Four Seasons Hotel Sydney celebrates Mother's Day with exclusive dining experiences across MODE Kitchen & Bar, Lounge 32 and The Art of Cake. At the heart of the celebrations, MODE Kitchen & Bar will present a five-course lunch inspired by chefs' childhood memories and the dishes their mothers loved to cook. Guests can also enjoy an indulgent Afternoon Tea Buffet at Lounge 32 or take home a limited-edition 'Queen of Hearts' cake from The Art of Cake.
MODE Kitchen & Bar's five-course Mother's Day lunch menu is led by Executive Chef Gaurav Bide; Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Blanc and Senior Sous Chef Nathan Barone. The menu is anchored in nostalgia and personal storytelling, reinterpreting family dishes through contemporary fine dining artistry. Priced at $165 per person, the experience includes a welcome glass of sparkling wine on arrival and a luxury gift for every mum by Parfums de Marley.
For an elegant afternoon alternative, the hotel's exclusive executive club Lounge 32 will host a refined Afternoon Tea Buffet featuring an array of sweet and savoury creations by the MODE Kitchen & Bar culinary team. Every Mum will receive a thoughtfully curated gift by Parfums de Marley. Priced at $125 per adult, $65 for children under 12. Bookings are available across two sittings.
Rounding out the celebrations is a limited-edition Mother's Day Cake from The Art of Cake. Finely crafted by French-born Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Blanc as a tribute to his mother, the Queen of Hearts Cake ($120) is a thoughtful way to celebrate beyond the table.
The Story on the Plate
MODE Kitchen & Bar's Mother's Day menu brings to life cherished moments from the Chefs childhood kitchens with the following highlight dishes:
Kingfish Crudo
Radish, mandarin and buttermilk seasoned with champagne
Chef Nathan Barone
“Living close to the champagne region, my mother used to prepare raw fish with a Champagne sauce and citrus notes”
Braised Beef Short Ribs
Potato puree dutch carrots baby onions and mushrooms, red wine jus
Chef Nathan Barone
“One of my favourite dishes, inspired by the meals my mum used to cook for Sunday family gatherings, Boeuf bourguignon.”
Apple Crumble with Vanilla
Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Blanc
“The smell of apple crumble takes me back to my childhood. My mother never followed a recipe; it was always made with heart and in every crumble, there's a little piece of her.”
