The Porteno team's acquisition earlier this year of a property on Enmore Road excited inner-west diners. While the owners of the Surry Hills restaurant said it isn't their intention to open up shop themselves, Short Black's intel suggested someone with strong Porteno links would.

That someone turns out to be Ibrahim Kasif, a senior chef in the Porteno kitchen. Kasif has just returned from a food tour of Istanbul with Porteno co-owner Elvis Abrahanowicz.

Kasif confirmed his involvement to Good Food and that the Enmore Road menu will be Turkish-inspired.

There are still some hoops to jump through to transform the site, which is best known as a hair salon, but this is one to watch.
