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!!

    I was 2 friends from England and they both loved it. We chose from the set menu as our appetites aren't that big and loved everything we chose especially the beef at the end.

    Very expensive for what you get. My sashimi was very average and for a Japanese Restaurant it was unacceptable. The rest of the food was ok to good but very expensive. The service was exemplary.
