About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

    Amazing food, we went for the set menu which was perfect, the food was delicious and they catered for each person’s dietary requirements. The serving staff was really friendly and suggested some great options, and the sommelier was very helpful in choosing the right wine for us, letting us taste a couple of options so we could end up with the right bottle for us. The ambience is fun and buzzy and decor great too. We loved our experience at Etsu and will definitely be going again.

    No matter the day or time, the eating experience is always incredible at Etsu. The food is amazing, the staff are amazing, and while it is on the expensive side, it is absolutely worth it.
