   Beautiful Fo Guang art center. I was told this place also a Temple. If it is, then it is a very contemporary Temple. Nice, peaceful, and serenity. Cafe is from 9-3, but get there around 2, cause food might be out by then. Best vegetarian foods that cook with health and people in mind. It tastes light, fresh, and healthy. You can chant, meditate, and pray in the main hall.

   Modern Buddhist temple with small gift shop, water drop cafe and exhibition at downstairs and gallery, prayer hall and library are upstairs. It is very peaceful and spiritual place. We had a great time visiting temple and cafe.

   This peaceful cafe is in the heart of the Buddhist Temple on Riccarton road. It’s a hidden treasure. It’s Vegetarian and mostly Gluten Free. Although I’m not vegetarian, the food is delicious and presented to a high standard. I try a new dish on each visit and have enjoyed each one. This visit we had a Fried Noodle Dish, Pan Seared Dumplings and Polenta Fries for lunch - all delicious. They have tea, coffee and slices, great for a catch up with friends or meeting with colleagues. They have outside seating and inside housed by the impressive temple facade and floor to ceiling windows. Theres also an art gallery and mediation suite there as well to explore.

   The vegetarian cafe is very good. Lot of options for food. Food is good but portion is a little small. I invited my friends there and they like it. You could find some peaceful moment there. Location is good.

   The Chocolatte Food festival at the temple was a celebration of Food. The atmosphere was pleasant and calm. Many helpers to explain what was happening, Food from many cultures, music groups playing. The building is fascinating architecturally. Exhibitions are interesting. The Cafe has a wide range of vegetarian food and a lovely atmosphere.

   These exquisite embroidered pictures are a must see. The gardens surrounded by decking are very calming and restful. A really pleasant morning's outing.
