Restaurant Botanic: A new chapter in Australian fine dining

Discover a new chapter in Australian fine dining at the award-winning Restaurant Botanic

Adelaide Dining

The Adelaide Botanic gardens first opened to the public on October 4, 1857. Under the shade of the then youthful Moreton Bay Figs, a humble tea house was constructed to provide refreshment for its visitors. The familiar colonial shape of the Simpson kiosk building was erected in its place in 1906.

This storied space has now borne witness to over a century of horticultural and gastronomic history.

Restaurant Botanic is the latest custodian, seamlessly blending respect for its heritage and continuing sense of purpose to its visitors in providing respite from the relentless beauty of its surroundings.

Opened in 2021 Restaurant Botanic embarked on an ambitious project to redefine the landscape of Australian fine dining.

Nestled within the lush living museum of the 51-hectare gardens, this acclaimed establishment unveils a reimagined menu that pays homage to its verdant surroundings while pushing the boundaries of native ingredient profiles from across the continent.
