Cafè Bienni Welcomes You

Cafè Bienni's visionary chef leads the way in a culinary revolution. Proclaimed by many to be Australia's leading exponent of la nuova cucina italiana (modern Italian cuisine), Chef Bienni blends earthy seasonal flavors and bold ingredients to create exquisite contemporary dishes.

The name Cafè Bienni comes from our first restaurant, located in a historic building on Norton Street in Leichhardt, where we opened the doors in 1985. We've replicated the elegant interior, exceptional service, and world-class cuisine in our Bondi Beach establishment.
