Oft-overlooked Osaka should truly not be missed. With big-city excitement and small-town warmth, we love it more and more every time we go.
A teppanyaki restaurant, though with a luxurious twist. This spot is innovative and creative, putting their own little twist on the classic menu. Come prepared to share a few dishes: from nama-fu, salmon tartare, to the more classic pork okonomiyaki, you'll want to discover it all.
Sake and sushi: name a better duo! Serving the freshest fish from blue crab, monkfish, octopus, to Harika squid there is an endless amount to try. So go with an empty stomach and an open mind, as Masaru sushi won't let you down!
Though the cobbled streets of Italy may be geographically far, Ristorante Quintocanto makes la dolce vita feel incredibly close by. With a tasting menu ranging foie gras, to cutlassfish dumplings, to a pappardelle with a rich ragu sauce, head here for some seriously good food, and a fabulous ambience.
It's unassuming and wonderfully unfussy, though like lots of our hidden spots Rodda Group serves one of the tastiest Sri Lankan curries we've had. You have to try their 'Plate Lunch'; it's the only way to sample as much as the menu as you possibly can.
