The Grounds is built on the philosophy of creating experiences for communities through quality products, innovations and an ever-evolving vision.
Located in a former industrial precinct from the 1920s, The Grounds of Alexandria opened in 2012 and houses a landmark coffee roastery, café, restaurant and bar, animal farm and garden.
Our Alexandria location has become renowned as one of Sydney’s must-visit locations, having earned the title of the 7th most Instagrammed place in Australia for 2016.
The initial vision was born from entrepreneurial duo Ramzey Choker and Jack Hanna who had the vision to turn the then industrial concrete car park into a thriving urban sanctuary, designed as a welcoming space to bring people together.
In June 2017 a second location was introduced to Sydney’s CBD, The Grounds of The City. Nearly three years in the making, this coffeehouse-inspired inner-city hub was designed to transport guests back to an era of old-school charm and reignite the heart and soul of the city. The City offers a world-class experience grounded by warmth and old-fashioned charm. It's a haven from the office, a hub for heart-to-hearts and a magnet for the style set.
Cafe Sydney is a quintessential Sydney dining experience, capturing the essence of the harbour city with breathtaking views of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House from its rooftop location at Customs House.
A thoughtfully curated lunch and dinner menu showcases the finest seasonal produce, perfectly complemented by an awarded Australian wine list. The Lounge is a sophisticated space to sit back and enjoy an expertly crafted cocktail and light bite.
From business lunches to intimate dinners and grand celebrations, Cafe Sydney offers a vibrant, contemporary dining experience delivered with the timeless hospitality it is renowned for.
Every Bill Granger restaurant reflects our spirit, the essence that makes us unique; our sunny easy-going approach and our generous nature in hospitality and producing delicious dishes of food. Bill opened his first restaurant in Sydney’s Darlinghurst in 1993. It soon became loved for its legendary breakfasts, served at the famous central communal table, where locals and travelers, families and friends, continue to be welcomed. Twenty-eight years later, Bill’s relaxed, friendly and infectious joy in good, fresh food has become truly global, and is enjoyed at his restaurants in Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo and London.
Our global bills community is family. One of diversity, fairness, equality, creativity and development. We are always on the lookout for great people to join the bills family as our teams are the heartbeat that brings the sunny warm bills spirit to life.
bills restaurants are all based in and around the eastern suburbs of Sydney: Darlinghurst, Bondi Beach, Double Bay and in Surry Hills.
