The Kitchen

Beach-side Tootgarook all-rounder loved for weekend brunch, salt and pepper calamari, and Thursday $25 Parma night.

Warm, green-toned dining room near the beach with a relaxed, welcoming feel. live acoustic music on some days, spacious outdoor tables for groups.

Dog-friendly seating, allergy-conscious staff who've sourced gluten-free bread and cleaned equipment for oat milk on request, and a wedding and events catering arm reviewers rave about.

No single cultural lineage. the menu blends Australian brunch and pub-style classics with Mediterranean and Latin-inspired share plates like Greek-style parma and beef tostadas.

Reviewers repeatedly call pricing fair for generous portions, especially the $25 Thursday Pot and Parma deal, though one review flagged a $25 charge for a minimal eggs-and-toast order with no substitutions allowed.
