Icebergs Dining Room and Bar was designed in 2001. This classic architecture is from Roman architect Lazzarini Pickering. As with all great design, it has stood the test of time and looks as iconic today as it did when first completed.

A palette inspired by the ocean, a modern beach house of contemporary elegance on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean.

Our award-winning two Hat Dining Room menu reflects the depth of regional Italian cuisine, whilst proudly working with the best produce that Australia has in its own backyard.

A destination for all seasons.

Weddings at Icebergs, Bondi Beach

Icebergs has spent more than two decades hosting the celebrations that matter, set at the southern end of Bondi Beach with windows that draw the Pacific into the room along the front and side. A wedding reception here is built around the table first: the food of a kitchen hatted since 2002, service that knows how to hold a room, and a view that needs no introduction. It is a Bondi celebration venue in the truest sense, a restaurant that happens to command one of Australia’s most recognisable coastal views.

We couldn’t fault the team at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar. An incredible menu and drinks offering served by a stellar front of house team who lived up to the iconic venue’s reputation. The entire team took exceptional care of every single guest during our wedding reception. To say they went above and beyond is still an understatement. A formidable venue only made better by the people who work there.

The setting shapes itself to the day. For an intimate gathering, the Pacific Dining Room is the only private room at Icebergs, looking directly over Bondi Beach, with a bar of its own. For a larger celebration, the Dining Room can be used exclusively, the whole restaurant and its view given over to a single party.

Few restaurant wedding venues in Sydney offer a kitchen and a table like this at the edge of the beach. It is a room that allows the day speak for itself.
