Tetsuya’s Restaurant Menu Pictures and Photos - Japanese/French fine dining in Sydney

Last year I was fortunate enough to dine at Tetsuya’s Restaurant with Veron and her family. For all of you that don’t know Tetsuya’s, it is a Japanese & French cuisine fusion restaurant in Sydney run by the head chef Tetsuya Wakuda (duh). The restaurant serves a thirteen-course degustation menu, which is $195. For more info, go to Tetsuya's website.

This year it was awarded:
- the highest rating in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 (Three Chef's Hats)
- Restaurant of the Year and Best Fine Dining at the Restaurant & Catering Association Awards 2005

Most notoriously, is Tetsuya’s world restaurant rankings.
- In 2007 - 5th , Australia, Sydney
- In 2008 - 9th , Best Restaurant in Australasia

To view the other world ranking restaurants visit the hospitalitymagazine website.

Our favourite is definitely Mr Wakuda's signature dish, the confit of Petuna ocean trout served with konbu and fennel.

Okay enough of the writing ! here are pictures and photos of the dishes we had :
* Note the menu was from 2008, so it would have changed a bit now.

1) Pea with cream soup served in a little mug



2) Smoked Ocean Trout & Avruga Caviar with egg yolk cooked to perfection



3) Scampi in 3 different styles....start from middle and then right to left..the last one seemed the best


4) Scallop..even sipped all the juice...hehe


5) Tetsuya's signature dish - Confit of Petuna Tasmanian Ocean Trout with Konbu, Daikon & FennelSeasonal Green Salad...the topping gave it a rich flavour and the texture was like sashimi..yummm.... Veron and I's favourite !!!

6) Crab risotto with buck wheat

7) Grilled Fillet of Barramundi with Braised Baby Fennel

8) Twice-Cooked De-Boned Spatchcock with Caper & Olive Jus.... couldn't resist...oops took one bite of it already...haha

9) Lamb - we don't really like lamb to start with, so nothing much to say here..haha

10) Great dessert starter - Comte with Lentils - sweet lentil topped with cheese

11) Left is beetroot Sorbet, right is a mixture of many things haha...dip the bread well in...everyone tasted different things ( caramel ? egg ?)

12) Caramelised Fig with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream...the pastry was soo crunchy!

13) Chocolate Terrine with Mascarpone & Cognac Anglaise

14) Last dessert course...was so full afterwards...green tea mousse was the best

But hang in there !! We are going to Tetsuya's again next month. So be sure to catch up on the updates ! We will post up more photos and pictures of the heavenly delicious menu.
