Casual Sunday brekkie turned very unpleasant. Fourthchild has reopened under new management and apparently also a new chef. We were asked how everything was and when my husband was honest and said we were a bit disappointed, we were asked why. We thought they might take some feedback. Not received well at all. No interest in what we had to say and that was made very clear when we were promptly cut us off to ask for our money. We were stunned to silence and weren't able to say another word (some of which would have actually been good). We just paid and left, absolutely horrified by the rude behaviour. We ordered a breakfast parfait and a Potato Galette that contained smoked salmon with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Tasted nice, sauce done well... just the eggs were hard (overcooked) and they obviously ran out of English muffins so we got just one half piece of white toast. The parfait however was way too sweet, even sharing it we only ate half. The menu feels exactly like you're at the Coffee Club which was our biggest disappointment. The old Fourthchild menu had us coming back regularly because it was so unique and well executed. I really want to give 1 star, only because of how offended we were but that wouldn't be fair. On the upside, our tall, bearded waiter (sorry I didn't get his name) was lovely and apologetic about the wait time and friendly. Shame they don't have more of him on staff! And the only other thing I will say is they now have a lunch menu and this looks quite good. Its a bit different and sounds yum - shame I won't be back to try it now.

Hands down the best restaurant in Ipswich. My absolute favourite. Fourthchild has a very small menu, maybe 6-8 dishes available for lunch but all are made with local fresh ingredients that are sourced from the markets that very day. They have an utterly amazing array of cakes and sweets. The whole vibe of the place is modern and quirky but very down to earth and friendly at the same time. I love their homemade lemonade! Their is nothing else like it! And the raspberry mudcake was like heaven in your mouth. I would eat here every day if I could. Excellent value for money.
