It doesn’t get much more delicious than the exquisite food served at Kanade restaurant in Clarence Street, Sydney.
The restaurant, which opened in May earlier this year, provides a taste of Tokyo from the heart of Sydney’s CBD.
Kanade lives up to its name which means harmony and beautiful sounds of instruments with its theatrical decor with its open kitchen at the centre of the restaurant which allows you to witness the cooking in action, particularly the skilled preparation of your sushi.
“We wanted to create a space where people can come together over good food, drinks, and conversation all day long,” said Erick, the restaurant owner. “Our goal is to bring a piece of Tokyo to Sydney’s CBD, with a fusion of the best of east and west.”
