Looking for a breakfast in Liverpool city centre was something I found difficult, having woken up too late to have breakfast at my hotel (the previous time it was poor anyway), and with my main choice Carluccio's shut down, and also with waiting times of over half an hour for a table at Cosy Club, I decided to try out Bill's, this branch is located in the One, it is next to Starbucks and a large staircase, opposite the Hilton Liverpool while also being close to Albert Dock.
I've visited Bill's before on two occasions, at Manchester (just off Deansgate) and their branch in the Trafford Centre, both times I've been disappointed and I was hoping with a different yet again it would be third time lucky, however sadly unless I like scrambled eggs which look like vomit, I was wrong.
From the outside, this looks like a nice branch and on the inside, the branch is a little quirky, with chandeliers over certain tables.
They do have a gluten free menu and I decided to go for the traditional breakfast with poached eggs - however with beans and poached egg to replace the avocado and mushrooms, avocado dominating the menu and the decor give this place a huge hipster/millennial vibe.
My food took a little to while to come, and when it did it looked like it was presented quite nice, however my food just was of a poor quality, the scrambled eggs which were covered in my photo with the bacon, was full of yolk and it was a sloppy mess and ended up looking like vomit, and it certainly didn't taste much better.
The rest of my meal wasn't much better, the beans weren't the Heinz brand which dominates the market in the UK, they tasted hard. Hard also matched the streaked bacon, which I found to be hard and fatty. Writing about the rest of my dish now, the toasted gluten-free bread was okay but needed a lot of butter to make it able to eat and the poached eggs were slightly too runny for my liking.
The only good part of my experience here was my iced tea - which was decent quality and the fact this place had wifi, it was pretty easy and generic to connect to with name/email etc and the wifi speed was average.
The staff also seemed nice enough here but that doesn't make up for the food quality is poor, and also priced slightly higher than I'd expect to pay at other breakfast joints including Carluccio's for a lower quality. I'm struggling here, other than the service and my drink this place was a disaster, even parts of the decor I didn't like which was a shame so I sadly feel Bills deserves the same fate as my past two visits to different branches of the chain with a single one-star rating. read more
