The Grounds by the Sea, Sydney

The Grounds of Alexandria have set up a pop-up restaurant to cater to the crowds visiting Sculpture by the Sea. Plenty of breakfast and lunch options, all set in a beach shack location with a little sandpit for the kids. The decor and ambiance is amazing! Located in Marks Park, which has some the best views between Bondi and Tamarama it’s opened from 7am to 7pm throughout Sculpture by the Sea, which runs from October 23 to November 9. We think they should stay for the summer!

We enjoyed a fantastic pain au chocolat, acai super bowl with fresh banana, strawberries, blueberries, granola and coconut as well as a ‘high-tide mango mulch’ and ‘berried at sea’ smoothie. The chunks of fresh fruit served with the smoothies were a nice touch. We didn’t try the burgers or grilled cheese but both looked delicious.

Every year, the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk is transformed into a 2km long temporary sculpture park called ‘Sculpture By The Sea‘ which features over 100 sculptures by artists from Australia and across the world. Below are just a few of the featured artists in this year’s exhibition. If you’re in Sydney, it’s definitely worth a visit. Sculpture By The Sea is open from 23 October to 9 November 2014.

This year, the 2014 Macquarie Group Sculpture Prize was awarded to Peter Lundberg (USA), for his work ‘ring (2013)‘ – see below.
