More about the restaurant: Wabi Sabi Garden

Wabi-sabi, the Japanese art (and aesthetic, and philosophy) of the incomplete, the transient, the imperfect; but also of the simple and the intimate – an immediately felt and appreciated economy of taste and sensation that extends just as easily to food as it does to architecture and objects. Wabi Sabi Garden has upped the ante for fine Japanese dining in Melbourne, and brings the principles of wabi-sabi to more than just its name. The restaurant’s premises along St Kilda’s Wellington Street present a playful frontage outside and in, forming a kind of wry asymmetry when the impeccably plated dishes begin to roll out of the kitchen. This is Japanese fusion at its finest, just, as the proprietor’s say, as you’d find in Tokyo.
