Pioneering Sydney

In 2018 the restaurant is possibly experienced by more tourists than locals, at bit like the BridgeClimb or that wildlife park in Darling Harbour. Tetsuya's is way more appealing than an atrium of sad koalas, though.

The 1988 edition of The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide mentions a strange but exciting "kind of nouvelle cuisine" that was appearing at a new place called Ultimo's. "It comes as no surprise," said the Guide, "that the cook is in fact Japanese."

"Please enjoy these truffles from Penrith," says a suited waiter presenting crimson-pink Black Onyx beef tenderloin under a canopy of kalettes, fragrant perigords and morel jus. Penrith truffles, hang on, what? "Just kidding, they're from Manjimup in Western Australia." Aha.After almost 30 years, Tetsuya Wakuda's benchmark restaurant is a place of warm humour, linen tablecloths and straight-edge Japanese cooking threaded with French technique. In a time before Attica, Brae, Sepia and Quay, it was Tetsuya's attracting the global food community's attention.

There was some speculation Tetsuya's would return to the location after its redevelopment, but in recent times the chef and his team have been linked with other properties in Sydney.

The Kent Street building it calls home sold in 2018.

Wakuda, who was reported as a part-owner of the site, and other private joint owners, reaped $53 million from the sale.

Tetsuya's announced today it will serve its final confit of ocean trout at its Kent Street dining room in August 2023 due to the building "becoming a redevelopment site".

It also announced it was on the lookout for a new Sydney home, a search its team has been quietly undertaking for some time.

It also propelled Wakuda as a global culinary figure. He opened a short-lived restaurant in London, before a more successful and lasting push into Singapore with Waku Ghin.

In recent times he has opened the spin-off Wakuda eatery, both in Singapore and, in recent months, Las Vegas.

As the restaurant grew in stature and collected a trophy cabinet of awards, Tetsuya's became internationally recognised as one of Australia's new breed of food temples.

Food critic Leo Schofield praised Wakuda's skilful cooking when the venue opened in Rozelle, describing it "as good tasting as you'll find in any of the city's best BYOs, with the exception of Claude's".

"Tetsuya Wakuda fuses refined Japanese and classic French cuisines in this small but impeccably run and maintained Rozelle restaurant," he wrote at the time in The Sydney Morning Herald.

Review: Rediscover a trendsetter at Tetsuya's
​Tetsuya Wakuda expands to the US with opening of Las Vegas restaurant
Two-hatted Sydney fine-dining restaurant Tetsuya's will close next year, ending a 22-year run at its Kent Street home in the CBD.

The Tetsuya's story actually began even earlier, in 1989, when a young Japanese chef, Tetsuya Wakuda, opened his eponymous restaurant in Rozelle, relocating to the city in November 2000.
