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!!

Tayta is serving the Nikkei cuisine which is a fusion of Peruvian flavours using Japanese techniques. We use the freshest of produce and highest grade of Fresh Fish and Wagyu Kobe Beef available so we can offer our guests the best version of the Nikkei cuisine. Tayta is known for it's ambience of lively music and beautiful art and offers a memorable dining experience that gives a feeling of being somewhere other than the Gold Coast. We have a full serviced Bar, with a creative range of Pisco Sours and other deliciously crafted cocktails as well as beer, wine and sake. Don't forget to try our signature dish, the Tuna Tiradito alongside our Hibiscus Pisco Sour.

Booked here based on the reviews and certainly was not disappointed! Staff were attentive and polite with our waiter being patient and having a sense of humour when I said I couldn't read the menu (lighting was a little low so he turned on the light on his phone- LOL). Food was amazing and generous servings we even got to take away what we didn't manage to devour! Will certainly be back!!!

We chose the $85 set menu for our Christmas luncheon get together. Being able to sample so many of the amazing dishes was a great choice. Beautiful, fresh food and incredible flavours left us with a delightful lingering aftertaste. As a person with coeliac disease | was catered for, and there was no issue at all, which is wonderful. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and warm and friendly. As for the ambience, overlooking beautiful Burleigh Heads beach is a spectacular backdrop for this lovely restaurant .
