OUR EXPERIENCE AT BODHI RESTAURANT

Being vegans, we took advantage of our trip to Sydney to taste the delights of local cuisine in the vegan version. It was through a lot of searching that we became curious to know the food at Bodhi Restaurant. It's worth noting that the restaurant is a little hidden, but nothing that Google Maps can't help. Arriving at the place, a pleasant surprise: outdoor wooden tables under the shade of umbrellas and trees.

The Bodhi Restaurant works as a sort of all-you-can-eat lunchtime. But, instead of having a fixed price per person, for each dish that is brought by the waiter, you choose whether to keep it or not. If you want, the waiter will write down on a form that you have at the table that you took one of those dishes. The portions are small (oriental tapas style) and are meant to be shared, so it is possible to taste several dishes at the same meal.

We arrived at the restaurant still half empty around noon. But as soon as we sat down, the restaurant started to get pretty full. As everything was new to us, whenever a waiter approached with a portion, we asked about it. We were very curious to try several types of tapas. We just ate. We had good expectations of the place, but we did not imagine that the experience would be so nice and the food so delicious.

OUR IMPRESSIONS ABOUT BODHI RESTAURANT

In addition to the super charming atmosphere, excellent service, the food was divine. And people get a little excited with the small portions and we end up ordering a lot. Many of the dishes are reimagined recreations of traditional Asian cuisine in a vegan version. Even snacks that resembled shrimp were available.

We highly recommend a lunch at Bodhi. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very peaceful, making customers super comfortable. For those looking for quality food and no animal ingredients, Bodhi Restaurant is an excellent choice!
