About Togs Place

Head upstairs for open-air verandah seating overlooking the Castlemaine streetscape, or tuck into a wood-paneled nook downstairs. Part rustic daytime eatery and part providore deli, this spot balances easygoing daytime staples with thoughtful pantry provisions. Locals lean toward the chicken kofta salad, hearty Reuben sandwiches flanked by fiery pickled vegetables, and housemade baked beans, washed down with a cold iced long black. Lingering over a slice of hummingbird cake, you can browse retail shelves stocked with homewares and specialty pantry goods before heading back out.

  • Rooftop verandah seating: Catch views over the Castlemaine CBD from the shaded open-air balcony and rooftop deck.
  • Integrated deli and providore: Browse shelves of specialty deli provisions, homewares, and quirky gifts alongside your meal.
