20 Best Restaurants in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"Kaiseki, a kind of Japanese degustation menu with a strong seasonal focus, has lately taken root in Melbourne, and Ishizuka is doing it better than anyone. This is delicate, thoughtful food steeped in tradition and served in a humble 16-seat basement space in the CBD. No two nights here are the same, but some themes are consistent: seemingly low-key dishes may in fact be luxurious; the custards and jellies are transcendental; there's always a seafood soup; and the sashimi shows off local fish like snapper. Service here is an art form as finely calibrated as the kaiseki itself. Better yet, it's also utterly unobtrusive." - Dan F. Stapleton

A great experience from the moment you walk in. Everything from the food, presentation and service was amazing. The Kaiseki menu was a perfect amount of food with each dish carefully prepared and explained upon serving. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful dining experience at Ishizuka. The food was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Each dish felt like a thoughtful work of art, with delicate flavors and a beautiful sense of balance. The pacing between courses was perfect, enough time to appreciate each one without feeling rushed. I highly recommend the non-alcoholic drink pairing, it elevated each course and was absolutely worth it. We will definitely be returning!! One small note: we arrived less than 10 minutes early, as did a few others, and it felt a bit awkward having to stand and wait to be seated. It would be great if there were a more welcoming protocol for early arrivals.

I visited Ishizuka for the Omurice event on March 25, and it was fantastic. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so inviting. I will definitely be back to try more from their menu. It’s a great place for anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. Highly recommend.

Loved the Kaiseki winter menu at Ishizuka. The miso soup with grilled mochi was my favourite; warm and full of flavour, perfect for the winter weather. The wagyu was also amazing.

Absolutely flavour and texture was 💯 across all the courses. The ingredients, thought and detail in plating, taste and service was impeccable. I was treated to many seasonal ingredients that were new for me and cooking technique I've never seen before. As someone who enjoys trying new flavours, this was a experience like no other. Worth a visit at least once for a special occasion!

Hands down, one of the best dining experiences in Melbourne. From food to service, everything was impeccable. Highly recommend the Toro Nigiri along with the add-ons which were the Toro Gunkan, Salmon Roe Gunkan. The courses progressed each time in terms of taste and presentation. The Non- Alcoholic pairing was great with the menu. We mentioned briefly that this was an early Valentines Dinner and they were kind and thoughtful enough to give us an extra dessert course at the end of our meal. We were very full and satisfied by the end of our dinner.

Ishizuka offers an immersive kaiseki experience that showcases meticulous craftsmanship and understated elegance. The 11-course menu is a thoughtfully curated journey, with highlights such as the delicate sashimi and the indulgent A5 Wagyu with truffled pumpkin. Each dish is a masterclass in balance and technique, while the serene ambiance adds to the sense of occasion. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, guiding diners through the experience with precision. While the meal is undoubtedly exquisite, the high price tag places it firmly in the realm of special occasions. Nonetheless, Ishizuka is an exceptional dining experience that truly elevates Japanese cuisine in Melbourne.
