Robata

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Robata Japanese Grill takes inspiration from a centuries-old Japanese grilling technique. The menu features a selection of yakitori and kushiyaki skewers, all cooked to perfection over Robata's custom-built charcoal grill. There's also sashimi, nigiri, and select cuts of premium dry aged beef.

Robata’s neon lights and street signs contrast its minimalist interior. Sleek contemporary elements surround the space, transporting guests to an exhilarating Tokyo streetscape.

The main dining room serves as a fun and casual dining spot for any occasion. From long boozy lunches to spontaneous catch-ups.

Ideal for date nights, or punters after a few skewers and a pint of Asahi before heading to the MCG.
