Bar Carolina

Bar Carolina sits on Toorak Road in South Yarra, one of Melbourne's most stylish dining-and-shopping strips in the inner south-east. A much-loved bar and restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality food with a great drinks offering and a stylish, characterful atmosphere, the kind of accomplished, sociable spot that's become a genuine favourite on the chic Toorak Road strip.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks-and-cocktail offering and a stylish, lively setting in a prime South Yarra location, ideal for a relaxed meal, drinks and a feed, a date or a sociable night out. A spot that's nailed both its food and its atmosphere really stands out on a stylish strip, and Bar Carolina has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular spot fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in South Yarra.
