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.

I can't think of anything to fault in our recent dining experience at Tote. I eat out a lot but I think this is the only restaurant I have visited 5 times. Everything about our evening was spot on, the food, the drinks, the service, the ambience, the attention to detail from the staff in ensuring glasses weren't empty and the timing between the courses was perfect. Consideration of our party with dietary restrictions was amazing too.
