Tiny restaurants, though still somewhat rare, are on the rise in Victoria as patrons seek less conventional dining experiences.

These types of restaurants are usually booked out months in advance and seats are relatively difficult to secure – Chae has become so popular that it randomly selects guests through a lottery system for bookings. Some venues also require a deposit to secure a spot: Underbar requires a deposit of $210 per head.

“At the end of the night, everyone’s just friends. It’s a cosy experience that is something I think only Japan has on offer because of the limited space,” he said. “I didn’t have any knowledge on this [registration],” Cheah said. “They [customers] were really just paying for the ingredients, so I wasn’t really sure if that was illegal or not.”He complied with the council, cancelling all future bookings immediately and posting a shutdown update on his socials, leaving Teishoku Tuesdays’ fate in the air until further notice.
