Warm and welcoming, Fred’s, on Paddington’s bustling Oxford Street, feels like you’ve stepped into a friend’s rustic country home – the natural setting for head chef Danielle Alvarez’s signature farm-to-table cooking. Seasonality, locally-sourced produce and a sense of occasion come together in Danielle’s intimate open kitchen. An approach that was ingrained in her during her time working with the legendary Alice Waters at San Francisco institution Chez Panisse. Take a seat at the marble-topped kitchen counter and you’ll find Danielle and her team calmly working with the season’s freshest produce, as they cook on an open-fire hearth.
