Just Open: Four in Hand by Guillaume

With Irish chef Colin Fassnidge having departed Paddington's Four in Hand, his place in the kitchen has been taken by another chef from Stan Sarris and Rodney Adler's old Banc-GPO stable. Guillaume Brahimi, who has joined the establishment as a business partner and culinary advisor, has enlisted Darrell Felstead as the new head chef.

It has reopened as Four in Hand by Guillaume. Just metres from Brahimi's flagship restaurant, Guillaume, the Four In Hand's opening menu includes a classic duck liver parfait with pear chutney and toast ($15), Balmain bug with red capsicum sugo and soba noodles ($24) and mains such as snapper with parsley and mussels ($34) and lamb rump with confit of baby eggplant, hummus and mint ($36).

Snacks such as grilled octopus with smoked mayonaise, romesco sauce and olive crisps ($16) and a prawn sandwich with iceberg lettuce, cucumber and Marie Rose sauce ($16).
