Sean's

Sean Moran is one of Australia’s most highly respected chefs, and his signature laid back style is imprinted all over this cosy dining institution — from the wire pendant lights adorned with scallop shells (he made them) to his sister’s paintings on the salon style walls, and the resin-coated oyster shells filled with salt on each table. It’s a set three-course meal (with a choice of three options per serve), so go easy on the freshly baked sourdough and house-churned butter that will land on your table — it’s hard to stop eating it and easy to fill up before the main event arrives. The menu changes daily, and is dependent on the produce from Moran’s farm and the best of locally and ethically sourced seafood, livestock and poultry.

Sydney’s café breakfast credentials are peerless, but if you want to upgrade your morning meal further it’s worth treating yourself to a fancy brunch at Sean’s Panaroma. This long-lived dining destination is now open on weekend mornings with a short, sharp take on brekky that includes crumpets, scrambled eggs with spanner crab, and the Nest ­– two eggs from the Moran family farm perfectly poached and balanced on two crisp, golden brown fried potato hash cakes. A splash of green from the fresh cress is the finishing touch on this elegant, tasty breakfast.

Sitting up on a North Bondi hill with spectacular ocean views, this 45-seater restaurant has a small, regularly-changing menu focused on locally-sourced ingredients and produce grown on the owner’s farm in the Blue Mountains. Think scallops, yabbie tails, kingfish carpaccio, and seafood linguini, with a wine list made up of exclusively Australian wines. And for those who like to look at the water, but not eat from it, there are always a few non-fish options.

Sean’s Panaroma has been serving Bondi’s community with home-style food since its owner, top chef Sean Moran, opened its doors in 1993. Moran uses only sustainable ingredients sourced from his farm just outside Sydney, and “then turns them into mouth-watering dishes of such delicate simplicity, you’ll want him to cook for you every night. This is home-cooked food like you could never be able to cook at home yourself,” McCarthy says.

Great Australian produce–much of it from Sean’s own garden–is prepared simply but oh-so-well here. The regularly changing menu is displayed on blackboards on the wall. There’s usually a choice of four entrées, mains, and desserts, or a spontaneous, five-course chef's tasting menu.

It has been a mainstay of the menu for 30 years, so you know there is something special about Sean’s roast chicken. This cosy, art-filled North Bondi restaurant has been doing its own thing for three decades, and continues to delight its regulars with farm-fresh produce that hasn’t been fussed over too much. Dinner is now degustation-only but what hasn’t changed is the welcoming vibe and the countless charming details, from the artworks on the wall to the little sea shells in which sea salt, olive oil and butter are served.
