Sake Flinders Lane Opens this Friday
The latest addition to the famed Saké Restaurant & Bar family opens at 11am this Friday, 15 April and the launch weekend promises to be a blast. From spectacular food and drinks, to stunning décor and a stellar DJ line-up, this dining and entertainment destination has everything covered.
Executive Chef Jean Paul Lourdes, with 3-star Michelin credentials spanning Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo, has created a menu that pays homage to the Saké family but reflects his signature style. The menu celebrates locally-sourced produce, including artisan cheeses and heritage bred chicken and pork. Core ingredients are crafted in-house, including traditional spices and seasonings such as togarashi and furikake, tofu and miso paste, which takes six months to make. Soy sauce and salts are house-smoked.
There are classic Saké dishes as well as those unique to Saké Flinders, including Yakitori (brined and slow cooked for a combined 24 hours), then glazed in tare and robata grilled over ancient binchotan charcoal. Late- night diners are catered for until 2am at the downstairs bar from Thursday to Saturday, with the bar closing at 3am.
