Melbourne has some tremendous hospitality service and has some fantastic places to wine and dine. I have migrated here for more than 6 years, I have been lucky enough to have sampled some of the world-class dishes from various culinary arts offered by eateries in Melbourne.
Taking an interest in the Japanese culture, I have always craved for Japanese food. Since living in Melbourne, I have dined in many japanese eateries and have tasted numerous dishes that they have to offer. Some fabulous and some bad, I can often tell if the food is good by the individuals working the restaurant. I have made my own presumption that if the restaurant is ran and controlled by Japanese, the food that it serves is authentic.
There are numerous Japanese cuisine franchises in Melbourne which are not owned and operated by Japanese. The level of service and quality of food that it makes are just astonishing. Yes, the price will be much more affordable but the authenticity of the taste and the level of service that you are receiving is bad. If you are serious about Japanese food, take the time to explore and ask around. You will often find that there is a Japanese restaurant just around the corner from you that you have not noticed.
I find myself dining in this particular restaurant in Melbourne more often these days ” Takumi. They is located conveniently in the city and is accessible by public transportation. They specialise in wagyu beef and modern Japanese cuisines. They are fully owned and operated by a Japanese family and the level of service that they have provided me is remarkable. They offer a unique style of barbecue dishes with their modern smoke-free bbq tables.
So, if you are visiting Australia, be sure to take the time to explore and visit the many Melbourne Japanese restaurants.
