopped online to see decide what I wanted to have before we arrived. Yes, I get excited like that. Weeeeeee!!! There was a lot of good food on the menu so I decided to just wing it when I got there.
The atmosphere is really relaxed and is really romantic at night as the candles on the table become the lighting source. If you are here for a lunch or an early dinner, the view would be amazing overlooking the beach.
And to the food! I was actually craving oysters that day so it made sense to order Sydney Rock Oyster with Lemon and a Pacific Oyster with Grapefruit, Mint and Chilli Dressing. Both were so fresh and creamy. Creamy oysters are DA BOMB (yes, I just said that. Don’t judge. Haha.) I tried one of my marshmallows friends’ entrees which was the salt and pepper calamari. The calamari was fresh, the batter was crispy and crunchy. One of the nicest salt and pepper calamari’s I’ve tasted.
For mains, I ordered the Petuna Ocean Trout with eggplant, coriander and lime. The trout was cooked perfectly and the skin was crisp and crunchy, just how I like it. To be honest, I wish there was more eggplant. Overall, I would definitely order it again. We also ordered chips for the table but they were a bit of a let down. They were a little bit soggy and didn’t have enough crunch for my liking.
North Bondi Fish is a nice restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely visit again and try more the food on the menu. I really want to try one of their house made soda’s next time as well. They sounded really nice.

Aria’s Matt Moran and Peter Sullivan have brought the good old-fashioned seaside feel back to the restaurant, with a fresh and modern menu. Start with a Beachside Fizz ($16), a very fancy vodka soda with almond syrup; or if you want to feel like a tourist, indulge in the North Bondi Colada ($16), a fun and filling cocktail. Stick to the theme and order the Fish and Chips ($29) , which would make the Motherland envious - and without swimming in grease either
After several return visits to NBF, I can confirm that this is a very good casual lunch by Bondi and the service is leaps and bounds ahead of the old NBI. Very friendly and happy staff, not too cool for school. It seems that the pretentiousness has been reversed with any negative comments here.
Great food, unbeatable location to watch the sun set. A beach-side table is hard to beat for a gorgeous sunset view. We had a sampling to many small seafood selections and all were terrific, especially the fresh oysters. Service was excellent!
Great for a relaxing dinner. Surprised to see so many negative reviews. I had a good experience. Venue had a great fit out, service was friendly, and the food was enjoyable. Didn't blow me away by any means but would definitely go back. Only negative was having to listen to some of the other diners be so rude to the wait staff! Completely unnecessary. Miserable gits!
Fantastic. I can't understand the negative reviews for this restaurant. I've been here a few times now with various groups and no one has ever been disappointed. The food, service, atmosphere, cost and of course the location are all spot on. I highly recommed it.
Professional but un-memorable. Like Chiswick, this place is disappointing given that Matt Moran is behind it. They took over a great space from North Bondi Italian and gave it the laziest of refits (a lick of paint and hung some pots on the wall). The menu is fine, fish themed and slightly boring. Food was well executed. Cheap wine. Service, okay. Overall a competent but not memorable experience.
Have been twice now. Excellent, friendly service and food excellent. Great for families. Really cater for kids and you can't beat the view. Will be a regular now on our roster.

Nice surprise!. We have been twice now for dinner, both times in March. The first time I was expecting it to be bad after seeing the rating on Urbanspoon and some of the reviews but was wiling to have a go. I'm a tough critic and I have to say that I just cannot understand why it's sitting at 52% and not about 90%.
Both times we were there, for two birthday dinners, all dishes were exceptional. There is no question that the use of fresh ingredients throughout makes for a flavour sensation. The crab linguine to the BBQ prawns. Even the sorbet dessert was brilliant (sorbet made on site). They even threw in a candle and a happy birthday chunk of chocolate. Nice.
While the service is your typical laid back Australian-Bondi style (don't expect a fine dining NYC experience), we found the waitresses and one waiter very friendly and on the ball. The waitress recognised us the second time and made a point of having a brief chat.
For the two of us the bill was about $100. For that we split a large entree, had two mains, wine and dessert. Not bad. And a view right down Bondi Beach. Just be aware that there are mosquitoes buzzing around, especially at dusk out on the deck. Bring repellant if your legs are out. Just go.
Good fun! Slightly put off by the bags of McCain frozen chips slung on the pass every few minutes ($8 a bowl). However, the ceviche and octopus were delicious. Prawn roll nothing special. Cocktail were lovely. Service was great.
Love the new decor. Food and service both relaxed and very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Wine list amazing. Will be back.
Great fresh seafood (as you would expect) - grilled prawns, oysters, tuna ceviche and calamari were standouts. rest was ok.
overall it was a good meal and ok service. I understand it's a beach restaurant but PLEASE something needs to be done about how hot it is in the restaurant- a fan would be fine. it was UNBEARABLE. absolute sweatbox on a hot day.
I can't wait to come back, and show this place to my mates! It is absolutely outstanding! Cooled down with a Hendricks and cucumber and waited approx 40 minutes for a table. Pretty grand for opening days! This place is Bondi Beach front, chic, and fun with a full time holiday atmosphere. It is fresh, and busy. Lots happening. Light menu, plenty to share, and the perfect social spot. Sensationally fresh, I ate the best Tuna Nicoise Salad I've had in my life.
Wonderful food, setting and service. What more could one want
A beautiful restaurant where the view is part of the beauty. Be sure to dive into their cocktail menu while you're here!
Food portions are good size and
very tasty. Had a set menu, but have come back since for the fish tacos which were great. But all food was delicious.
Fish curry is a winner!
Just wanted a nice spot for some oysters on a Sunday afternoon, what an incredible spot and great vibe, had a live DJ and singer and was able to get a seat. Service for your first order taking is excellent and great but once you've made one order (food + 1 drink) it's hard to get their attention again. But the oysters and vinaigrette were great and atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon on one of the best beaches in Sydney, can't beat it
Amazing location, a great view of the beach and the decor inside is really nice. The food was okay overall. The snacks were all tasty with good portion sizes to share amongst three people, definitely order a few of the snack options. The tiger prawns and the mahi mahi were a bit of a let down, especially considering the price of those dishes - definitely expected more flavour here and for the fish to not be slightly over cooked. Service was great, will be back to try the rest of the snack options!
Great dining experience, food was awesome, especially all things seafood. Sushmi and oysters were very fresh. Do yourself a favour and get the fish tacos, bloody amazing. Service was friendly and efficient and it wasn't crazy expensive... Will definitely be going back.
Awesome seafood restaurant. Whilst a bit exxy it was all quite worth it. Food portions are good size and very tasty. Had the Tacos, fish and chips and octopus. Although oysters were a stand out! Didn't enjoy the watermelon dessert however.
A local favorite that we have been to countless times. Would always recommend this venue, great food, amazing location and always a good cocktail menu.
