To Infinity and beyond: Mark Best takes over Sydney Tower's revolving restaurant
Nine years after Mark Best closed Marque restaurant in Surry Hills, the chef will mark his Sydney return with a high-wire act: rewriting the script on revolving restaurants. Infinity by Mark Best will take its first spin atop Sydney Tower on Tuesday, August 12. One of the country's most celebrated chefs, Best said he was keen to challenge preconceptions about high-altitude dining. 'There's the old maxim, 'The higher you are, the worse the food',' he said. 'I'd never thought about [Sydney Tower] as a location, but the more I did, the more it excited me.' Best is enthusiastic about the new digs, which are 81 floors above the Sydney CBD. 'You're the first to see sunrise and the last to see sunset,' he said. 'When people come into the city they want to get to the highest point.' Infinity by Mark Best won't be like the fine-dining Marque, or his one-time spin-off, Pei Modern. 'It's something completely different,' he said. Best is already test-driving dishes for the menu, with steamed bar cod with fish milk and fermented, fried kipfler potatoes, scallops with sea foam and sea urchin crumpets all appearing on the opening menu.
