A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

China Diner in Bondi has a new home and it is a vibrant restaurant. It was packed with not an empty seat in the house on New Years evening. Through the huge rush, every single staff member was attentive, extremely polite, very friendly and professional. Big tick for customer service. The drinks menu was extensive and had interesting cocktails. I would recommend the spicy cocktails. The food was of high quality and flavoursome. Our party of 8 chose the banquet both normal and veggie. Delicious food and drink only topped by the terrific level of service. All in all a very pleasant evening. The price was great as well. Good food at a great price. All round excellent value. Well done to the team. Thank you and a Happy New Year!
