WELCOME! TO HOPHAUS EURO BAR BISTRO
BAR, RESTAURANT & FUNCTION VENUE AT SOUTHBANK
Hophaus opened midway through 2014 as Southbank’s most exciting food and beverage showpiece – a cosmopolitan reinvention of the great German and European Bier Halls.
Where old meets new, Hophaus delivers a charmingly familiar yet excitingly fresh bar and dining experience.
With food and bier tasting specials offered for both lunch and dinner throughout the week, you will find Hophaus is the perfect destination for after work drinks and casual dining.

Bacash is situated on Domain Rd, South Yarra, close to the CBD, and only a short walk through the Botanical Gardens to the MCG and the Rod Laver Arena.

Bacash Restaurant follows up on a reputation of fine seafood cooking earned at Michael and Fiona's first restaurant Toofey's. Michael and Fiona owned and operated Toofey's between 1989 and 2001 until they relocated to the more desirable surrounds of the beautiful Domain Road Village.

Whilst at Toofey's Michael only cooked seafood, and since opening Bacash he has diversified the menu to appeal to a wider clientele. His uncompromising approach to quality has led to the restaurant being awarded Chef's Hats in the Age Good Food Guide from 2005 through to the most recent 2014 edition.
