The Restaurant

Tetsuya Wakuda has refurbished a heritage-listed site in the city to create what he has described as his a dream restaurant and what many others have called Sydney's most unique dining experience. Located at 529 Kent Street, Sydney, Tetsuya's Restaurant offers private dining rooms for group bookings and two larger main dining rooms overlooking a Japanese garden.

Tetsuya's cuisine is unique, based on the Japanese philosophy of natural seasonal flavours, enhanced by classic French technique and the freshest possible ingredients. It is here on Kent Street, in Tetsuya's personal upstairs 'Experimentation' kitchen, that Tetsuya develops his meals in a constant effort to create a new and interesting culinary experience.

Via Tetsuya's renowned degustation set menu, diners are offered a frequently changing array of ten courses. A typical meal could start with a plate of hors d'oevres - a gazpacho with spiced tomato sorbet , west Australian marron with asparagus and truffle mayonnaise, tartare of tuna with fresh wasabi, marinated fillet of trevally with preserved lemon set on sushi rice and tataki of venison with rosemary and honey. Tetsuya's signature dish follows, confit of ocean trout served with unpasteurised ocean trout roe, followed by double cooked de-boned spatchcock with braised daikon and bread sauce, followed by a grilled fillet of grain fed beef with sansho & shiitake mushrooms.

Courses are planned to build upon one another, careful consideration is given to each offering to ensure that it perfectly compliments the last. This process culminates in Tetsuya's amazing desserts, including an orange, honey and black pepper sorbet served prior to a blue cheese bavarois. A meal could end with early season berries with orange and Grand Marnier jelly and champagne ice cream, a floating island with vanilla and praline anglaise and a flourless chocolate cake with a bitter chocolate sorbet and orange ice cream.

A complete encounter, Tetsuya's offers one of Sydney's most remarkable wine lists. Tetsuya's distinctive style can be matched with wines that complement the menu, available by the glass.

Tetsuya's ten-course degustation menu is $195* (GST inclusive) per person, the accompanying wine course is $90* (GST inclusive) per person.
