Under an arrestingly beautiful canopy of a slowly twinkling 10,000-globe chandelier, Doot Doot Doot showcases some of the Peninsula's finest produce in a menu drawing on home-grown goods from our kitchen garden and relationships with Peninsula artisans and producers.

The wine list is equally considered, the 1200-bottle glass cellar made up exclusively of wines from vineyards of 11ha or less — the size of the vineyard. Restrained in pricing, celebrating the region but also picking up the best from afar, it’s an excellent collection.

Simple pleasures abound and it’s assured, cooking where less is so much more.

* Please note that Doot Doot Doot now offers a five-course tasting menu only.

This is an expensive experience but when you consider the attention to detail in the styling and the flavours in the food, you begin to understand how much has gone into your experience! A beautiful meal with a wonderful wine selection and people who understand wine. Overall experience was outstanding!

I did have high expectations when I made the booking for my husbands 60th, however left feeling underwhelmed. It was a beautiful day and unfortunately due to the scrim curtaining on all windows it felt quite dreary. I can imagine at night the restaurant would have a very different feel. As is often the case the restaurants with little hype are often the best. I would not choose to dine at doot doot doot again but would rather dine in the cafe and enjoy the beautiful views. The best views from the restaurant are from the toilets unfortunately. They are amazing.

My husband and I dined at Doot Doot Doot with my brother and my sister-in-law as a birthday treat for my husband. The degustation dinner was exceptional. I was the designated driver for the evening and as such I was delighted that a different alcohol-free drink had been thoughtfully designed to match each course. The other three thoroughly enjoyed the different wines paired to each course. The approach with wines is to support small wineries, and so instead of rolling out familiar labels, we got a world tour of interesting wines, each carefully matched to the flavour profile of the course. Service was very good, but some in our party noted that we had a high number of staff attending us, making it difficult to develop rapport with 'our' server. A great night for this bunch of foodies and wine lovers.

Our third visit to Doot Doot Doot and while the food disappointed a bit (strange choice Vanilla ice cream with salmon caviar) the service and ambience made up for it. Overall great dining experience, however chefs might push a bit too hard on the fine dining side with “creative” dishes not hitting the palate too well.

The two of us had the degustation. It was delicious, interesting, and beautiful to look at. For breakfast I had the breakfast salad consisting of edamame bean and mint, avocado, beetroot purée and toasted seeds - devine. To follow we had spammer crab omelet with shiitake mushrooms.
