The Wafu Restaurant - A Case of Want Not, Waste Not
Wafu, the Australian diner is more than a little like a mother, but with a twist. Any time diners don’t finish everything on their plates, they can be politely requested not to come back. Customers must also adhere to the restaurant’s other policies.
Balance is the key in the Wafu - diners should order an amount that is “in harmony” with their appetites.
Wafu’s website lays it out clearly: “To find pleasure in our dishes is to finish the meal. Please don’t leave anything on your plate.”
The under-current of this approach is ‘Japanese cuisine’ ‘guilt free’, or to put it another way: “Wafu is not just a restaurant, it is an extension of Yukako’s personal ethos toward nourishment and sustenance. Wafu is the expression of an ethical and spiritual commitment to food.”
