Midori by Tao's

📍@midoribytaos, Balwyn North We were super impressed by every dish we got to try at the 6-course set dinner that is available at Midori by Tao's in Balwyn North every Friday and Saturday 😍 This menu is 100% vegetarian, and they cater to other dietary requirements like vegan, gluten free, etc - the set dinner is served upstairs in a relaxing environment and we absolutely loved the Brazilian music they were playing when we visited 🎶 For the food, we ordered a different dish each for every course, so we shared and got to try everything in the menu where the highlights were their impeccable mains and desserts - I absolutely loved the Japanese style grilled eggplant with white miso and the strawberry pudding 🍓 6-course set dinner $68pp: 🍅 Starter - Chef's Assorted Platter of the Day 🍄 1st Entree - Stuffed Tofu + Mushroom Fritter with Pesto 🍜 2nd Entree - Chawanmushi + Steamed Luffa with Rice Noodle 🥘 Soup of the Day 🍆 Main - Japanese Style Grilled Eggplant with White Miso + Tofu Steak with Pepper Mushroom 🍮 Dessert - Caramel Pudding Cake + Strawberry Pudding

I am impressed! Had so much great sushi all over the world (my favourites are in Cologne and Bangkok) and this one was even better! I loved everything It’s so nice that nearly everything is vegan and that the train has small portions on it so you get to choose and eat a lot of different ones if you like. Everything is well balanced and perfectly flavoured! In Germany sushi trains have a bad reputation (mostly all you can eat with lacking quality) here it’s a whole new dining experience! Team is well informed about products and asked ahead what dietary requirements we have (also having gluten free) they are free of garlic and onions as far as I know. Highlights were their Inari and signature rolls and also the Bao plus Tofu and tempura. We shared a lot which is great. Stunning flavours and well worth the drive from central melbourne. Highly recommend to reserve a table in advance. This place is the best sushi spot all times for me
