Inside, the space is filled with dark wood tables of varying sizes, necessary to accommodate large bookings and walk-ins from locals. A turntable is poised, ready to go at a moment’s notice. Very fitting, considering the bar’s namesake, Billie Holiday, was a famous jazz singer. Outside, the sunlit courtyard is covered in vines and makes for a very pleasant setting.

Turning more than just local heads, Billie H was named one of Australia’s top restaurants by Gourmet Traveller and the Weekend Australian Magazine, and the winner of OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice in 2017. It’s for good reason too. Head Chef, Alia Glorie, has created a standout menu that puts an interesting twist on some old classics including devilled chicken livers and sardines on toast. Thrown into the mix are the usual share plate favourites like grilled chorizo, marinated olives and a selection of cures. But the best part is, they’ve dedicated a whole section of the menu entirely to cheese. With selections from France, England, Netherlands and Australia, they’ve got their priorities in order!
