The Kitchen Tootgarook is the kind of place that makes you feel instantly at ease, a true Mornington Peninsula local just minutes from the beach, Rye Pier, Peninsula Hot Springs and Alba Thermal Springs . It’s a space built on great food, great service, great value, where breakfast with friends, long lunches, relaxed dinners and those essential morning coffees all feel right at home.
Open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch, and serving dinner Thursday through Saturday, The Kitchen delivers seriously delicious plates made with love, from their famous Bacon & Salmon Sandwich with mango chutney, loaded smashed avo with house vegan feta, fresh local Fettuccini Vongole, and one of the best chicken parmas around, plus plenty of gluten‑free options for those with dietaries . Proper coffee, local wines, beers and cracking cocktails round out the offering, all enjoyed in a warm, welcoming space with dog‑friendly courtyard seating, big shared tables and live music on weekends.
Behind the bar, they’re pouring our House Pour Gin, Citrus Twist Vodka, and more, shaking up wicked cocktails that keep locals coming back. Think bright, zesty Lemon Drops, bold Espresso Martinis with a kick of the Commonfolk coffee we love, and a rotating list of classics to fun, fresh new creations.
And if you’re planning something special, The Kitchen is the perfect place to host your next event. From small informal gatherings to weddings, canape cocktail parties, sit‑down dinners and fully tailored catering, their team handles it all with genuine hospitality and attention to detail .
Come hungry, leave happy, and feel like family from the moment you walk in. That’s The Kitchen Tootgarook.
