Akaiito Restaurant

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Akaiito is a Japanese fine dining restaurant in Flinders Lane. Premium globally-sourced and local ingredients are combined and grilled on a large, authentic Robatayaki grill, which uses imported Japanese coals.

A seasonal set degustation menu combines a variety of fresh seafood, meat, and vegetables. There's also a range of hot and cold dishes from the grill and sushi counter. The menu is frequently refreshed to include the best seasonal produce, so no two visits are ever the same.

The main showcase is the Robatayaki grill, accompanied by an open sushi show kitchen, where you can order quality sashimi and nigiri.

Hidden on the basement level is the speakeasy Underground Bar and Eatery. The bar is open for casual a la carte dining and Japanese-inspired drinks.
