Fred's x Max Coen | Vivid Chef Series

The allure of flame-cooking, seasonal produce and London cool meets a Sydney farm-to-table favourite in the cosy, rustic setting of Fred’s.

Max Coen of Dorian, the Notting Hill hotspot, joins forces with Ben Greeno, executive chef of Paddington institution Fred’s, for a unique series of four dinners. This bold but simple menu heroes both Max’s mastery of wood-fire flavours and single-ingredient focus and Ben’s refined simplicity. The result is a celebration of quality ingredients, precise techniques and the joy of gathering for a delicious, honest meal. All set in the welcoming ambiance of Fred’s, which combines the homely warmth of a farmhouse with a fine-dining edge.

Max brings a wealth of experience and ambition to the pans at two-hatted Fred’s. His impressive CV already lists two-Michelin starred London restaurants, Ikoyi and Kitchen Table, as well as three-starred Frantzén in Stockholm. Coupled with Ben’s flair for comfort and elegance, this homage to minimal intervention cooking and the best NSW produce is not-to-be-missed.
