Where to Eat in North Bondi
North Bondi has taken me from a cake shop that looked more like a storeroom to a warm, polished dining room where John Dory arrived in burnt butter. Browse my local stories for memorable sweets, breakfast with an Israeli twist and modern coastal food near the quieter end of the beach.
Noga's cakes we are told, are heaven on earth. Her cheesecakes are award winners and a quick glance at her website shows a heart thumping selection of lusciously tantalising cakes. Driving down Old South Head Road, we stop at her store whose windows are adorned with faded, laminated pictures of her cakes. It actually looks closed but it is open and we are a little shocked when we walk in. We were expecting rows of lusciously beautiful cakes, glazed strawberry tarts and striking Dobos tortes but we are greeted with something that looks like a storeroom mid renovation. The left wall full of stacked cardboard boxes and the right fridge wall full of boxes that are presumably filled with cakes. It appears like a thin layer of flour is dusted upon all surfaces.
