Etsu is a Japanese izakaya which focuses on local amazing produce in our dishes which are designed to be shared amongst friends. We have one of the largest Japanese whisky collections on our back bar which we recommend served over hand cut ice or try one of our sakes or Japanese tap beers. Our sashimi is the freshest around and our fave place to sit is at the dining bar. Kanpaii!!

Etsu is my absolute favourite restaurant. Being Coeliac, it caters for me perfectly. Apart from a couple of dishes, everything is gluten free & totally safe for coeliacs!

We had a great experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. The service was wonderful, with attentive staff. The food was incredible, and the vibe was perfect for our gathering of 6 people.

We were on the Gold Coast on holidays and looking for a special place for a family birthday celebration. We had a rough day and this really picked us all up. A lovely experience and both teenage boys said it was the best restaurant we had been to. Would definitely go back.
