So when I saw 'Pumpkin Toast' with white chocolate and pumpkin ganache, honeycomb, yogurt sorbet and spiced pumpkin ice-cream on the desert menu (which sounded so peculiar I of course had to try it), I was a little bit concerned - with such great reviews, could Mr Miyagi really do me wrong? Well, thank goodness it didn't, and the Pumpkin Toast was one of the best deserts I've had in Melbourne (adding the caveat that I am allergic to cocoa so my desert options are limited). Textually exciting and beautifully balanced, this desert is a definite must if you find yourself here for dinner.

Whilst my heart was definitely taken by the desert, my dining companion was won over by the roast duck roti wrap with 5 spice slow roast duck, grilled roti, pickled beetroot, nashi and mustard miso, which indeed was delicious.

The Tonkatsu Pork was a particularly clever take of the Japanese classic. More akin to a croquette then the traditional schnitzel style pork, paired with the freshness of the apple salad, and the acidity of the yuzu cider gel, it was a well executed dish.

The ramen gnocchi with wagyu bolognese and buffalo ricotta, whilst an unusual suspect for a Japanese restaurant, worked surprisingly well and was up there with many of the exceptional gnocchi dishes I've had in Melbourne Italian restaurants.

And how could we go past the infamous "MFC" which, with its incredibly juicy chicken and deliciously seasoned coating, is definitely worthy of its cult following.

If you haven't yet had the pleasure of trying Mr Miyagi's, then I would definitely recommend putting it on the 'To Do' list.
