Let me just say that pub grub doesn't photograph too well. The dim lights, the plonked-on-the-plate food (or in this case shoved-in-a-box) and the massive servings that are far from dainty make for unphotogenic food. However, this is the best type of food: homely, hearty and unable to be finished. Massive servings that make you smile, flavours oh so similar to home cooking but with that restaurant touch, warm, friendly, classic Australian service and that laid back we-don't-care-if-you-draw-all-over-out-paper-covered-tables 'tude. The. Best. Food.
I have posted about Bill and Toni's here and here and nothing has changed. I don't really have anymore praises to sing. The food is wonderful, the staff are wonderful, as are the prices and homely decor. Gosh, the whole package the place offers even tempts me to say the paper-covered tables are wonderful. Classy.
Anyway, Nathan and I were going to get pizza but, as always, Nathan alerted me that he had changed his mind and wanted a burger. Really, you want a burger? How original! So, we drove to the place that, at the moment, I classify as having the best burgers in town. And a delicious, juicy burger he did get. I, on the other hand, felt like something different and being a big fan of chicken, ordered the chicken parmigiana: grilled breast fillet topped with napoletana, eggplant and melted cheese w/ a side of creamy garlic mash ($16). It was amazing. The eggplant, the cheese, the napoletana - yum, just yum. The chicken was so tender, as was the creamy garlic mash wonderfully garlicy and creamy! At $16 I was more than satisfied, and left a quarter of my plate untouched because the serving size was so huge.
Next visit will be to try out their 10 buck lunches or cheap steak Tuesdays!
Bill and Toni's, 31 Cameron St, Balmain
