MELBOURNE FOOD DIARY: TOKO MELBOURNE

March 6, 2017

Toko Melbourne is the newest addition to the Toko Group whose other outposts include Toko Sydney and Tokonoma by Toko. Nestled in the heart of Prahran’s bustling Greville street Toko Melbourne offers diners the chance to experience the informal style of Japanese “izakaya” dining. Combined with Australia’s world renowned fresh produce and complimented by stunning contemporary design, the Toko dining experience lasts long after diners have left the restaurant. Jiawa Liu and I stayed at The Cullen Hotel while we were in Melbourne, which is only 3 minutes walking from TOKO Melbourne.

If you worried what to wear to traditionally feminine Oaks Day, here is advice from Calibre: Take a masculine twist with appreciation for the finer details.

In this way, it mimics the forces of nature; there are no harsh lines, every built form feels responsive to the elements – hugging a central space, or leading to new discoveries.
