About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
A contemporary bar and restaurant, serving modern-Australian dishes with seasonal eating in mind.

Channelling the timeless allure of 1930's design, the interior boasts rich oak panelling, emerald hues, decadent leather and bronze finishes. The space offers three intimate dining areas, known as The Northern Terrace, The Dining Room and The Cellar - our Private Dining Room.

The main feature of TOTE is casual dining with premium quality food from well sourced high quality and sustainable produce.

It features a contemporary offering from coffee, craft beer and creative cocktails to carefully curated local & imported wines and spirits.

The bar itself is modelled to the development’s quintessential roots – the racecourse – and is aptly shaped in an oval form to mirror it.

    The homemade bread is delicious. 5 of us for dinner and all ordering something different. The Chicken, fish and pork apparently fantastic. The basic steak and chips was not so great. Very sinewy.
