BEST PLACES TO EAT

Nancy Durrant has the secrets of great eating whatever your budget from three of Sydney's top chefs

Bill Granger, Bill’s (1, www.bills.com.au)

2 I don’t often go out for breakfast but if I did I’d go to Bill’s! It’s very relaxed. I also like Fratelli Paradiso in Potts Point (12-16 Challis Avenue; 02 9357 1744), a little Italian restaurant that sells patisserie in the morning.

3 For lunch, I like Icebergs for a blowout. It overlooks North Bondi – the view over the water is amazing (1 Notts Avenue; 02 9365 9000).

4 For dim sum there’s East Ocean in Haymarket (421-429 Sussex Street; 02 9212 4198), a great hangover cure.

5 Dinner would be fish and chips on Bronte beach, or any of Sydney’s beaches. It’s beautiful, with the kids running around and watching the last of the surfers.

6 For atmosphere I like Sean’s Panaroma, a really funky beach house (270 Campbell Parade, Bondi; 02 9365 4924).

7 Longrain Thai in Surry Hills (85 Commonwealth Street; 02 9280 2888) is a great warehouse space, good for a night out. They have communal tables and a DJ.

8 For kids, any of the city’s Chinese restaurants. Bistro Moncur in Woollahra (Woollahra Hotel, 116 Queen Street; 02 9327 9713) is expensive but it’s smart, local, does a great steak and they’re good with kids.

What about the Brett Whiteley gallery? It's a fascinating place with it's massive matchstick outside and everything left as it was when he died (drugs!!). Good examples of his work on display.
