Attached to one of the most significant wineries in the region, the restaurant boasts unrivalled views across the bay to Geelong, the You Yangs and Melbourne and is an idyllic place to enjoy a stunning meal complemented by Jack Rabbit's award winning wines.
Under the capable guidance of Head Chef David Warmisham, the sense of true hospitality is palpable, echoed in the modern Australian menu prepared using high quality, fresh ingredients which are often locally sourced.
To start, the Taleggio panna cotta, was beautiful. The melt in your mouth panna cotta was bursting with natural flavour, a flavour further enhanced by the subtle sweetness of the beet gel, tartness of the balsamic beets, crunchy pistachio and delicate chervil.
For mains the aromatic Devon duck breast, pleased. Exquisitely prepared, the slices of duck breasts were each tender, and, together with the caramelised onion, endive tart, cherry gel, broccolini and the orange jus as the crowning element, a memorable dish.
Whatever you do, do not leave without trying the desserts at Jack Rabbit. Think Chocolate and cumquat parfait, Tuckerberry hill strawberries with sour cream foam, balsamic reduction as well as Raspberry tart, limoncello mousse, white chocolate crackle with almond cream. Delicious!
Jack Rabbit is a wonderful spot to enjoy a glass of award-winning wine, have a meal or simply wander the picturesque grounds. Producing sophisticated cool-climate wines, premium ciders, as well as smokehouse products, Jack Rabbit is a must-visit on the Bellarine.
