El menú del Chocolate Buddha se diferencia de los menús japoneses tradicionales incorporando el uso de productos locales e internacionales. La gran selección de vinos, sake, cervezas y licores complementa y da un toque de frescura a la experiencia culinaria. Este restaurante de Melbourne presenta un diseño único, con budas que adornan el local y crean un ambiente acogedor. El Chocolate Buddha recibe su nombre de uno de los budas que tenemos en casa, de sonrisa muy dulce y color chocolate oscuro. Le damos la bienvenida a nuestro local, donde esperamos que disfrute de un viaje gastronómico inspirador.

Vegan diner advised that all fried food is cooked in oil that has been used to cook meat. I wasn’t advised that re my vegetarian meal.
Staff member fetched the more experienced waiter to assist. He offered the options of having food steamed or fried in a separate pan
