Harrys Bondi - Bondi Beach, Sydney

Harry’s, located in North Bondi near iconic Bondi Beach, has evolved from a humble hole-in-the-wall cafe into a beloved community icon since 1997. With a spacious interior and ample outdoor seating, it’s a family-friendly venue catering to large groups. Their menu focuses on using nutritious local produce and conventional ingredients to create approachable and fresh versions of classic brunch dishes.

In 2015, Harry’s Espresso transformed into Harry’s Bar & Dining when owners Harry Lambropoulos and Chris Karvelas acquired the adjacent laundromat. They aimed to create a family-friendly space with options for those seeking sugar-, gluten-, and dairy-free choices.

The menu, crafted by Chef Bryan O’Callaghan, features dishes like cider-cured ocean trout with coddled eggs, blueberry and ricotta hotcakes, and quinoa and feta fritters on fattoush salad. Lunch options include burgers and salads. Harry’s also offers a variety of beverages, including kombucha, house-made ginger beer, fresh smoothies, and coffee made using cold-drip or V60 filter methods.

Their striking Synesso espresso machine and stylish interior, designed by Tina Cha at Guru Projects, make Harry’s a popular destination. The cafe’s expansion into an ethical kiosk and bar has been well-received by its loyal following, with both coffee and brunch options garnering praise.
