Bill Granger

Bill Granger, Australian-born restaurateur, food writer and television chef is a self-taught cook and busy father whose joyful approach to cooking and real-life experience in a domestic kitchen guarantees his enduring popularity.

Bill's recipes echo the simply-prepared, produce-driven food found in his celebrated restaurants. The original bills opened in inner-city Sydney in 1993. Two further restaurants opened in Sydney in 1996 and 2005, and bills opened in Tokyo in 2008 and Yokohama in early 2010. Plans for Bill's first London restaurant are building momentum.
