Located in the south of the city, Bond is a lively destination eatery with long interior space mixed with sexy drinking bar, small lounge and formal dining room. Open for lunch and dinner, daytime offers a serious lunch scene of local office workers that tuck-into hour long power lunches before hitting the afternoon happy hour around 5pm. Dinner is a more formal affair in a new-moody dining room alit in amber pendent lighting reflecting walls with natural stone and wooden windows typical of local neighborhood architecture. Long banquettes and club chairs inspired by Eames lend a retro feel to mid-century interior design albeit with a thoroughly modern façade.
