Meander down Toorak Road and you’ll be spoiled for choice with a number of lush cafes and restaurants.

Behind old Toorak Church in the manse of Kinross House you’ll discover the Manse Gallery Cafe. Answering the prayers of locals looking for delicious homemade food with soul, it was started by friends Coila Lilley and Jill McWhinney to celebrate good food shared with good company. Taking inspiration from the local community and seasonal food, the menu is shaped by what’s available at the morning market.

A “fresh fruit exchange” sees locals trade produce from their own backyard, and weekly community events draw crowds in the hundreds, giving the old manse a new lease on life.

While your evening may begin on the busy streets of Toorak, get whisked away through the doors of Bistro Thierry to the glowing boulevards of Paris.

To complete your journey to La France, Grace offers a boutique experience for women who feel at home in Paris’ Le Marais. Items are sourced around the world, with a long list of designer brands on displace-including Alexander Wang, Balmain, Rag & Bone and Victoria, Victoria Beckham. Grace’s selection of runway, prêt-a- porter and accessory collections, along with a number of special lifestyle pieces, create a chic destination for the suburb’s fashionable locals.

Even your weekly grocery shop is a delight for the senses in Toorak, with an abundance of artisanal produce stores on hand. Butcher Peter Bouchier is another institution, alongside quality fruiterers Toscanos – currently being run by the third generation of the Toscano family. While the rare and exotic fruit and vegetables might draw you there, it’s the beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers you’ll want to take home.
