Akasiro

Akasiro sits on Cambridge Street in Collingwood, one of Melbourne's most vibrant and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved Japanese restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, authentic Japanese cooking with good drinks and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of accomplished spot that's become a genuine favourite for quality Japanese food.

The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Japanese food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a great Collingwood location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. Quality Japanese done well always draws a devoted crowd, and Akasiro has clearly won over a loyal following in the inner north.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 480 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Collingwood.
