Enso Japanese Food Salon

In the running for the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’d never have expected this place in Byron Bay.
So, it’s modern Japanese cuisine. But modern is not so much new technique or dishes as it’s swapping local ingredients for harder to find traditional stuff. Picture a perfectly cooked fish atop a bed of foraged Byron Bay sea greens.
I added the evening’s menu to Unilocal @
We tried:
* Edamame with Murray River Salt — done perfectly. very fresh beans, perfect amount of salt.
* Sashimi — cut perfectly, matched with excellent complementary acids.
* Barramundi — quite possibly the best cooked fish I’ve ever had.
* Shiko-​no salad — really amazing. I thought the beach greens were just amazing. Then I head out surfing in the morning and realize they’re the plant growing all over the dunes. How is nobody else serving these?
