Bill Granger built his signature brand on serving generous food in light-filled spaces and his method has been selling like ricotta hotcakes for over two decades. His famous easygoing culinary style has evolved into an impressive global business on what he calls “sunshine food”.
Every Bill Granger’s restaurant reflects Australian sunny, easy-going spirit. While the menu remains largely the same at each, they all have their own personalities. This location exudes a sense of calm and warmth, with crisp neutrals offset by deep red and rich honey hues, mirroring the coastal landscape and expansive views of Cronulla Beach.
The design is reminiscent of an Australian late summer sunset. This design focused on rich, warm hues such as burnt orange and, deep terracotta seen through the use of handmade tiles which are complemented by the sand coloured terrazzo flooring, coming together to elevate the space. Textural and natural materials such as travertine and Damasca marble are juxtaposed with bright powder coated steel surfaces and sleek accents of brass and mirror.
The rounded geometry makes the interior feel relaxed whilst the warm colour palette is soothing and calm. The two different types of circular acoustic panels tie in with the fire engine red backrest of the playful Memphis chairs.
Banquette seating with brass wall lights overhead creates an intimate, familiar feeling and a welcoming space to unwind and enjoy the culinary offering at Bills, whilst a curved stone bar provides the perfect spot to catch up and explore the extensive wine list. Bills is both confident and refined, with an unabashed sense of Australiana at its core, delivering the Cronulla locals and those visiting, a new and unique experience.
