Why you'll love Bowl Bowl Collingwood
- Delicious Sichuan inspired cuisine
- Combines the best of China's southwest with international flavours
Nestled amongst Collingwood's eclectic Smith Street, Charma honours the tradition, with a menu that combines flavours and influence from some of Asia’s finest – including China, Northern Thailand and Vietnam. The result is an experience full of twists and turns – salty, sweet, fresh, hot, mellow, cool, comforting – but always delicious. In true traveller’s style, Charma houses a beer garden out back, perfect for unwinding after whatever path you’ve tread. Sister restaurant of Smith Street staple, Bowl Bowl, Charma pairs a range of delicious beers and traditional Asian liqueurs with either a set or a la carte menu. Bookings, including corporate functions, are welcome with a range of private spaces available. Inspired by the famous tastes of Sichuan cuisine, Bowl Bowl combines the best of China’s southwest with international flavours that will blow your mind and pop the buttons on your pants. Our Asian-style menu is as colourful as our Smith Street address and caters to a range of tastes. From dumplings that will make you question the meaning of life, to street food that will make you feel like you're in the hustle-and-bustle of China's markets — every dish is an experience we want you to savour.
