About

Dacha at Parkview brings the warmth of Eastern European hospitality to a modern Australian dining experience — a place to gather, relax and share great food in the heart of Dendy Park, Brighton East.

The name “Dacha” reflects what this place is for: warmth, connection and the tradition of gathering around the table. Set within Club Bayside and surrounded by parkland, the venue pairs spacious indoor and outdoor areas with panoramic windows — and convenient parking on site.

The menu combines modern European techniques with the rich traditions of Eastern European cuisine: premium produce, charcoal-grilled specialities and fresh seafood, complemented by carefully selected wines and cocktails from the full bar.

From an à la carte evening to a set-menu night, every dish balances tradition and innovation — generous, honest and made for sharing.

Steph Graham, Chef

Chef-led culinary concept

Steph Graham

AKA Chefanie

Hi, I’m Steph. I’ve been passionate about cooking since I was young, and my journey as a chef began at the age of 17. With 17 years of experience across a wide range of cuisines, I’ve developed my skills in some of the most prestigious kitchens, including leading hotels in the Whitsundays and as Head Chef at one of Melbourne’s renowned restaurants.

I believe in using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, ensuring every dish is both flavourful and nourishing.

My goal is simple: to make restaurant-quality dining accessible, convenient, and enjoyable, whether it’s a weekly family meal or a catered special event.

Our Philosophy

Inspired by Eastern European traditions and Australian produce, we bring people together with handcrafted dishes, charcoal-grilled flavours and warm hospitality.

We celebrate seasonality, simplicity and flavour. From our grill to your table.
