Tamarama’s food scene is relaxed and fresh, with a strong focus on Australian café culture. Expect excellent coffee, artisanal pastries, and light brunches, often featuring avocado toast, fresh seafood, and seasonal fruits. While there are few dining venues in tiny Tamarama itself, Bondi’s nearby restaurants—like Trio Café and Bondi Trattoria—are great for casual business lunches.
Local venues such as Tamarama Beach Cafe offer simple, tasty beachside fare and good coffee. Most eateries cater well to dietary needs, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Tipping is optional in Australia but appreciated for good service; 10% is customary in nicer restaurants. For drinks, enjoy local wines or a craft beer by the sea.
