It’s hard not to appreciate what the team at Speakeasy is doing. In a space smaller than a Paddington fashion boutique they serve 26 wines by the glass ranging from $8.50 to $11, and $35 to $90 by the bottle – that's pretty reasonable, particularly in Bondi. If they’ve got some, grab a glass of the 08 Petit Bourgeois Sancerre or the 07 Valpolicella and let your palate have some fun. Use it to wash down chorizo and crisp potatoes or fennel and chicken skewers. As it's a small bar, you’ll need to get in early on weekends and if it happens to be full, come down for coffee the next day – they make a mean flat white.
