About Erato Teppanyaki

Set inside a soaring former bank foyer on King William Street, Erato delivers high-flame teppanyaki framed by French technique and serious hospitality. Diners gather around the teppan plates for multi-course spreads like the Meat Lovers banquet—searing cuts of Angus, tender A5 Kuroge Wagyu, and pan-fried dumplings seasoned right before your eyes. Rich additions like foie gras on toast balance the sizzle and theatrical fire shows, while thoughtful drink pours feature curated sake like Cowboy Yamahai Junmai Ginjo. Kitchen crews adapt to strict dietary needs with thorough grill wipe-downs and tailored doneness, letting the meal unfold naturally toward a quiet dessert plate.

  • Grand Heritage Setting: Housed in a heritage bank hall featuring soaring ceilings and opulent marble walls.
  • French-Influenced Teppan: Combines tableside grill theatrics with French touches like foie gras, caviar, and rich sauces.
  • A5 Wagyu & Banquets: Banquet courses anchor dinners with Angus, A5 Kuroge Wagyu, and curated sake pairings.
