Opening in Cronulla in 2016 by three mates Daniel Sorridimi, Robert Lechowicz and Paul Pisani, Blackwood has quickly become a favourite meeting place for locals and a must-visit brunch destination for visitors from around Sydney. Expanding to include a Bondi location in early 2022, blurring the lines between café, restaurant and bar, Blackwood now offers two distinct venues with the focus firmly on the essence of the way the owners love to dine: fun and vibrant, super sleek but comfortable design and the feeling that you’re welcome anytime. Michelin-star trained co-owner and executive chef, Robert Lechowicz, brings you a bright, broad and seasonal menu with Mediterranean and Asian flavours grounded with French technique, utilising local and seasonal produce wherever possible.

Made a reservation for six, the banquet option provided was amazing with a wide variety of dishes. Some people in the party were vegetarian and Pellegrino accommodated that professionally. A overall great experience.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere at The Grounds. The decor is stunning, and the ambience makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. They’ve put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming environment. The service stood out for me. It was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about The Grounds—from the decor to the overall vibe—felt thoughtful and inviting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and enjoy excellent service.

This place was a little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the walk from intimate space to its delicious food. Everything was perfect. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super funny and had great suggestions. Definitely coming back.
