Broadsheet’s Dine Out festival is back for 2026 and Hot Listed restaurant Yugen Dining is on board. The glamorous South Yarra basement has always known just what to do with seafood – the menu is largely Japanese, after all – but for one night only it’s going all-in on seafood, shellfish and saké, with paired cocktails along for the ride.
You’ll get a four-course set menu that’s all about seafood cooked with Japanese techniques. Think braised abalone, scallops, garlic-dressed crab, bluefin tuna cuts and a heap more. Accompany this with saké and bespoke cocktails, mixed specifically for Dine Out.
