Chef and owner Guy Grossi personally supervises the plating at Mirka at Tolarno Hotel (42 Fitzroy St, St Kilda 3182
+ 61 3 9525 3088). We are there on its second night opne. the place is going crazy and there are, as anybody would expect, a few lumps in the service but they are handled well.
Mirka’s bar with its vogue dangling lighting scheme.
Possibly the best Steak Tartare in Melbourne, wolfed down with a huge bowl of fries.
And not to forget the posh loos.

Nicholas Day did un unmissable review of the new Tolarno in The Age a few weeks ago - in his architecture column - talking about its design pedigree and influences, carefully distinguishing this from other, merely hip, restaurant designs. Fascinating reading.
I didn’t get into the main room to photograph and I missed his review but just checked it out and have to agree. I felt that it really made a brilliant gallery for the artworks which I had previous not liked much. it is the light and openness that impressed me after having been quite dingy. Bloody noisy though but worth a repeat visit.
I find it hard to believe that the new architecture could improve the artworks…?
