Spice Temple

  • Restaurant
  • Licensed

Spice Temple is a sexy, moody restaurant specialising in regional Chinese cuisine and delighting the senses with contrasting tastes and textures.

Drawing inspiration from the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Xinjiang, Spice Temple chefs up the ante when it comes to Chinese dining in Melbourne, avoiding the standard Cantonese clichés.

The dusty aromas of dried spice and the intensity of chillies – dried, fresh, salted, pickled, brined and fermented – add excitement to the food, yet the delicate balance and harmony are never lost. This is the cornerstone of truly beautiful Asian cooking.

Spice Temple’s menu includes dishes designed to share, such as fried salt and pepper silken tofu or aromatic duck salad. Make individual selections from the salads, noodles and wontons, rice, chicken and seafood, each dish representing a regional favourites.
