Tokar Estate Restaurant Yarra Valley

Tokar Estate Restaurant sits at 6 Maddens Lane, a short drive from the Healesville Sanctuary. It holds one hat from the 2024 Australian Good Food Guide, a distinction that marks it out among the immediate competition in the Yarra Valley.

The menu is international and contemporary, though it avoids the over-wrought complexity that often plagues modern kitchens in the region. The room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a polish that many nearby casual spots lack. While the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery draws the daytime crowds looking for a quick stop, Tokar is built for a longer, more intentional meal. You choose this place when you want the local standard of a one-hat restaurant without the feeling of being in a high-turnover tourist trap.
