It is in Melbourne that Grand Chef Jacques Reymond put down his suitcases and set up his stove. The French chef has been able to demonstrate his own personal style. Reymond’s cuisine is contemporary, creative and multi-faceted, much like Australia itself. Reymond is a visionary soul who married French flavours with Asian influences even before fusion food became fashionable. The nine course degustation menu takes you through a tasting sensation from a contrast of ocean trout, slow cooked and smoked Flinders Islands Wallaby to Highland Venison tataki. The wine cellar is just as exceptional as the Victorian manor, in perfect harmony with the creations of this chef who is passionate about his art.
