Porch and Parlour - Bondi Beach, Sydney

Porch & Parlour began in 2010 as a homey gathering spot in Bondi, combining good food, coffee, art, music, and a love for the community. Initially, it was a place for friends to enjoy wine, guitars, and artistic creations. Over time, it evolved into a popular venue, maintaining its local charm despite gaining national and international recognition.

In 2012, Porch and Parlour relocated closer to the beach, offering a Mediterranean-inspired interior with a beachy vibe. They serve food all day, including breakfast with dishes like green pea pancakes and hash browns, followed by a lunch menu featuring salads, burgers, and sandwiches. In the evening, they offer a share-style menu with options like ceviche, gnocchi, and lamb shoulder.

Porch and Parlour is known for its wine selection, primarily Australian bottles, complemented by a few international choices. The cafe also serves coffee, juices, and cocktails. In recent years, they have expanded their offerings to include wine and cocktails with cheese, snacks, and bar food on weekends.

The cafe’s atmosphere is described as rustic yet trendy, with a coastal feel. It’s a popular spot, especially on weekends, where crowds gather for its beautiful beachside location, delicious food, and inviting ambiance. Despite the wait times, it remains a beloved local hangout in Bondi Beach.
