Toorak Cellars

Wonderful space to while away some hours over some nibbles and a few glasses of wine. The staff are passionate, friendly and engaged, and very happy to provide tastings on request. There are cosy seats by the windows at the front and a courtyard out the back with its own bar window for sunny days. I especially loved the baked Camembert, which came dripping with honey and walnuts, and delicious baguette slices to soak up the gooey cheese.

UPDATE: Thank you for a speedy response to my review. It’s much appreciated. All the best with your future ventures. First impressions last and unfortunately my first impression left much to be desired. We had booked a table for a group of 8. 1. As we were seated we were advised that they needed the table back in 2 hours as they had to seat someone else. What an interesting welcome! 2. They don’t have table numbers so running a tab with 7-8 people was difficult 3. NO table service. You have to queue up at the bar like you would at your local pub 4. Every time we ordered a bottle of something it took them forever to bring it to the table. To the point where we waited over 20 mins for the second bottle of champagne arrived, paid the bill, and left. 5. Their own QR code takes us to the menu of a pizza place nearby. When we waited 40mins, we asked one of the waiters about it. He said “I don’t work for the pizza place”. Ok. When we asked him about the second bottle of champagne he said “you will have to go to the bar”. Just, not a nice wine bar experience at all.
