Christmas brings a special kind of energy to The Rocks. The markets fill the cobblestone streets, the harbour lights glow beautifully and people gather to celebrate the season in one of Sydney’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
This year, there is something new to enjoy. MITTO, a modern Japanese izakaya, opens in mid December and offers a fresh way to experience Christmas dining in The Rocks.
A New Christmas Tradition in The Rocks
December is full of catchups, lunches and festive outings. Many people want something different from the traditional Christmas menu and MITTO offers exactly that. Our food is light, seasonal and made for sharing, which suits Sydney’s warm and vibrant holiday atmosphere.
MITTO brings together Japanese craftsmanship and Australian ingredients to create dishes that feel refined but easy to enjoy with the people who matter to you.
Festive Plates Made for Sharing
Our menu is built around small plates, fresh seafood and comforting flavours. During Christmas, you can expect:
* Premium Australian wagyu skewers
* Fresh and delicate nigiri
* Japanese tapas plates for groups
* Seasonal specials for our opening month
* Curated sake flights for a festive touch
These dishes create a relaxed and memorable Christmas dining experience without the heaviness of traditional holiday food.
A Warm and Inviting Setting
MITTO is located inside a heritage 1890s building on George Street, only minutes from Circular Quay. Japanese minimalism softens the character of the old stone walls, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere that feels perfect for Christmas gatherings.
A subtle Path of Light guides you through the space, adding a gentle sense of warmth to your dining experience.
Perfect for Every Kind of Christmas Celebration
Whether you are planning a friends’ dinner, a family outing, a work lunch or a special date, MITTO offers a space that suits every type of gathering.
* Friends can explore Japanese tapas and sake
* Families can share fresh seafood and wagyu
* Couples can enjoy a warm and intimate atmosphere
* Teams can celebrate the year with relaxed and thoughtful dining
