Four Seasons Hotel Sydney will launch Mode Kitchen & Bar in July 2017 with Francesco Mannelli as head chef, adding another contemporary dining option to the city’s burgeoning CBD dining scene.

Located on the ground floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, near Sydney’s beautiful Circular Quay, the new dining concept will strike a balance between casual bistro and fine dining.

The venue can seat 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. Chef Mannelli has created a menu that delivers simple dishes drawing from his rich experience in Australia. The best 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.

Renowned Sydney design team Luchetti Krelle has overhauled the former Pei Modern space to create a restaurant drawing from the glamour of the 1920s, featuring velvet, polished brass, marble and leather finishes. The restaurant has also been enclosed by fluted glass to create an intimate dining room setting.

Mode Kitchen & Bar will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week from mid-July.
