I couldn't get enough of this place when living in Sydney. Whether on the way back from the beach, grabbing a bite after a night out or waking up with a hangover, it never failed to satisfy. The breakfasts had enough on them to fill me up for a day.

The setting is phenomenal. Take a laid-back ferry here. Walk along the beach to work up an appetite. Watch the pelicans. Then enjoy the delicious seafood and ice-cold beer or bloody Marys. It's a family-run business since 1885. We took Doyles coozies home and think about our Australia vacation every time we use them.

Sydney's Thai Town spoils you for choice for great Thai diners but of the half a dozen I tried this was my favourite. There must be 100 options on the menu and it's a credit that every plate comes out looking as delicious as the next. The open kitchen is a nice touch too as you can smell the aromas the moment you step through the door.

If there was ever a place to fill up before heading down to Bondi Beach then this is it.

And the small outdoor seating area has views of the beach.
