Marque Review

Chef Mark Best insists on exemplary service and great food at this elegant Surry Hills restaurant, awarded Sydney's best restaurant in 2011 by the well-thumbed "Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide." Few chefs approach French flavors with such passion and dedication (and stints alongside three-star demigods Alain Passard in Paris and Raymond Blanc in England haven't done any harm either). Best's creative fare includes blue swimmer crab with almond jelly, almond gazpacho and sweet corn, and roasted Muscovy duck with carrots, Kimchi pear, and nori. The night course-degustation (A$150) will transport you to foodie heaven, as will the three-course à la carte meal (A$95). The best deal in town, though, is the Friday-only set-menu three-course lunch for A$45. There are no individual à la carte prices and a minimum of three courses.
