Eden Bondi

Overview

With its breezy, modern fitout and completely vegan offering, Eden Bondi proves a fitting addition to area's collection of culinary hot-spots. The work of Bondi locals Simon Hill and Tanya Smart, the 80-seater is heroing food and cocktails that are both healthy and animal product-free.

Across a lush, tropical-inspired restaurant space and fairy light-lit courtyard garden, Eden's dishing up a lively dinner menu. Without an animal product in sight, the offering features veggie-packed hero dishes, alongside vegan reworkings of some of your favourite snacks. Dinner time might see you matching an organic Aussie wine with some popcorn cauliflower bites, vivid green sliders with pickled jalapeño and souvlaki tacos.

You'll spy a mushroom-based take on the classic ragu, a range of colourful loaded bowls and plant-based pizzas like the Green Goddess with kale pesto, baby spinach, smoked tofu and cherry tomatoes. Eden Bondi caters well for allergies too, with a stack of options that are free of nuts, gluten, onion and garlic.

You can wash it all down with a smoothie or pressed juice, though there's plenty more fun to be had with the signature cocktails list. All-vegan sips like the gin and raspberry Cotton Candy Sour, and the Appletini with vodka, apple liqueur and lemon juice are sure to hit the spot after a long day at the beach.
