Ichigo

Best Known For

Miso beer lamb ribs, pistachio chimichurri, fried saltbush and rice.

Expect an exquisite fusion of flavours to tantalise taste buds at Japanese-inspired Melbourne restaurant Ichigo on Franklin Street in the heart of the city. Find a light, bright and breezy vibe indoors of white and blond wood table settings, softly glowing paper lanterns and potted greenery, ideal for lingering over a leisurely breakfast or romantic evening rendezvous. Stop in for brunch with your bestie and devour burnt avocado burrata toast with a poached egg, shokupan, basil vinaigrette, yuzu lemon gel and a seed crisp; or wrap your hands around a pork cutlet katsu sando with tonkatsu sauce and aioli. Come nightfall, starters such as chicken karaage with Japanese tartar sauce and onigiri entice diners, before slow-cooked miso-glazed salmon with grated radish, ginger and rice.
