Takumi

One of my favorite lunch spots of late is the Japanese restaurant Takumi on Bourke Street.  It's a hidden oasis in the middle of the CBD that you could easily walk by and not realise is there.  My friend Kat introduced me to the place (as she has many others at work).  My top dish is the Vegetarian lunch, which contains Japanese Agedashi tofu, deep fried gyoza, and is served with salad, steam rice and miso soup.  It's like a gourmet bento box due to the way the food is presented in all these beautiful ceramic bowls.  I love all the different little morsels of food, which taste so delicious and fresh.
