EG chose very well with the scrambles, but looks like I lucked out too.<br/><br/>Eww...batter-y pancakes aren't very palatable either. How can they get this rather simple dish so wrong?

Eww…batter-y pancakes aren’t very palatable either. How can they get this rather simple dish so wrong?

So it was a half and half experience.<br/><br/>Next time I'm up your side of town I will definitely pop by Brasserie Bread. Sourdough pancakes and honeycomb cream sounds just divine!

I have been there twice and was never really blown away with the food. But I still recommend their eggs to interstate visitors.<br/><br/>Although, my experince was never as bad as yours. I got the hotcakes and I have to admit mine did come hot and fluffy. So I couldn't complain there. And the eggs and coffee were excellent.<br/><br/>If you ever come back to Sydney, try breakfast at Brasserie Bread. It's a bit of a drive from the city (it's near the airport) but it's less pretentious and their sourdough pancakes with honeycomb cream is ten times better.

Their bircher and corn cakes (not at the same time mind you) are particular favourites. Ooooh...you name dropper you...actually, the Grangers do come across as fairly nice people on the tele.

Each time I am at Bills I end up ordering the toasted muesli. Its not the most exciting choice but it is delicious and I've always been a bit dissapointed in the breakfasts. My pick for the best muesli in Melbourne is Mart in Middle Park. As a sidenote (read brag) I sat next to Bill, his wife and daughters for lunch one day in Dalesford last winter and they are lovely people. Thats a shame.
