Why it's worth checking out
Izakaya Mitto sits on George Street in The Rocks, Sydney's historic harbourside precinct beside the Harbour Bridge. A Japanese izakaya, it brings vibrant, share-style Japanese dining to one of the city's most atmospheric areas — the kind of lively, characterful spot that pairs flavour-packed small plates with a good drinks offering for a fun, sociable meal.
The appeal is that combination of quality izakaya-style Japanese small plates, a good drinks offering and a characterful setting in the heart of historic The Rocks, ideal for a casual dinner, drinks and shared dishes or a fun night out. The share-style format and the lovely heritage surrounds make it a great spot, and Izakaya Mitto has clearly won over both locals and visitors.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Rocks restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or keen to settle in for a round of izakaya plates and drinks in The Rocks.
