Panama House

This Bondi bar-with-food is southern comfort wrapped in an oyster silk scarf: no dude food here, thank you. It’s a long, low-lit, industrial-chic grey space, with stylish twosomes lingering over Spanish wines and oysters with tequila, lime and coriander jelly. A hanger steak burger comes with excellent chips with cumin aioli, and fried chicken with golden corn bread, while three-cheese quesadillas (goat’s, tasty and mascarpone) arrive with a watercress and cabbage slaw and four small jars of salsas. Sit at the well-stocked bar, where the knowledgeable staff mix pisco sours and rum punch, and let the evening drift on with a dreamy New York cheesecake.
