Ishizuka

Experience Japanese sophistication at acclaimed chef Tomotaka Ishizuka’s 16-seat fine diner. Ishizuka brings kaiseki – Japanese haute cuisine – to Bourke Street with a seasonal, degustation-style 11-course set menu. Expect amuse-bouche to be followed by ‘zensai’ (small pretty things), then sashimi, sushi, grilled courses and delicate desserts. The food is intricate and the setting intimate: pop this one in the special occasion file. You should book ahead, too . Accolades include two hats from Good Food Guide 2023 and a place on its Best of 2022 list.
