Jill's Restaurant is set on a secluded hillside at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. The beautiful, architecturally designed rammed earth building makes the most of its sweeping views across the vineyard to the Moorooduc Valley below.

Jill McIntyre's food is inspired by the provincial, countryside food of southern France and Italy with rustic, earthy food that emphasises flavour and freshness. Wherever possible we use local, seasonal and organic produce. The restaurant is spacious and well appointed and the service is always friendly, efficient and knowledgeable.

"Our special occasion restaurant with spectacular views (Unfortunately soon to be ruined if the Frankston by-pass cuts through beautiful Moorooduc)...great wholesome local produce, fabulous wines, down to earth yet maintaining a degree of opulence! Of course we'll be back!"

"Jill's is well worth a detour off the bitumen from the weekend touring trail. The reputable Moorooduc Estate range features highly on the wine list, plus some impressive imported varieties."
