Whenever my gorgeous brother comes to Sydney he is certainly a creature of habit. I don’t know how he manages it but it’s always around brunch time and he’s always got one thing on his mind – the pork sandwich at Flat White Cafe in Woollahra. Which I agree, is one of the best sandwiches in the world – up there with the jamon iberico bocadillo at Cafe Viena in the beautiful city of Barcelona.

With the lure of a ‘new and different’ pork sandwich, it took a bit of convincing but I persuaded Dom and my Dad to take me to the newly opened fouratefive for brunch last Friday. Just the thing for a girl feeling a little delicate after a decadent masterclass and dinner at Tetsuyas.

loved

service with a sense of humour – even got my Dad’s dad jokes
the pork sandwich – apparently very good but not quite up there with flat white in wollahra
the creamed corn – home made with polenta, sweetcorn and secret herbs and spices. so good with perfectly poached eggs
fun menu
my dad was very impressed with his iced coffee
big communal table
cute airy vibe

hand cut chips were a little undercooked
