Luc San

This izakaya-style eatery is inspired by the Izakaya-style custom of enjoying drinks with small plates of food. Luke Mangan takes that concept and adds a French twist at Luc San, his casual neighbourhood establishment hidden behind the iconic Coca-Cola sign in Potts Point.

The menu at Luc San is designed for sharing, with an extensive choice of snacks, small plates and large plates. Prepare to be transported straight to Tokyo with the likes of the soba noodles including peanut, sesame and dijon rayu and the Wagyu steak tartare with crispy brioche, wasabi leaf and black garlic. The large plates consist of meaty and fishy bites, including the eye-catching dark dengaku eggplant boasting coriander, black garlic, and sauce vierge. The apple sansho pork with salted plum is unmissable, as is the grilled market fish topped with smoked mussels and seaweed beurre blanc.

Its cosmopolitan selection of drinks is every bit as impressive as the menu, featuring rare sakes, creative cocktails and an eclectic selection of exceptional wines.

With an understated atmosphere, this casual and relaxed Potts Point spot prides itself on being a neighbourhood meeting place where good conversation and great drinks flow in abundance.
