Salad is not decorations
June 4, 2010
I love the idea when a restaurant obliges its diners to eat up or be fined and leave! The Wafu, a small 30-seat restaurant in the Sydney suburb of Surry Hills introduces a 30 percent discount for diners who eat all the food they have ordered otherwise they get a penalty and not return. Chef of restaurant Yukako Ichikawa describes it as “guilty free Japanese cuisine.” “To contribute toward creating a sustainable future we request a little more of our guests than most other restaurants,” she says in a list of her restaurant’s policies that is pinned on the door to the eatery, Reuters reported.
This list of rules includes finishing all dishes ordered which are organic and free of gluten, dairy, sugar and eggs and the chef and her staff tell people who don’t clear their plates to choose another restaurant next time.
“Finishing your meal requires that everything is eaten except lemon slices, gari (sushi ginger) and wasabi,” says the menu.
“Please also note that vegetables and salad on the side are NOT decorations; they are part of the meal too.”
