“…Quite simply put it was far and away the best food and wine experience I have ever had and I know from feedback from some of the guests who attended they feel exactly the same.
The food was perfectly matched with each of the wines, so much so that Philip Rich tweeted whilst we were at the table that the pigeon and Krug Rose was the best food and wine match he'd ever had.
All of the staff were so friendly and everything appeared seamless. Just an amazing night all round that will stay with me forever...the world is a better place with fantastic restaurants like Jacques Reymond.” Brady Hebbard – Moët Hennessy

‘Krug Dinner October 2011’

"At the top of his game for several decades, it would appear that Jacques Reymond is both willing and able to hold on to his mantle indefinitely. The Franco-Australian pioneer of a unique cuisine marrying classical technique with an Asian sensibility continues to gently challenge diners to take an extraordinary trip.'' 'The Age Good Food Guide 2012'

About Us

Jacques Reymond restaurant is located only ten minutes from the Melbourne CBD, and occupies a stately Victorian mansion, dating back to circa 1880. Featuring extensively landscaped gardens, open fireplaces and a private car park, the house acts as a historical landmark in the area, and has been used as a restaurant and reception centre for over fifty years. Purchased by the Reymond family in 1992, the house has undergone extensive renovation so as to include three uniquely separate dining rooms, as well as a larger upstairs space for private functions. The resulting style of the décor and ambience promote the philosophy of Jacques Reymond restaurant as being a traditional framework for contemporary Australian dining.

The restaurant is proud to have been at the forefront of Melbourne dining since its inception, and head chef Jacques Reymond is very much chef in the kitchen, a figurehead for his flagship restaurant. His innovative and modern approach to cooking continues to win accolades for the restaurant, and many regard him as the most consistently balanced yet curiously daring chef Australia has yet seen. He has built his restaurant very much as a family affair, with various members of family employed in senior roles throughout the establishment.

The restaurant has been awarded three chefs hats by The Age Good Food Guide for many consecutive years and has achieved and won major awards.

In 2009 we became an affiliate of the prestigious Relais Châteaux association which members includes some of the finest Hotels and Restaurants in the world. Click for more on Relais Châteaux.
