What We Do

    Hidden in the heart of Colchester town centre in the shadow of a multi storey car park Kintsu is back to reinvigorate Colchester city's dining scene. Taking inspiration from the multi cultural cuisines of Modern Britain we have crafted tasting menus of the best ingredients we can afford to deliver a dining experience unparalleled in the area. Passionate about supporting local independent, farmers, growers, fishmongers and producers to showcase the best of what Britain's larder has to offer.

  • Who we are

    Kintsu – based on ‘Kintsugi’ the Japanese art of repairing with gold.  Knowing that an item broken and fixed should be embraced and celebrated for it’s history and resilience rather than being hidden or dismissed.  Kintsu restaurant was born in 2020 on the site of it’s predecessor grain with some of the original key features, values and even staff , this time put back together to create more than a sum of it’s parts and celebrate it’s origins.  It’s been a bumpy 5 years in parts but the commitment to repair, refine and continue has remained, sometimes with the cracks and scars visible to see.  Our latest iteration comes on the back of perhaps the biggest breaks and repairs that we have faced yet, all of which we intend to embrace, acknowledge and, learn from, to continue to grow into the best version of this restaurant we can be.
