Minato

Enjoy some of the best Japanese food in Sydney alongside iconic views over Manly Beach at this relaxed restaurant and sake bar.

Minato is renowned for freshly made and beautifully-presented bites and great vibes. Beautifully designed with a mixture of tables, cabanas and an al fresco balcony, this restaurant is a stylish setting for a delicious dinner and sake or two.

The open kitchen is overseen by the chef Jin, who is known for sourcing quality ingredients and demanding exacting standards from his talented team.

The menu includes a huge choice of sumptuous sushi and sashimi, small plates, wagyu steaks and crispy tempura, as well as a mouth-watering selection of sides. The soft shell crab futomaki is a must, as are octopus balls with sweet soy.

An experienced bar manager is on hand to advise on sake pairings for your meal and there are more than 12 to choose from. There is also a large selection of beers, both on tap and bottled, as well as fine wines and classic cocktails.

Although it’s brand new, Minato is already making waves in Sydney’s dining scene. Book it while you can.
