23.01.2022 A Day in the life of Chocolate Buddha. In September 2019, this stunning video was created to capture a complete day in the life of our restaurant. We had only been up and running for 3 weeks after having closed for 21 weeks to build this amazing space. We are so very proud of what we have achieved in the past couple of years and are looking forward to re-opening for the 2nd time within a year in July 2020. The full 2 minute version of our video can be viewed via our bio... #fedsquare #melbournefoodie #melbournehospitality #melbournecbd #melbourneeats #japanesemelbourne #willwatt #maddisonarchitects #leedaprojects #melbourne #melbournerestaurant #kanpai
