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!!

    We have eaten here when on holidays a number of times and it’s always great. The only disappointment is that the eggplant has been taken off the menu. Thanks for another delicious meal.

    Lovely to return to this delicious restaurant and the food was as good as I remembered! If I can recommend one dish in particular it’s the Tooth fish, seriously, don’t miss out on this fish! Completely delish!!!

    We had the $110 Omakaese set menu. Every dish looked and tasted amazing! Standouts for me were the wagyu striploin and the tuna maki. The food was fantastic, service was great, loved the ambience too - its very dark and private, definitely more of an adult dining vibe than somewhere you'd take the kids. Awesome dining experience. Wow.
