Kushiro Fusion Cuisine

Kushiro Fusion Cuisine sits on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved restaurant specialising in Japanese-influenced fusion cuisine, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed cooking with good drinks and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of accomplished spot that brings something a little different to Fitzroy's lively dining scene.

The appeal is that combination of quality, creative fusion food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful atmosphere in a prime Brunswick Street location, ideal for a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. A restaurant with a genuine point of difference that's nailed both its cooking and its atmosphere really stands out, and Kushiro has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 300 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 Fitzroy.
