I could not have been more disappointed with this restaurant. We had obviously heard and read great things, and appreciate fine dining. The previous night we had enjoyed a spectacular degustation with matching wine at Altitude, and were very excited to see if it could be bettered. It was my fiance's first visit to Australia, and I wanted a special... more

I have dined at Tetsuya's twice now (1 year apart) and both times were just fantastic. Each course was so special and unique and absolutely beautiful in presentation and flavour. I would have to agree and say that the menu does not change much, in fact out of the 13 courses, only 2 were different. But, we looked up the... more

In Jeremy Clarkson style, some say that this is the best restaurant in Sydney. Others say that it is one of the top 20 best in the world. All we know is that it is located in 569 Kent Street and you need to book months and months in advance. Although I've read some criticism (bread's too hard - yes,... more

High quality menu, but it does come with a price tag! Slightly disappointed with the lack of innovation in the dishes and the menu had hardly changed between 1 and 2 visit (4 months apart). more

Little disappointed. Thought that it would be much better than the hype. The food seemed a little confused and not fused properly. more

Just incredible - simple, perfect execution. Gorgeous location and wonderful staff. Get the matching wines. And the oysters. And prepare for 4+ hours of having your mind and palate blown. more

WOW - a unique and entertaining dining experience. A wonderfully adventurous degustation menu that is delivered over several hours with wines matched to each of the main courses... This is like nothing else I have ever experienced. Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful experience. more

The restaurant being number one here and being recommended in several maganzines who deal with nice food it was a must go for my girlfriend and me and luckily our concierge at the Observatory Hotel (see review there) was able to get as a table. So we arrived with high expectations. Food: The food was pretty good overall. Some courses... more

The wife and I are relatively "new" to the foodie circuit. Fortunately, though, we've already been to some amazing places, including one of the temples, the French Laundry. We both were impressed with Tetsuya's food. Very tasty, perfectly presented. It was really well done. So if you are in Sydney this is the best place to see how good things... more
