Yakitori Chaco Bar

Potts Point’s moody, bustling izakaya—Yakitori Chaco Bar. Forget the standard dinner routine. Sydney’s discerning palate-chasers pack this transportive room for one reason: charcoal-blistered perfection. Those dialed into the city's culinary heartbeat know to secure a spot at the immersive chef’s counter. Watch Chef Terry’s crew work the binchotan grill, turning out fiercely savory skewers—think juicy enoki and asparagus kissed with intense smoke. The curated banquet menu? An absolute masterclass in authentic Japanese dining. Diners constantly tip off their friends about the silky spanner crab chawanmushi and a surprisingly addictive house jerky. Finish with their famed matcha puff—crispy pastry stuffed with custard, matcha ice cream, and sweet red bean. Authentic, loud, and entirely unapologetic. Order some unique sake and settle in.
