Bills Yokohama

Renowned Sydney restaurant Bills, reportedly popular with Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Kate Blanchett and Leonardo DiCaprio, is regarded by its fans as making some of the best breakfasts in the world. In 2010, Bills opened its second restaurant in Japan, at Yokohama’s Red Brick Warehouse. This widely acclaimed restaurant chain started life in 1993, when Bill Granger, thinking to share his cooking with a wider audience, opened his first Bills restaurant in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Since then, Granger has gone on to open two more Sydney restaurants and the first Bills restaurant outside of Australia, in Tokyo’s Shichirigahama – a restaurant which, since opening in 2008, continues to attract the crowds. One of the secrets to Granger’s success is his simple breakfasts that bring out the very best flavours of their ingredients. Favourites at Bills include Scrambled Organic Eggs with Toast, and Ricotta Hotcakes, Fresh Banana and Honeycomb Butter. The restaurant’s 120 seats, 32 of which are out on the terrace, include a private space that accommodates up to six people. The Red Brick Warehouse generally opens at 11am; however, since Bills is a breakfast spot, the restaurant opens at 9am.
