Melbourne Eating Out

Food & Drink  Posted by / 0 comments
During ArtMelbourne, we dined at some fantastic restaurants! My hometown is so good for food. If you love Japanese food, especially tempura then Tempura Hajime in South Melbourne is a must visit. (Make sure you book at least 1 month in advance). You literally feel like you could be eating in Japan! Behind a non descript wooden door, you enter into a special reception area (think dark gray slate interiors with ikebana and the odd japanese ceramic displayed) with 2 doors. One is for the kitchen, the other leads you into a small dining room with 12 places around a bar surrounding the tempura chef in the middle. Enjoy some pics!!
