Lox Stock & Barrel is located around 15 minutes away from Bondi Beach and it serves up a variety of dishes. Once again I met up with a friend for a much awaited catch up and she suggested Lox Stock and Barrel- since we always eat around Surry Hills/ City I thought it would be a good change :)
Lox Stock & Barrel is a small and homely cafe located on Glenayr Ave, Bondi Beach. We arrived around 11am and was lucky enough to get parking right outside the cafe! :) The cafe is further away from the main street of cafes on O'Brien St/ Hall St.
There is a breakfast, lunch and dinner (YES DINNER! :) Wednesdays to Saturdays 6pm til late) there is also an all day baked goods menu. Lox Stock & Barrel is definitely pushing the traditional cafe menu, especially with the dinner menu. The lunch menu begins at 12pm.
We ended up ordering two dishes: Avocado smash and Grilled house cured mackerel on toast. My friend and I shared both dishes- each dish was very large and very filling!
Now to the fooddddd :)

Grilled house cured mackerel on toast | w/ avocado, tomato and basil salad | $16
For the Grilled house cured mackerel on toast you can chose any type of bread to accompany the dish, we chose the sourdough rye (as recommended by our lovely waitress). I felt that this dish was a little bit on the sour side maybe due to the dressing. The mackerel was very delicious but my friend said she would prefer if it was fried a bit more so it was crunchy. The sourdough rye bread also works very well with the tangy salad and mackerel.
Avocado smash | w/ fetta, lemon, mint, cherry toms and radish | $16
The mixture of fetta, lemon, mint, cherry toms and radish with the avocado complimented each other very well. But I think this dish was overpriced for the amount you get. However, it was a very delicious dish and it was a good spread on top of the seeds and spices bagel (you can chose whatever type of bagel from the list).
Lox Stock and Barrel definitely sparked my curiosity as to what the cafes/ restaurants at Bondi Beach can offer. The quality of the food was very reasonable, however I think the dishes we ordered a bit overpriced for the amount we got/ what we got. I will definitely go back to try the lunch and dinner menu :)
Go try it out and go for a swim at Bondi Beach will you're at it :)
