Restaurant of the Week


Restaurant - Quaff

Quaff

Cuisine: Modern Australian

Location: Toorak, VIC

To “quaff” is to drink something heartily, which is just what this Toorak eatery is encouraging, as long as it’s accompanied by their European-inspired cuisine. A favourite with the locals who sit street-side taking in the village ambience, opt to sit indoors in the elegantly renovated dining room with dark wood panelling, illuminated wine wall, grand chandelier and bare wooden tables set with crisp white linens.
