Etsu Izakaya

Top choice in Gold Coast


Transport yourself to Tokyo at this mysterious and moody yet fun and vibrant space reminiscent of a Japanese izakaya. Prop up the bar or nab a seat under the curved feature wall to sample share dishes from fresh sashimi and Wagyu steak to delicious kushiyaki skewers charred on the Robata grill. Look for the red lantern.

There's also an excellent list of Japanese-inspired cocktails using matcha and umeshu (plum wine), while whiskey and sake lovers are well catered for.
