Designed by the award-winning Technē Architects, Tonka blends the raw energy of Flinders Lane’s graffiti with sweeping views of the Yarra River and Birrarung Marr.
Enter through a hidden doorway into the Thali Bar for cocktails and tandoor plates in a relaxed setting. Journey through a corridor of spices before arriving in the open-plan dining room, where Naomi Troski’s ethereal ceiling installation Drift invites the eye to wander with its flowing, light-responsive form.
