Stylish Tarda in Clifton Hill
Tarda is a standout hero of the burbs. We enjoyed an exciting and rewarding experience @tarda_food a stylish cafe and wine bar tucked away in Clifton Hill.
The word “tada” can mean the period between dawn and dusk (we certainly were satiated beyond dusk). Also “tada” points towards the idea of “slowing down”.
Anna and Mitchell have an architectural background and were prominent in the chic design to create a warm and inviting, as well as light and airy space. They have steered away from the vibe of a dark lit bar.
We rocked up on a Thursday evening and the place was pumping, packed inside and outside under the umbrellas.
Chef Alex Xinis (ex Head Chef The Press Club & restaurants around the world) is working wonders in the kitchen.
