It really is one of those gracious places that is wonderful, without really having to try. The food is totally non pretentious, but marries the most stunning and simple flavours. I normally love going there for breakfast (corn fritters and ricotta hotcakes are totally legendary, as are his eggs that must contain way too much cream to be at all healthy) and was totally tempted, but also wanted to try something new.
I decided on the Orecchiette with ricotta, baby spinach and roasted tomatoes. A combination I'll be trying at home very very soon.

The wait staff looked after us impeccably, letting us wait in a neighbouring book store, and then coming to find us when an available table came up. We were impressed.
Thanks Bills for another great meal. Love your work.
PS sorry for the lack of photos. I'm currently looking to invest in a DSLR which would be very exciting and would totally inspire me to take HEAPS of photos. But SLRs are much more techy and involved than I was thinking, but hopefully I'll decide soon.
Sounds like you had a lovely time! And I love my DSLR and yes it does make you want to take loads of photos too :)
ReplyDeletethanks Lorraine, so many options to look at. It's a big investment for me!
ReplyDeleteIt is a big investment, but totally worth it :) I love documenting our life on my camera.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Bill's. When in Sydney I cafe hop from one location to the other. The corn fritters are amazing! And now I'm craving pancakes even though I've just eaten lunch! haha. Your orecchiette looks divine. Good on you for trying something new, I sometimes struggle to deviate from the old gems :)
