Budget Fine Dining in Sydney

Marque
Marque’s Friday prix-fix menu is arguably the best value lunch in town. Mark Best, one of Sydney’s leading chefs, pushes the boundaries to create truly inspired dishes, using only the finest produce. While a ten course degustation will set you back $150, the Friday lunch set-menu (which changes weekly) is a steal at $45 for 3 courses.
