THE TASTER
ANSON SMART; THE FROZEN FOUNTAIN
You might not think that farm-to-table still had the power to excite, but chef Danielle Alvarez, formerly of Northern California’s Chez Panisse, is doing just that at Fred’s. Opened in late 2016 in Sydney’s Paddington neighborhood, the restaurant is doing first-class work with pristine seasonal ingredients, most of them cooked over the open kitchen’s Tuscan grills or in the wood-fired oven.
