Samurai Japanese Restaurant
Samurai Japanese Cafe is more a restaurant than a cafe, but regardless of that minor technicality the food is delicious. As the name suggests, this eatery specialises in serving fresh, flavoursome, well-presented Japanese cuisine. Favourites on the menu include the soft shell crabs, salmon tataki and of course, the sashimi. Meanwhile, the ambience is warm and cosy, with lighting that glows being emanated from behind ornate lanterns and umbrellas. If you want to dine out with the children in Balmain, you will be pleased to know that Samurai is family friendly.

We also ordered a soft shell crab dish which came with a beautiful vinegar dipping sauce, as well as an eggplant dish with a sweet miso sauce. Mmmm...
