On a
rainy day in Redfern what better place to be than the Patagonian Toothfish
restaurant. The name is enough to entice you.
We
were there for lunch on a quiet Saturday, but at night the best table is in
front of the fire – perfect for a cold winter night.
On
warmer days or nights there is outdoor seating under cover where you can watch
the passers by.
Next
door is the Woolpack Hotel which we went to after lunch for a cleansing glass
of wine (or two).
The
restaurant is small and intimate. Hong Kong born, Mauritian raised owner Steven
specialises in light curries and tapas which have been influenced by French
Mauritian flavours.
I moved to Redfern a year ago and found it to be so
different to my initial impression. Ten years ago, I would not have ventured
into certain areas and would not have felt safe walking the streets at night –
but I do now.
What we have here is a fabulous change occurring, not
gentrification but the buzzy feeling of an exciting, energy filled hub of the
city.
The shutters are coming off the shops (goodbye Beirut) and
the sun can shine in.
Great time to be here – lots of things to share with you
