The dish that started the avocado toast trend. This recipe first appeared on the Bills menu in Sydney in 1993 and is widely recognized as the first published avocado toast. Simple but perfectly balanced—ripe avocado, acidic lemon, fresh coriander, and quality sourdough. A Granger & Co classic.
Tips from diners
The quality of the sourdough matters here. Dusty Knuckle is a local London bakery—the bread is excellent.
The dish that made Bill Granger famous. The New York Times' Johnny Apple wrote in 2002, 'I would stack Mr. Granger's up against all comers.' The eggs are cooked low and slow until they're creamy, never rubbery. The technique matters more than ingredients here. A simple, perfect breakfast dish.
Tips from diners
This is legendary for a reason. Don't skip it even if you have to wait. Watch the kitchen—the eggs are prepared one plate at a time.
The signature Granger & Co dish. Cloud-like ricotta hotcakes served with fresh banana and honeycomb butter. The pancakes are light, fluffy and substantial, with tangy ricotta that undercuts the sweetness of the maple syrup. This is the dish that drew queues through Notting Hill every Sunday and established Granger's international reputation.
Tips from diners
Expect a 30-60 minute wait on weekends—no reservations policy. Arrive early (before 10am) for shorter waits.
Order with a strong coffee—the pancakes are rich and sweet, and the coffee cuts through beautifully.
A simple side or light breakfast option. Toasted coconut bread that's moist, warm and bready—like coconut macaroons but in bread form. Served with quality butter. Not a meal on its own but a delightful complement to coffee or brunch items.
Tips from diners
Perfect with a strong coffee. The coconut is subtle, not overly sweet.
A vegetable-forward dish that's more substantial than a side. Sweet corn fritters with bright, juicy roast Iberico tomatoes, wilted spinach, and fresh avocado salsa. Good texture contrast and balanced flavors. A brunch favorite that stands up to the famous pancakes.
Tips from diners
If you want something savory instead of sweet, this is the best option on the menu.
