Tourmaline

Now operating as Tourmaline, this Forest Hills venue offers an intimate setting for weddings, family celebrations and business gatherings. Its indoor banquet hall seats up to 75 guests, making it suited to occasions where organisers want a private space without the scale of a large function venue. The hall looks out towards the patio through French doors, with exposed brick adding character to the room.

The venue welcomes wedding receptions, Sweet 16 celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events. Couples can also enquire about using the outdoor garden area for a ceremony or reception. The indoor room and patio give organisers options for hosting different parts of an event in distinct settings, subject to availability and arrangements with the venue.

Food and hospitality are central to the experience. Chef Yvan Lemoine leads a kitchen offering seasonal American and French-influenced dishes, while the restaurant’s drinks selection includes wine, beer and cocktails. Event menus and arrangements can be discussed with the team, allowing the food and service to be planned around the occasion. The venue does not offer a bare room hire option, so organisers should expect food and beverage to be provided by the business.

Located on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills, Tourmaline combines private event facilities with an operating restaurant. Organisers can contact the team to discuss dates, guest numbers, use of the banquet hall or patio, and the details of a planned celebration. It is a particularly suitable choice for smaller gatherings that call for a personal setting and an in-house dining experience.
