A new plant-based menu will run alongside Pinchy’s ‘Made By The Sea’ offering, creating an exciting vegan-friendly dining experience in the heart of Melbourne CBD.
Pinchy’s is known for serving some of the most imaginative seafood in town, and now it’s adding a complementary plant-based menu to its repertoire to run alongside its existing ‘Made by Sea’ menu. This new menu devoted to plant-based cuisine is aptly named – ‘Made Friendlier’.
Head Chef Jack Tsai’s(Benu, Attica, Fera at Claridge’s) new ‘Made Friendlier’ menu can be enjoyed à la carte or as a five-, seven-, or nine-course set menu. Artfully created, the dishes deliver a feast for the eyes before it reaches your palate.
“We work with some great producers that supply us with amazing vegan products. We treat these products with the same respect and attention as our seafood to thoughtfully create a menu that will excite both vegans and non-vegans alike,” says Tsai.
