Jackalope Hotel, Mornington Peninsula VIC
Uncover destination dining at its best at the hatted restaurant, Doot Doot Doot.
Beneath an arresting canopy of the restaurant’s iconic 10,000 globe chandelier, the creative culinary journey of a seasonal menu lures aficionados and foodies alike. Here, respect for the feast is effortlessly offered with disrespect for the familiar.
A presentation of Australia’s finest produce, plated with fresh goods from the expansive kitchen garden, champions a menu intrinsically linked to the land. Time-honoured techniques meet culinary curiosity; every dish is methodical yet explorative, a tempting tale, twisting and turning, teasing and pleasing, to the very last bite.
Given the dirt on which Doot Doot Doot stands, the partnership between food and wine is always central. Focusing on purity of flavour and balance produces a dining presentation, elevating food and wine.
The wine list spans a unique selection of limited-release, single-vineyard wines curated from some of the world’s premier small-batch producers. Rarity is luxury.
Standing amid the country cache of Mornington Peninsula’s world-renowned wine region, Doot Doot Doot is a revered destination within Jackalope Hotels. An evocative cornerstone to the Hotel’s avant-garde design story, the visual elements now synonymous with the restaurant are intrinsic to the artistic concept the property was built on – the process of alchemy.
The bubbling and brewing light installation that lines the restaurant’s ceiling sees Doot Doot Doot depict the second stage of the alchemical process, fermentation, a purposeful but evocative look into the intention behind every moment its guests will stumble upon during their dining experience.
