You won't see Quaff's genteel patrons queuing for a table,grazing from share plates then rushing to the next hot spot. Here in the heart of Toorak Village it's a conservative crowd,enjoying a reserved table and a distinct entree-main-dessert rhythm. Padded chairs,starched white tablecloths and huge cantilevered windows add to the comfortable,swanky vibe. The menu looks to Europe and Asia. For starters,Asian spiced pork belly is well-matched with sweetened soy sauce and zingy red cabbage salad,although perhaps falling short of ideal crackling crispness. A main of peppered kangaroo fillet is a generous protein hit. six slices served rare with port jus,beetroot tapenade and crisp sweet potato chips. Duck breast is another staple,perhaps with a stir-fry of abalone mushrooms and shredded duck leg. Souffle is popular;a delicate orange version,accompanied by hazelnut ice-cream,is excellent.
