About Brown Sugar

Tucked away on Curlewis Street, this intimate Bondi bistro serves up soulful European classics away from Campbell Parade's beachside fray. Tables fill for the signature fish pie and squid ink pasta, with diners bringing their own special vintage from home thanks to an easy BYO policy. Come Sunday, the room shifts into high gear for roast beef flanked by roasties, mash, and bubbling cauliflower cheese gratin.

  • Sunday roast ritual: Beef with roasties, creamy mash, rich gravy, and cauliflower cheese gratin.
  • Freshly baked fish pie: A signature house comfort, baked to order or reserved ahead.
  • BYO wine friendly: Guests can bring a special bottle of wine to pair with dinner.

    Set on Curlewis Street away from Campbell Parade, the dining room provides a calm European bistro setting that avoids beachside crowding.

    It wasn’t so busy because it’s not located along the beach. I had a great time!
