Now Open: The Devon Cafe Crew Have Hit Bondi Junction with a New Japanese Rice Bowl Joint
The beachy 'burb has just scored another reason to spend your sunshine-filled days near its sandy shores with this Japanese newcomer.
Bondi is well and truly picking up its game. From new outpots of Masala Theory and Belles Hot Chicken to red-hot newbies like Zama, Makaveli and Easy Tiger, as well as Ksubi's exclusive beach house pop-up, the suburb is truly delivering on its status as the it-suburb of the warmer months.
Now, entering the fray is the Devon Cafe crew who have landed in Bondi Junction with DOPA, a Japanese-focused newcomer starring a simple, fresh rice dish curated exclusively for the health-conscious Bondi local: the donburi.
This retro-themed casual eatery reimagines the staple rice bowls from Japan with a focus on sustainable production and high quality ingredients, with the seventh DOPA to grace the suburbs of Sydney.
Opt for the donburi and you'll be met with 20 variations featuring teriyaki chicken, wagyu beef tongue or a Bondi-exclusive, the vegan-friendly 'Bondi don' starring a plant-based patty.
For dessert, take your pick from the selection including the mochi daifuku (ranging from matcha to fruity flavours like strawberry) and a slice of DOPA's original cheesecake.
Plus, you can wash your meal down with DOPA's in-house-brewed iced teas with a choice between raspberry, lychee and yuzu — perfect for a sweltering summer day.
You'll find DOPA Bondi inside Bondi Junction's Westfield at 500 Oxford Street, open from 11am to 5pm Sunday to Wednesday, 11am to 8pm on Thursday or 11am to 6pm on Saturday.
