Chef Mark Best is hoping the best things are worth the wait. Nine months after we first reported Best was in negotiations with the Four Seasons to open a Sydney branch of his Melbourne restaurant Pei Modern, the deal is finally across the line.

Best jokes it was a long courtship that wasn't consummated on the first date. Pei Sydney opens October 15 at The Woods restaurant site, with some design tweaks to follow next year.

Pei Melbourne chef Matt Geranchis has relocated to Sydney, and while a few classics will travel north, Best says the menu will be Sydney focused.
