About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Yana Coogee, situated a stone’s throw away from the beach on the main promenade of Coogee, is inspired by Chef Same Lane's passion for the simplicity of cooking with an open fire and the feeling of being surrounded by great food, drink and company.

The delicate smokey aromas from the kitchen greet guests as they arrive in our Australian inspired interior with exposed brick walls and leather seating booths - altogether, setting the scene for a delicious, fire-touched dining experience.

The menu will be agile to work closely with the dynamic nature of the availability of local produce. You can expect to enjoy a menu including Whole King Prawns with Nduja butter, 1.2kg black onyx Tomahawk with oregano Verde, and sides including Medley with Heirloom carrots, radish, zucchini, Sheep yoghurt, sumac, and honey. The bar serves up a beer and wine list that won’t disappoint, and cocktails that elevate the coastal vibes and set the tone for your Yana experience.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Yana Coogee offers a "cool vibe" with stylish rustic decor and an open fire kitchen that enhances the dining experience. The king prawns with spicy 'nduja butter and wood-fired broccolini are "unreal" delights. Cocktails, especially the "house spritz," are refreshing. Service can be inconsistent, but the "fabulous vibe" and "amazing quality food" make it a worthwhile visit.

    Food was good but overall a little overpriced. Service was the poorest I can remember experiencing. Not only were they incredibly slow, and we had to ask them several times to take our orders, at one point once a waiter came over, his attitude was poor, it was as if we were putting them out by asking for our order to be taken.

    The place is quiet nice but the food is expensive for size of portions. However what we had was nice quality and flavour. Wine prices are a bit OTT.

    Had an awesome dinner at Yana the other night and honestly, still thinking about it! The place has such a cool vibe – kind of rustic but super stylish, and the open fire kitchen is a whole experience on its own. You walk in and the smell just hits you in the best way possible. We shared a bunch of dishes, but the standout for me was the king prawns with that spicy ‘nduja butter – unreal. Also had the T-bone steak which was cooked perfectly, and the wood-fired broccolini with ricotta? Game changer. You can really taste that smoky flavour in everything. Cocktails were on point too – had their house spritz with passionfruit, so refreshing and not too sweet. Our server was super friendly and gave great recs without being pushy. It's definitely one of those places where you linger over dinner because the vibe is just that good. Will 100% be back – already planning to bring friends next time.

    Yana is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh and full of flavour, the cocktails are top-notch, and the beachside vibe makes every visit feel like a mini getaway. The staff are warm and welcoming – you can really feel the love in the place. Can’t wait to go back

    Nice food, chaotic service, especially when ordering drinks directly from the bar. Badly need another till and another full time person behind the bar at peak times

    Unbelievable value which over-delivers on quality, pairing this with exceptional customer service makes this a can’t miss dining experience. I couldn’t recommend the Wednesday night special any more.

    The most amazingly bad experience. Arrived and shown to the table.Only handed the drinks menu. Asked for the food menu to be advised there was no food but chips as it was all gone due to demand during the day. We were not notified even at the door. UNBELIEVABLE
