This restaurant offers one of the most interesting menus in Melbourne. It specialises in an ancient art form developed by Chinese monks--the preparation of vegetarian dishes designed to imitate the flavour and texture of meat! The decor is Spartan and basic, with pastel walls giving a calming feel. No smoking permitted. Menu items such as duck and pork are actually expert vegetarian imitations. Fear not, no animal was killed in the making of this menu! The friendly staff will be happy to explain how the dishes are prepared so you can try for yourself to see how accurate they are!
