Sean's

Right on Campbell Parade in North Bondi, this salt-sprayed dining room turns seasonal produce into a legendary three-course set menu. The room is compact and bohemian—think dinky tables, old feather cushions, and sweeping views of the Pacific. Meals start with warm house-baked bread and complimentary freshly shucked oysters, setting an easygoing, hospitable pace before the blackboard choices roll in. Longtime regulars swear by the roast chook, though the fresh fish and daily desserts hold their own. BYO wine is welcome with a modest corkage fee. Snag a table by the window during lunch—diners regularly clock passing whales just as the entrees land.
