The restaurant turf war raging at Bondi Pavilion over the past 18 months has finally been settled, with Waverley Council making its choice after an exhaustive tender process that culled some of the biggest names in Sydney hospitality.
The restaurant site at the landmark building, which is undergoing a massive restoration, was so competitive several A-list operators didn t even make the shortlist. And it proved to be an up-and-coming outsider that pipped the field when Waverley Council met last week.
The crew from Circular Quay s recently opened Hinchcliff House has nabbed the beachfront site.
