Fred's

Sydney, Australia

There’s something of rural Provence about this likeable spot, with its pastel-clad waiters and flagged floors. Rustic wooden counters separate the open kitchen from the dining area and the whole restaurant unfurls from an enormous hearth, where the team creates produce-driven, Mediterranean triumphs. Precision and seasonality are the menu's hallmarks, with standouts including the Sommerlad chicken roasted in fig leaves with borlotti beans and preserved tomato, and the grilled plum and amaretto tart with pistachio ice cream. A drinks list focusing on small producers and exceedingly convivial atmosphere explain why this restaurant gets booked out weeks in advance.
