Gelato Messina Bondi

The 38 Best Restaurants in Sydney, Australia | Eater

"You’ll find enticing scoops all over Sydney, from the peach and basil flavor at Randwick’s Gaia Gelato to the turon gelato with caramelized spring roll crisps at Burwood’s Kariton Sorbetes. But Gelato Messina HQ in Marrickville might be the most blockbuster sweet tooth-friendly venue out there. Gelato specials can include favorite flavors like pavlova or Robert Brownie Jr., alongside regular offerings like pistachio praline, all churned from Jersey milk from Messina’s 500-strong dairy herd on its Victorian farm. There are also frozen cakes (like tiramisu tarts) and a chocolate cabinet displaying artisan takes on Iced VoVos, Wagon Wheels, and other Australian supermarket sweets sculpted with single-origin cacao from Ecuador. Know before you go: You’ll also find an in-house bakery (the excellent Shadow Baking) and restaurant (the cutely named Erin)." - Lee Tran Lam
