Paddington, NSW

Izy.Aki, nestled in Paddington's vibrant Oxford Street, offers an intimate 18-seat counter experience that reimagines traditional Japanese dining. Helmed by acclaimed chef Darren Templeman, the restaurant presents a dynamic omakase menu, featuring dishes like "The Egg"—a free-range hen egg filled with white onion purée, foie gras, smoked eel, and topped with golden trout roe. The menu evolves seasonally, emphasizing sustainability and premium Australian ingredients, including 9+ Wagyu beef and Tasmanian short spine uni. The warm timber decor and moody lighting create a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Osaka's hidden izakayas. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5 pm, reservations are recommended for this exclusive dining experience.
