4 FOURTEEN RESTAURANT - SURRY HILLS

4 Fourteen -Carla Jones makes sure that everything is in order before dishes leave the kitchen

As I mentioned yesterday in my article on Colin Fassnidge, I was an early adopter of 4 Fourteen - aptly named after their address at 414 Bourke Street in Surry Hills. These photos were taken on the31 May 2012 at lunch time. Being on my own and the place being almost full, I was offered to sit at the bar which overlooks the kitchen. Couldn't have been happier! I don't normally frequent this type of establishment on my own for lunch on a working day, but I was just across the road visiting clients, and it was still in my birthday week, so that was my excuse! I only had a small plate of a ceviche type of fish, some bread, a glass of wine and a coffee, but it was perfectly satisfying and greatly executed in front of my eyes by a young English chef who was delighted to have a conversation with somebody who cares about the whole business of creating a dish in a perfect manner every time!
