Tanuki, by the team behind Matteo Sydney.

Tanuki is the multispace Double Bay venue that promises an unparalleled Izakaya food offering - headed by Chef Ken Wee Lee (ex-Zuma Dubai, Sushi e) - complete with a raw bar, internal courtyard, ever-changing Japanese cocktail menu and lounge for late night dining.

A Tanuki is a trickster animal spirit in Japanese folklore, renowned for its humorous pranks and mischievous yet endearing personality, leading people to eat and drink plenty. A night with Tanuki is entertaining, indulgent and even a little debaucherous - leaving you wondering what happened and thinking Tanuki made me do it.
