Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, Italian restaurant at Bondi Beach, Australia.
Icebergs Dining Room and Bar is an Italian restaurant housed in a glass structure positioned above the sea, directly over the Bondi Baths swimming complex. The venue offers expansive ocean and beach views while swimmers navigate the waters beneath the dining level.
The venue was established in the 1990s by Maurice Terzini and shifted how Australia viewed modern Italian dining. This project helped reshape the nation's culinary landscape by introducing fresh approaches to Italian food.
The kitchen blends Italian cooking methods with local ingredients to create a distinct style visible throughout the menu. Diners experience how this place brings together culinary traditions while reflecting its beachside setting.
The venue sits above the ocean swimming pool, so booking ahead is wise, especially on nice days when swimmers are active below. The best time to visit is afternoon or sunset when light across the water creates the most enjoyable atmosphere for dining.
The position above the historic swimming pool means diners watch swimmers move and dive in the ocean during their meal. This creates an unusual link between fine dining and the everyday life of the place.
