YAGIZ ARRIVES IN SOUTH YARRA
Located at 22 Toorak Rd, the offering is refined, yet approachable with a wonderfully nostalgic menu and contemporary fit-out. Departing from Tulum in Balaclava, Ovaz’s latest venture will continue to share a modern approach to Turkish-influenced cuisine that Melbournians have grown to love, while incorporating the skill he attained from working with Colin Fassnidge at NSW’s Four in Hand.
Designed by Archier, Yagiz features a central 22-seat brass communal table and is separated into two
sections; a more casual walk-in bar and an expansive dining space fit with banquette seating and subtle
pops of Middle Eastern-inspired furnishings, such as colourful cushions and Turkish linen.
Diners can choose between a set menu or à la carte with a selection of small snacks, followed by entrées
or ‘mezze’, shared mains, eclectic sides and assortment of sweet Turkish delights.
Signature dishes include:
• Marine levrek – pickled sea bream, pear and sea grape
• Kuzu tartar – lamb loin, couscous, young cos
• Kalamar dolmasi – calamari, ezine cheese, ink
• Sutlu irmik tatlisi – semolina pudding, blood orange sorbet, pistachio
• Whole roast – Bultarra saltbush lamb for ten people (24hr notice required)
Ovaz welcomes diners to experience his interpretation of traditional Turkish fare, created to honour his
culinary foundations while embracing modern cuisine and the multicultural influences that come with it.
While indulging in the theatre of the open kitchen, diners can select from a unique wine list developed by
award-winning Consultant Sommelier, Christian Maier. He says Turkish wines are often overlooked in Australia and looks forward to introducing guests to indigenous varietals, along with an array of personal favourites from across the globe.
