Mietta's Review
Bright, airy, stylish and quintessentially Sydney, Bill Granger's flagship now does dinner. Lunch (and breakfast) have become essential eating for the smart Darlo set. The move into dinners is carefully priced with mains under $30. The dishes are simple but well judged. The food does not shock or dazzle, tastes do not explode - they just are. Be prepared to wait a bit for a seat and for your food - a restaurant that has been this good and this chic for this long is justifiably crowded. Beginning to look a bit like a chain bills is also at at 359 Crown Street, Surry Hills, 9360 4762 and Queen's Court 118 Queen Street Woollahra , 9328 7997.

Sydney Eats 2006 "The bills empire is ever-expanding, with outposts now in Surry Hills and Woollahra, and even here at the original, there is change afoot. Having established himself king of breakfast eggs $11.80 Bill Granger has now made a move on dinner."

Sydney Eats 2005 "For more than a decade Bill Granger's been the brekky king, so rather than change any of the fab favourites sunrise (fruit juice and yoghurt) $3.80, exceptional scrambled eggs $10.50, ricotta hotcakes with honeycomb butter and banana $15, and corn fritters with roast tomato, spinach and bacon $15.50 - they've opened Sundays."
