Editorial


With limited choices available for stylish Seddon dining, Touks has found favour with both locals and visitors with its casual but elegant ambience and excellent seasonal Mediterranean fare. Run by husband and wife team Matthew and Carrol Thurley, Touks' menu focuses on fresh local ingredients and simple flavours. During the day its cafe feel is great for weekend breakfasts or lunches, while evenings see this diner turn it up a notch with soft lighting, quality table settings and attentive service. Touks offers a range of pizzas which are also available to take away as well as other Euro inspired pasta, risotto and meat dishes.

Pizzas are reasonably priced with interesting toppings such as roasted broccoli, white anchovies, almonds and ricotta or spiced lamb with sumac, onions, haloumi and yoghurt. Mains change seasonally and might include rabbit and thyme agnolotti with caramelised onion and Dijon mustard, preserved lemon risotto with pan-fried whiting fillets or hazelnut and parmesan crumbed milk-fed veal with broccolini and shallot vinaigrette. Desserts are also worth saving room for, while the 70+ wine list offers a strong selection of local and European wines with plenty of lesser known drops and a decent selection of wines by the glass. Whether you drop in for a busy weekend breakfast or a quiet dinner, expect quality food cooked and served with care in a relaxed bistro-style setting.
