Also, the dishes are made with a touch of fine dining. In other words, each dish that is made at Spice Temple has high quality.

Besides, an elegant Chinese restaurant that plays an important role together with the Chinese food. Not to mention that is located, in one of the most crowd and beautiful part of this city. Into the Crown Casino and in front. The view of South Yarra River. Surely, a great place to enjoy, a nice lunch or dinner at Spice Temple.

Therefore, the Chinese place is not a cheap restaurant. However, it counts with two menu, where the first one you can choose random, as you wish. On the other hand, the second menu is called THE JADE YUM CHA BANQUET, where you try several dishes, already chosen by chef, for a price of $59 AUD. In short, I chose the second menu to save a few dollars. And now I will tell you, my experience with the Chinese Food at Spice Temple.
