This was the second time I have been to Tokar Estate and it was a magnificent experience. The day, the roses, the views, the ambience and food and wine (Tokar Prosecco) were outstanding. We were celebrating my beautiful friends birthday and we were both happy and deeply impressed by all aspects of the Tokar Estate. Highly recommend. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yarra Glen

About the restaurant

A charming pasta and wine bar with cosy ambiance, a sun-soaked Tuscan inspired courtyard and a thoughtful menu of authentic Italian flavours, located in a quaint red brick building on the main street of Yarra Glen.

The menu focuses on a selection of handmade pastas with Nonna-style sauces and slow-cooked classics like Osso Bucco and Eggplant Parmigiana, alongside antipasto snacks. The wine list features a curated selection of local and international wines, beers and cocktails.

Take a seat at a barside hightop for a pre-dinner Negroni and a serve of housemade arancini and Sicilian meatballs, or settle in for a relaxed dinner at a table for two. Larger group bookings can also be accommodated at our communal tables.

The courtyard itself is an idyllic place to soak up the afternoon sunshine over a cocktail with an outdoor wood fireplace and complimentary shawls providing warmth as the evening moves on.

Reservations recommended for peak times, and walk-ins are always welcomed.
