Very nice view on Coogee beach. Good atmosphere and clean.
Service was attentive and friendly.
Coffee was strong and taste good.
Avocado with poach egg with generous avocado slides and a perfect poach egg. A bit downside is the spices was overwhelmed.
Greek yogurt was surprisingly big and generous berries and honey.
Relaxing and enjoyed the breakfast a lot.

The atmosphere was stunning, and the staff were very kind. I absolutely loved the fish tacos—fantastic portions and great value for the price. The laid-back vibe, set against the beautiful backdrop of Coogee Beach, made the experience even better. And the tiramisu was absolutely incredible! More

Great views, food and service. We like stopping by in the morning with our pooch and also after the beach for a sunset sip. Love the lobster roll, super fresh oysters, grilled prawns and the fish croquettes are super delicious. Also have a nice dry pink bubbles that's the perfect accompaniment. More

Location was great, food good but small portions. Fish Pie on the smaller side. Also I had the grilled calamari, which was tasty but more of an entre size, and I am not a big eater. … More

Great service, awesome view, amazing atmosphere, being a foodie its the little things that count, we had the prawn dumpling, they were delicious & full of flavour, Calamari + Zucchini fritters, had no fritters just Calamari, nice but disappointing not to get the entire dish! Cod croquettes were also very nice.
Halloumi, nice but no flavour, a bit of honey goes a long way, broccolini, need to take the little leaves off. But I'm just picky! I've had breakfast here as well, Pancakes are a must, absolutely delicious, avo on toast with goats cheese, maybe don't be too sparing on the goats cheese. Bit overpriced but overall nice & will always come back

I enjoyed a breakfast here with friends to celebrate my birthday recently. Great location with lovely views over Coogee Beach. The restaurant was beautiful & modern, buzzing with groups of people on a busy Saturday morning. The service was very friendly & fast considering how busy it was. The menu had plenty to choose for everyone, the coffee & food were all exceptional and beautifully presented. I highly recommend coming to Bathers Coogee & will definitely be coming back again!

Bathers has the best position in Coogee. It is slightly elevated from the street, light and airy with perfect NE aspect. Our group of 12 had the set menu with shared plates of kingfish cerviche, tomato & Burrata with brown toast, prawn dumplings and a choice of 5 mains to choose from and tiramisu for dessert. The food was delicious. I did feel that the tiramisu portion size was small and that the snapper fillet and steak mains needed potato/chips as well as the coleslaw. Service was friendly.

Beautiful spot for a relaxed lunch with a stunning ocean view.
The food was fresh and well-balanced — we especially enjoyed the grilled pumpkin + chicken with quinoa and the S Kidman Rump Cap steak.
If you want a seat with ocean views, definitely book ahead as those tables go fast. Great vibe and friendly service too!

The breakfast was a bit expensive but it was good, the ocean view was very nice, not many cars or road noise from the outdoors sitting. The staff was nice but the service was slow. We waiting more than 30 minutes for an avocado toast and a bacon roll.
I'm glad I got the salmon supplement with the avo toast because it was great salmon and complimentary of the avocado. The avocado portion on the toast was generous. However the avocado was not seasoned.

Went there for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday, had a large party of people including small children and a disabled person and the staff were very understanding and accommodating. Beautiful views looking north over Coogee Beach. Food was great and service was great, big shout out to the Irish waitress who was patient and amiable. And the best Tiramusu I've had.

Friday lunch this week is at Bathers, Coogee Beach. We are having a night at Bondi Junction and did the coastal walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee. We normally do it the other way round and this is the first time going south. An absolutely stunning day with blue sky all around. Sea breeze keeping the temps down as we walked a couple of hours to lunch. Lunch was amazing. Bathers is at the south end of a very Aussie beach but the restaurant has a really European feel. From the French rose’ to the Greek style calamari it was all perfect. The usual pub crawl home to follow. 🐙🦑🐟

Excellent find and worth the 20m walk up from next door. Food was superb, fresh, wonderfully presented on the plate, and served quickly. Coffee was excellent, made by the waiter in front of us and brought straight to the table. Great location at the end of the beach near the rock pool, and definitely a great brunch location without too many tourists (for Coogee!).
