Kagura Japanese Restaurant

Aussies love Japanese food, and really that should come as no surprise. Healthy, hearty, fresh and heavy on the seafood, Japanese dining has plenty to offer locals to Aus. At Kagura Japanese Restaurant, locals to Surry Hills can indulge in great Japanese food in a chilled cafe-style environment. Bringing together excellent food, chic dining and a perfect spot for Sydney’s über-cool hipsters to photograph their dinner, this local treasure in Foveaux Street is a great spot for food, drinks and hanging out with pals.

When you hear Japanese food, there’s a tendency to immediately think of sushi. And while there are plenty of popular sushi places in Surry Hills, this Foveaux Street cafe is choosing to forge a different path. Sydney’s Kagura Japanese Restaurant offers a selection of Japanese curries, complex and light barbecued skewers and a handful of other seafood dishes. Surry Hills is a bubbling hive of the young and restless, and this laidback cafe offers a chance to indulge in great food in the city.

While Kagura Japanese Restaurant is ostensibly a cafe, there’s more than a handful of influences from fine dining on display here too. The kitchen’s Japanese cuisine is seriously ambitious, as demonstrated by the beautifully plates of food served here consistently. For fresh seafood, locals to Foveaux Street are spoiled for choice, but Kagura Japanese Restaurant is a great option in Surry Hills, with fresh, line caught fish and shellfish in abundance, as well as the big flavours from the far east. Sydney’s young and trendy favour Kagura Japanese Restaurant for its great fine-dining food and its laidback vibe, and it's easy to see why.
