Dopa Bondi

The Devon Cafe crew landed in Bondi Junction with the opening of DOPA, a Japanese-focused joint starring a simple, fresh rice dish curated exclusively for the health-conscious Bondi local: the donburi.

The Bondi Junction location is the seventh for the rice bowl-slinging franchise, and brings the full range of reimagined rice bowls focused on sustainable production and high quality ingredients. The signature dish is a more nutritious substitute for some of the traditional fast food joints available within the confines of Westfield Bondi Junction.

Opt for the donburi and you'll be met with 20 variations featuring teriyaki chicken, pork katsu and wagyu beef tongue. And, because this is Bondi we're talking, a vegan-friendly Bondi-exclusive dish was added to the menu upon opening. The 'Bondi don' stars a plant-based patty on a bed of rice, topped with vegan cheese, mustard, tomato sauce and shredded nori.

For a sweet treat, take your pick from the dessert selection. The soft and chewy mochi daifuku ranges from matcha to fruity flavours like strawberry; cool off with a light strawberry parfait, or opt for a slice of DOPA's original or matcha cheesecake.

Plus, there is also an extensive selection of fruity in-house brewed teas to sip on in order to cool down on a sweltering summer day.
