In Redfern's Wunderlich Lane, R by Raita Noda offers an intimate 15-seat dining experience that blends Japanese culinary artistry with theatrical presentation. Helmed by renowned chef Raita Noda and his son, Momotaro, the restaurant presents a dynamic 10-course menu highlighting seasonal Australian produce through Japanese techniques. The space, designed by architect Koichi Takada, evokes a rainy Tokyo evening with mirrored ceilings, dim lighting, and black chain curtains. Guests are seated around an open kitchen, engaging directly with the chefs as they craft each dish, making dining here a captivating performance.
