Four Seasons Hotel Sydney has announced the launch of Mode Kitchen & Bar this July with Francesco Mannelli (ex Balla, est. and Uccello) as head chef.
Mode Kitchen & Bar will balance casual bistro and fine dining.
Renowned Sydney design team, Luchetti Krelle has overhauled the former Pei Modern space to create a restaurant drawing from the glamour of the 1920s – velvet, polished brass, marble and leather finishes all hark back to the grand days of art deco hotels. The restaurant has also been enclosed by fluted glass to create a more intimate dining room.
Mode Kitchen & Bar seats up to 200 guests across a mix of seating options including stools at the new central bar, a chef’s table, banquettes, lounge seating and two private dining spaces.
Mannelli has created a menu that delivers simple dishes executed exceptionally well, drawing from his experience in Australia. Seasonal produce is a given, with a roster of Mannelli’s favourite produce already on board including calamari from South Australia, New Zealand scampi and fresh truffles from Tasmania.
Mode Kitchen & Bar is located on the ground floor of Four Seasons Hotel Sydney and will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week from mid-July.
