Spend some bills at Bills

Bill's Surry Hills is a well-known cafe and restaurant located in Surry Hills, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It's famous for its breakfast and brunch menu, including dishes like ricotta hotcakes and scrambled eggs. But I also highly recommend to try their pasta. It’s very savoury !

Sydney Bourke Street Bakery

Bourke Street Bakery is a famous bakery at Sydney’s Surry Hills since 2004. Famous for artisan breads, pastries and savory items. There are few branches at Sydney and I visited the Surry Hills with light railway. Just stop at Surry Hills station and short distance walk from the station to the bakery. Just be aware of the seagulls as the birds will get aggressive sometimes Nice bakery cafe worth to spend a short afternoon #100waysoftravel #couplestrip #travel #sydney #australiatrip

Bourke Street Bakery Surry Hills

#australiatrip Visited this lovely corner shop bakery for a coffee and a cake, what a great place this is. Staff were welcoming, helpful and amicable. All the cakes and pastries looked very tempting so decided on the almond praline crossaint which was recommended and did not disappoint. Will definitely try to return to sample a couple of more cakes, savouries, breads while watching the world and the trams pass by. If your in need of a coffee and a cake this is definitely the place to visit! Address: 633 Bourke St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia

Firedoor Restaurant

#australiatrip My experience at Firedoor was truly amazing. The food was exceptional, with each dish beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. The ambiance added to the overall enjoyment, making it a memorable evening. However, I did feel a bit rushed during the meal, as there's a 2-hour limit for dining. While I understand it's to accommodate everyone. Address: 23/33 Mary St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia

Creative food

Nice spot with outside seats right on crown street so good for people watching. Service was fast and friendly, the menu is varied, good selection of vegetarian options and the food and coffee was really good. Even though I went to this place more than a month back, I still remember their delicious food. The Bagel with smoked salmon and poached eggs is to die for and I wouldn't be surprised if many others reflected my opinion the same way. Reasonably priced and great coffee also. Highly recommended. #australiatrip #hiddengems #brekkie

cute little cafe

Reuben cafe has a lovely atmosphere. Love the rueben sandwich. The rustic warehouse interior creates a great vibe for you to enjoy some tasty food and awesome coffee. Ricotta pancakes are a bit sweet and not puffy with too much cranberries sauce poured over them. The location and atmosphere were great but the food stole the show. We had the breakfast burger (with cheese) which was nowhere near as heavy as I thought it would be (in a good way). We had Dirty Chicken and Baked eggs with jacon. The spice tastes good in the baked eggs and was delicious tipping with the bread. The dirty chicken is an burger, and the chicken was good. We also had coffee, a honey brewed one? It was really good. The pancakes were very good and the mushroom burrito hits the spot. I love this place. #australiatrip #couplestrip #flowerlover #deliciousfood

Cozy spot

This place has a very good atmosphere. It kind of feels cozy. This is a great weekend lunch spot in a very convenient location within Surry Hills. The service was pretty good too. For a busy Saturday lunch sesh the food didn’t really take that long either. The standout dish would have to be the fried chicken waffle. The coffee needs a bit of improvement. The atmosphere is perfect to do some remote work while watching locals pass by. Indoor seating is very spacious as well! Lots of tables and bar seating options. I tried their porridge which had a nice touch of caramelized banana. The avocado on toast was just perfectly made and concluded with grilled vegetables salad. #australiatrip #workcafe #cozy

Coffee and Brekkie

Love the background music, the warm feeling for the people serving you and food is good too. It’s a combination of little of everything that made this place felt like I would like to come back here again. Love their brekkie options which is perfect for morning time. I love the place, it's so small but in some way you feel comfortable and relaxed. The cold brew was so good. And the cappuccino was yummy. Best flat white and espresso tasting, and incredible corn fritters with avocado and soft boiled eggs. I stayed for nearly two hours reading a book. Highly recommended. #australiatrip #deliciousfood #brekkie

local and rustic

Bourke Street Bakery is a well known bakery that started out in Surry hills. I have had stuff from there many times in the past. Most recently, I purchased a loaf of sourdough, a beef pie, and some cookies, and thoroughly enjoyed both the experience and the quality of the products. I love the Beef Pie's crispy buttery puff pastry and sausage roll with a flavour of pork and fennel could be the most delicious rolls I've ever had! The pastry is flakey and beautifully crisp, and the meat is really excellent. The lemon tart tasted good in the end, it's just fresh. The ginger creme brulee tart is so wonderful that it's not a good idea to share cause it’s just so great to have another one. Their coffee's are good too and go perfectly well with bakery items. #australiatrip #bakery #besteats #localgems

Vegetarian Cafe in the Garden.

Stepping into the shop is like entering a small garden, with the restaurant surrounded by many plants. OVO Cafe and OVO Garden are connected, offering a fresh and comfortable environment, and it's also a great place for taking photos. It was just the right time for afternoon tea, so I ordered a Tea Set with snacks + drink. The [Egg White Lemon Tart (egg, milk) $82] was full of fresh lemon flavor. The lemon taste was strong, and with the light egg white in the middle, the texture was even richer. If you like lemon, you can't miss this. The drink was half price, and I finally chose the summer essential [Iced Fresh Fruit Tea $34], which was full of fruits and had a sweet and refreshing taste. The fruits included watermelon, lemon, dragon fruit, pineapple, and mango. The [Fresh Fruit Salad Bowl $90] with freshly cut fruits + salad greens was generously portioned. The fruits included watermelon, dragon fruit, pineapple, mango, and cherries, and it tasted even better with balsamic dressing. For snacks, I ordered three portions of [Crispy Salted Vegetarian Chicken Spleen + Spicy King Oyster Mushroom (spicy, pungent) $68]. The vegetarian chicken spleen was wrapped in tofu skin, giving it a crispy and fragrant texture, while the king oyster mushrooms were juicy and refreshing, with a spicy flavor that was quite appealing, along with crispy vegetarian prawn crackers. The [Japanese-style Dumplings $58] were fried to a golden color, filled with a juicy and sweet filling that was crisp and delicious. I fell in love with it after one bite. There were also 4 skewers of [OVO Satay Chicken Skewers (egg) $58]. The chicken skewers were made from soy and had a nice bite to them, and they were even better with the rich satay sauce, along with crispy vegetarian prawn crackers. The [Passion Fruit Soda $40] with passion fruit + soda had a moderate sweetness and was very refreshing to drink. Restaurant: OVO Cafe Location: Shop 1, Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai

Wonderful stay in Sydney CBD

We stayed in Club Wyndham in Sydney CBD for a long weekend. We had a 1 bedroom apartment. There’s a spacious lounge, full kitchen and a balcony. The bedroom and bedding was very comfortable and the whole apartment was very clean and tidy. The location was central yet quiet. It’s very close to China town and Thai Town where’s there’s lots of food options and about 30 minutes walk to the Opera House. It’s a 5 minutes walk to Museum Station and Central Station, making it very convenient to travel destinations outside the city and also to and from Sydney Airport. Highly recommend to book a few months ahead especially during school holidays or festive season as all the rooms are sold out pretty quickly.
