Promenade Bondi is an all-day dining haven by the Pacific. Drawing inspiration from the pavilion’s rich textures, vibrant colors, and the raw beauty of the coastal landscape, The Stella Collective has crafted a casual, elegant all day dining space to welcome everyone – Just dust off the sand and step inside...

Originally commissioned by the Waverley council in 1923 with architecture by Leigh McCredie, The Pavilion was a heady mix of Georgian and Mediterranean styles. Interestingly the now iconic colonnaded façade was then seen as exotic.

The Stella Collective has embraced this aspect by opening the front and sides to the view, allowing the restaurant to take full advantage of the outdoors and leverage the natural ventilation, augmented as needed by large overhead walnut ceiling fans.    Expressing the Pavilion as a pavilion may sound logical, but over the past 100 years the colonnaded section has been largely treated as an entry point rather than a sheltered place to enjoy the view. This return to the architect’s vision in many ways brings the splendour of Bondi Beach back into rightful focus.
