Working in the city and living within 2km of it means we have the luxury of being lazy about cooking meals every now and then. The SO and I were bitten by a lazy bug, so took a chance on Tinbilly Bar & Grill for dinner after work.
The Atlantic Salmon (AUD$15.90) is balanced on top of little trunks of kipfler potato, over a landscape of crispy bacon and tomato bruchetta, and served with lemon and dill mayonnaise.
The Tin Spice Burger (AUD$14.90) was pretty huge and definitely hit the spot with my hunger pangs. It combines a prime beef pattie with mozarella and a homestyle chilli tomato jam, and is served on a bed of chicken salt dusted chips. I haven’t had chicken salt in yonks, so this was quite a treat and I had trouble pushing the rest away after I had eaten past bursting point. The burger itself is not the least bit spicy if you’re a chilli fiend, so for those wusses out there, this one is still fair game.
The cut and quality of the food is pretty good, considering the Tinbilly Bar & Grill is located right beneath a backpacker’s. And the portions are generous.
Service is as you’d expect at some bars. You place your order at the counter, grab a buzzer and wait for its vibrations to signal your meal is ready for pickup. The method works and keeps bar staff behind the counter, where they’re usually needed.

That salmon looks delish! I have a love hate relationship with those buzzers – they’re good in theory but always scare the hell out of me when they go off lol. Especially when its on a hard surface!
They do, don’t they?! It’s a little stressful, so I pop it on top of my bag, which is smooshy and absorbs the worst of the vibrations.
