Executive chef, Glenn Bacon of Hayman, the private island resort in the Great Barrier Reef, has been issued a challenge to create a menu featuring regional Hunter Valley produce a world away from the local produce and seafood available from Bacon’s tropical home.
Bacon will unveil a reconcepted and renamed ‘Fontaine’ restaurant in August. Fontaine will offer a picturesque setting including dining platforms over the Hayman Swan Pond. The new menu will feature contemporary Australian cuisine inspired by the finest locally sourced produce.
In his preparation to delight Esca Bimbadgen diners, Glenn Bacon said, “The menu I have selected is a sneak preview of Hayman’s Fontaine restaurant concept, with a regional twist showcasing local Hunter Valley cuisine, paired with delectable Bimbadgen wine. I know it will be a winner, and a real celebration of a marriage between two incredible Australian destinations.”

Kingfish tartar, apple noodles, radish salad, chilled camomile tea
Sirloin of Hunter wagyu, white onion miso velvet, Port Stephens oyster pie, Bimbadgen Signature Shiraz pan juices

Friday, June 3, will feature the dinner menu only from 6:00pm, with lunch (commencing at 12:00pm) and dinner available on Saturday, June 4, and Sunday, June 5.
All diners at Esca Bimbadgen during the event will go in the running to win a trip to Hayman for a special private dining experience prepared by chef Bacon at the newly unveiled Fontaine.
