    The prices might make you cry into your eggs. but Bills is a reliable choice for a nice breakfast. The corn fritters are delightful, as is the service and ambiance.

    I think this is the best of the three Bills restaurants around Sydney. Particularly in winter, it is probably my favourite spot for brekky. A Saturday morning rarely goes by where theres not a wait for a table. But even if youre standing outside in the cold, its worth it once you get in.

    The place has a really warm and local feel about it. This restaurant is much smaller than Bills other restaurants. The focus when you walk in is on the large communal table sitting right in the middle of the room, which is covered in magazines and the weekends papers. I always order the bircher muesli because it is my all-time favourite, but most people tend to opt for the scrambled eggs, which Bills eateries are quite famous for. If you can fit it in, I also suggest getting one of the homemade muffins, which are often displayed on the counter. It can get exxy if youre not careful what you order, but its worth it this is always a great caf experience.

    A Darlinghurst institution, breakfast ain't breakfast if it's not scrambled by Bill. With hotcakes to wet your whistle and a community at your table, Bill has got it served hot!

    I love this restaurant, especially for Sunday morning breakfast. Be sure to make a booking though, tends to get very busy.

    Don't be put off by the bad reviews! Bills is Sydney to a tee and well worth a visit. It is my all-time favourite breakfast destination. The eggs live up to the hype (and the staff are always more than happy to do a dairy-free version for me which is delicious too). The food is fresh, delicious and unpretentious. Try the ricotta hotcakes - they're to die for!

    The most over-rated eggs in Sydney, but good service almost makes up for it.

    The corn fritter is definitely a must to try. Wouldnt say you would come here all the time, but something you should try once.

    Definitely over-rated. Food is pretty uninspiring and you could probably just stay home and make it yourself. If you live in the area there are better places to go to breakfast or brunch. Dont waste your time with Dinner.

    Disappointing. If you want to que behind people from the burbs (a line out the door on weekends so beware) to eat expensive scrambled eggs on dull white toast (no, there is only white so dont ask) then go for it. Sydney can and does better.

    In some ways I agree with the last reviewers comments it is a bit overrated. We went for a birthday brekkie and had to queue for a long while. We got a table and ordered the sweetcorn fritters and Hotcakes with honey comb butter. My fritters arrived but I'd finished mine by the time my wife's hotcakes arrived. They apologised and we got the hotcakes free of charge but it didn't really make for a great experience. Although the wife says the hotcakes are to die for...

    (the Liverpool Street, Darlinghurst one.) Brilliant brews, creamy scrambled eggs and maybe a ricotta cake or two.
