Âpé Chilean Nikkei Restaurant

Âpé sits on the Boardwalk on Honeysuckle Drive in the Honeysuckle precinct, Newcastle's lively waterfront dining strip on the harbour. A distinctive Chilean-Nikkei restaurant — blending Chilean cuisine with Japanese (Nikkei) influences — it brings something genuinely different to the scene, combining creative, flavour-packed cooking and good drinks with a relaxed setting and lovely harbour-side views.

The appeal is that combination of inventive, distinctive Chilean-Nikkei food, a good drinks offering and a great waterfront Honeysuckle location, ideal for an interesting dinner, a meal with friends, a date or drinks by the harbour. A restaurant with a unique culinary identity in a beautiful waterside spot really stands out, and Âpé has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 420 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table by the water on Honeysuckle Drive.
