As the Pokémon GO craze sends legions of players scouring around cities catching virtual monsters on their smartphones, a Chinese restaurant has come up with a clever way to attract diners.
Melbourne's Lost Heaven Restaurant is offering customers up to 30 per cent off their meals if they can prove they have caught any of the rare Pokémon GO characters listed on its promotional flyer.
If diners catch any of the selected monsters, including a 'Kagaskhan' or 'Golduck', they will receive money off Chinese cuisines at the Bourke Street restaurant.

Diners can turn their rare catch into some of the finest dishes of China at discounted prices at the restaurant.
