Burgess who closed his restaurant Pecora in Birchs Bay south of Hobart a year ago to look for a more suitable site is turning out excellent breakfasts and four to five-course dinners at the boutique hotel. Presently available only to hotel guests new general manager Lisa Thorsen is hoping to open the dining room to the public so they can try the likes of Burgess’s inspired take on surf and turf — braised wild rabbit raviolo with savoy cabbage in a kelp broth — and his luscious-sounding pork cheeks agrodolce on a potato and turnip puree. But you’ll need to be quick. The former Sydney chef is only behind the burners until the start of August before jetting off to Europe for a stint at the world’s most talked about restaurant Copenhagen’s Noma.
