We've just come home from our first wedding anniversary, celebrated at Raquels, and we loved it. Monday night's $6 tapas and $15/L Sangria meant that the value was fantastic, though we chose to order one dish (the pork belly - wonderful!) from the non-special menu as well. We'd been planning to have dessert too, but after $40 worth of tapas (two people) we were just too full.

The service was really exceptional, and loved the decor. As for the food, we'll have to come back, because we're really keen to try the $25 deal as well.

My favourite Japanese restaurant in Sydney. Don't plan to come here with a large group as they don't take reservations. You will end up waiting on the street until your number is served, but it's worth the wait! Great food that doesn't cost the earth. The service is good, a little stilted if your Japanese isn't better than their English but fast and attentive. Just make sure any specific requests are 100% understood. Now I just need to find a bottle shop that sells the Tsunami Sake cocktail that they stock!
