味覚を楽しむ/楽しませる
確かに、taste budsは食べ物の味を感じる器官ではあるんですが、「味蕾」も良いけれど、「味覚」で良いのではとも。 味蕾は、理科や生理学の教科書を彷彿させるような。。（＝＝）

味蕾を楽しませる
This is another option that is fairly literal, but like David said, it's just marketing buzz so play with it and find something that sounds good and fits the style of the rest of the menu.

味蕾を開花させる
"Tease your taste buds" is a term used a lot in marketing meaning something is delicious. I don't think you have to worry about translating it literally.
味蕾を気持ちよく刺激

"Tickle your taste buds" (味蕾をくすぐる) is also used idiomatically but has a slightly different nuance (a little more lighthearted in my opinion).

teaseは、かなり広い意味で使われていると思いますが、食の文脈ではこの意味ではないかと。

私見ですが
私はMamiさんの意見に賛成です。
確かに tast buds は味蕾と訳すのが正しいのですが、私が日本語のレストランの紹介文を書くとしたら、味蕾という言葉は、普通とは違う味の取り合わせの食品、あるいは特に刺激の強い食品に対して使います。 今までに味わったことがない味の経験ができることの表現として、味蕾を使うと文章が引き立つと思います。
しかし、ごく普通に、「いろいろな味が楽しめる」ということであれば、“味蕾を”ではなく、“舌を”とか、“味覚を”という方が一般的な表現です。
原文を読まれた上で、書き手が表現したいことがどちらにあるかによって、どの言葉を使うのかをお決めになると良いと思います。

Discussion
例えば、美しい風景画を集めた展覧会について紹介する場合、「目を楽しませてくれる展覧会」という言い方はするでしょうが、「視覚を刺激する展示」とは（少なくとも私は）言いません。 一方で、エッシャーのだまし絵の展覧会に対してなら、「目を楽しませる」では平凡すぎるので、「視覚を刺激する」か、あるいは「脳を刺激する」と表現すると思います。
それで、書き手の意図が問題になると考え、その点を喚起する意味の参考意見をポストしました。 決して無難にこなすことを勧める意図のものではありません。
味覚は、味蕾が支えている訳です。
確かに「味覚」とすれば無難な訳になりますが、それでいいのでしょうか？
