Welcome to Pastore
Pastore is located on the doorstep of Hotel Chadstone Melbourne – MGallery Collection.
Pastore, the Italian word for ‘shepherd’, honours the area’s heritage as a pasture and orchard. From small plates to full tasting experiences, the menu presents Italian cuisine with Australian references, with a focus on woodfire-fuelled cooking and handmade pasta. Complementing the menu is a wine list of predominantly Italian varietals from local producers. An extensive cocktail menu combines Italian spirits and Australian botanicals, as well as signature Italian concoctions made with Australian aperitivos.
Pastore warmly welcomes you for all occasions.
