About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for scenic views
Ikaria is a Greek Island which derives its name from Icarus, who is believed to have fallen into the sea after he tried to fly to the sun with wax wings. One of the five Blue Zones in the world, Ikaria is a natural idyll in the Aegean Sea where people are said to live the longest. It is a nature lover's paradise surrounded by crystal blue water along the coast. The Ikarian way of life has inspired us to bring the lifestyle and longevity to the iconic Bondi Beach. With unobstructed ocean views, Ikaria Bondi brings people together to create a bond between community and friends through Mediterranean Mezes and delicious cocktails.

    Ikaria is a lovely restaurant with a nice vibe! The food is delicious and came in a timely manner. The menu isn’t very vast but they have some great options for sharing and something for most people including vegetarian, vegan and GF. My only criticism is that we felt that we were being rushed to order, eat and pay - we visited on a Friday night so understand it was busy but we felt that we didn’t get a chance to look at the menu before a waitress was asking us what we wanted to order and were just presented with the card machine after our table was cleared without a chance to digest our food. Overall a lovely restaurant looking out onto Bond beach.

    Incredible service. We got the banquet 1 and the food was simply delicious. It’s was the perfect option. Had a taste of everything. The staff are exceptional and extremely attentive. Always switched on, topping up water clearing empty plates etc. super friendly. I can’t wait to come back again.

    Nice location and ambience, with tasty food and cocktails. Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. We booked the Ikarian banquet, which started well, but after the first few dishes we were largely ignored for around 40 minutes. Extra bread was delivered to the wrong table, and when we asked for the bill we realised not all banquet dishes had been served. Raising this with staff was met with a dismissive attitude. A meal that started nicely ended in disappointment, especially given the cost of the banquet and additional spend.

FAQs

Yes, Ikaria is a popular choice for date night thanks to its beachfront views, warm lighting and attentive service. Guests praise the romantic atmosphere, stylish interior and ocean-facing window seats; cocktails and shareable Mediterranean meze make it easy to linger. Note that evenings can get lively, so for a quieter table request an early seating or a window spot when you book.

Portions are designed for sharing, think small plates and meze. Many guests recommend ordering a few dips, mezedes and a larger meat or fish to share; banquet/’Feed Me’ options deliver plentiful variety. Feedback is mixed on price versus portion size (some find the feast generous, others note smaller plated portions for a-la-carte items), so groups often opt for multiple shared dishes to get the best value.

Yes, Ikaria serves a full range of alcoholic drinks. Guests frequently mention excellent cocktails (including a signature gin martini), wines by the glass and creative mixed drinks. Cocktails are a highlight for many visitors, so expect a thoughtful drinks list alongside the Mediterranean menu.

Several dishes get consistent praise: oven-baked lamb shoulder, taramosalata, saganaki and muhammara are frequent standouts, plus tuna/kingfish crudo and the hummus. Guests also rave about the banquet/’Mediterranean Feast’ which showcases many favourites, it’s a great way to sample the highlights.

Ikaria’s listed hours are: Mon–Thu 5:00 pm–12:00 am; Fri–Sat 12:00 pm–12:00 am; Sun 12:00 pm–10:00 pm. If you’re planning a special seating (early dinner, sunset spot or large group) it’s a good idea to call ahead and confirm availability.

Family-friendly, yes. Guests often celebrate birthdays and bring families; many praise the welcoming staff and ability to accommodate groups. The restaurant accepts large parties and has hosted private-style back-room bookings for celebrations. Accessibility details (ramps, toilets for mobility needs) aren’t specified in available information, so call ahead if you require wheelchair access or specific accommodations.

Early evenings or weekday dinners are best for a quieter experience; several guests recommend early seating for sunset views and easier conversation. Weekends (especially Fri–Sat) and peak lunch/dinner times can be busy and louder, so book ahead or ask for a window table if you want a view and a calmer vibe.

Ikaria offers a mix of seating: window seats with ocean views, bar seating and tables throughout the dining room. Guests have also reported being seated in a private/back room for larger bookings, so the venue can accommodate groups. If you have a seating preference (window, bar or private area), request it when booking to increase your chances of securing it.

Warm, stylish and Mediterranean, guests frequently describe gorgeous interiors, a relaxed seaside vibe and attentive service. Music is generally low-key so conversation is easy, though the room can get lively and noisy during busy service or large bookings. Overall it’s praised as a beautiful, convivial spot ideal for date nights and group dinners.

Smart casual. The owner-provided description lists a smart casual dress code, which fits the restaurant’s stylish yet relaxed Mediterranean vibe, think neat, comfortable attire suitable for a seaside date or dinner with friends.

Yes, Ikaria offers vegetarian-friendly and adaptable options, and staff are noted for accommodating dietary needs. The menu includes many vegetables, dips and meze (hummus, taramosalata, cauliflower, salads) and guests report successful gluten-free and lactose-intolerant accommodations. If you have strict allergies, call ahead so the team can confirm options and preparation practices.

Yes, guests frequently note that staff are accommodating. The team handles dietary requirements (gluten-free, lactose issues), seating preferences and special celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries) with care. It’s best to mention requests when you book or call ahead so they can confirm arrangements and make your visit extra special.

Generally yes, families and birthday groups dine here and guests report a welcoming atmosphere. The menu focuses on shareable meze rather than a dedicated kids’ menu, so children may enjoy dips, grilled pita and simpler dishes. For younger kids consider an earlier seating and call ahead to discuss any menu flexibility or highchair needs.

Busiest: weekend evenings and peak lunch/dinner periods, several guests note lively, noisy service during busy times or large bookings. Quietest: early dinners and weekday nights tend to be calmer and more relaxed, with good chances of window seats and a more intimate vibe. Booking ahead is recommended for weekends or sunset tables.

Weekdays (Mon–Thu) are ideal for a quieter, more relaxed experience, while Fridays and Saturdays are livelier if you want a bustling scene. If you want sunset views without the weekend rush, try an early weekday dinner or an early table on weekends and request a window seat when booking.

Yes, Ikaria offers banquet/feast and tasting-style experiences that guests love. Reviews mention a $75 “Feed Me” menu and larger banquet/’Mediterranean Feast’ options that deliver lots of variety and value for groups. These shared experiences are ideal for celebrations or for sampling many of the restaurant’s standout dishes.

Ikaria is rated 4.7 stars by 414 OpenTable diners.
