Sydney: Where to Eat: Quick Break: bills Surry Hills

bills Surry Hills

The three bills cafes are the places to brunch in Sydney. Bill Granger—another of the city’s perpetually sunny-natured celebrity chefs—has perfected the art of delicious yet basic food in convivial (if noisy) surroundings. His cookbooks have become international best-sellers because he celebrates keeping things simple. Blackboards serve as menus and his ricotta hotcakes with banana and maple syrup are considered a Sydney icon right up there with the Opera House. Tip: In Aussie speak: a flat-white is similar to a latte and a short black is a single espresso shot.
