Fodor's "Set in the heart of St. Kilda's café, bar, and club precinct, Tolarno Hotel was once owned by artists who ran a gallery out of the space, and it still has an idiosyncratic artistic bent." Full review
Lonely Planet "Tolarno was once the site of Georges Mora’s seminal gallery, Tolarno. The fine-dining restaurant downstairs now bears the name of his artist wife Mirka, as well as her original paintings." Full review
