This restaurant is basically an institution in Sydney - it is randomly situated between a multistory carpark and a church, and the menu pretty much hasn't changed since the beginning of time.
But it is so fabulous - I guess why change what works well right?
I don't have the menu we ate for this one, but I can assume it was probably something very close to what it is now. You can find this here.
The booking process was really easy - I don't remember booking it months in advance either, which is always nice.
And the experience was lovely. It was relaxed, but it still felt special. We didn't feel rushed, the staff were great, and the overall feel of the space was delightful. We had a view of the zen garden from our table.
Tetsuyas is a place I would recommend the matching wines. We did a cocktail on arrival, and then did the matching wines from there. Be sure to figure out how you are getting home because you won't be driving by the end of this one haha.
A picture tells a thousand words, so here we go. An 8 course degustation (I think I have photos of most courses... menu descriptions of the dish I think it is copied off the website).
Roasted Scampi Tail with Vanilla
Confit of Ocean Trout with Salad of Apple and Witlof
Queensland Murray Cod with Confit Fennel and Young Garlic
Wagyu Beef Sirloin with Chestnut Mushroom and WA Truffle
Artsy shot of wine of the many wines?
Cucumber and Finger Lime Sorbet with Crème Fraiche
Unsure what this is... haha. But it was delicious.
Chocolate Stone with Honey & Milk (with birthday candle for me)
So what did we think.
This experience was amazing. From the second we walked through the door, to the moment we left, we were immersed in this experience that was relaxed yet exciting, and every dish was charming. They don't take you on an emotional journey with intense story telling, but the food is just tasty. What they do works, and I loved it.
