Our experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. We reached out prior to our visit regarding dietary restrictions via social media and phone. Unfortunately, the response was vague and unhelpful social media messages were left unread, and the phone reply was blunt without clarification what meals we could have. We had booked in advance and were excited to visit, as the venue looked stunning online and it truly does in person. The restaurant is beautifully presented, and the ambiance is impressive. However, the food left much to be desired for the price tag. The portion sizes were small, with two pieces of bread smaller than my palm costing $16, which felt steep. I personally didn’t enjoy the calamari, though tastes vary. The highlights were the wagyu and chips, which were excellent. Despite this, I left feeling hungry even after spending $150. Additionally, we had mentioned that it was a birthday celebration, but there was no gesture from the restaurant to acknowledge this (the lady did which me it at the door), a small sweet would have been cute. While this isn’t always expected, it would have enhanced the overall experience. Overall, the venue is beautiful and some dishes stand out, but the combination of small portions, high prices made this visit disappointing.

The Botanica was absolutely incredible. I hosted my friends hens there and it was perfection. To begin with Sara was the most helpful and responsive contact I’ve come across. She made the whole process so simple and really accommodated wherever possible. On the day of the event, all the guests continued to comment on how incredible their experience was. The food, drinks and venue itself was an immediate stand out. The venue itself captures an elegant but fun aura. Sara and the team assisted with us bringing in our own decor to enhance the already incredible canvas. They were also considerate of all dietary needs and any last minute changes. The team there were welcoming and very kind. As a venue that ticks so many boxes, the Botanica in Vaucluse did not disappoint.

Nice location, lots of natural light great service, ladies checked on us regularly and were very friendly. We had the tasting menu and the dishes were some of the most nicely plated we’ve seen. The butter oysters were delicious as well were the entrees ( squid/ calamari and eggplant) lots of flavours and textures. The mains were also very yum but we preferred the fish over the steak however have to highly light the autumn leaves aesthetic of the steak was beautiful. The dessert however felt like it didnt quite match the elegance of its predecessors. A bit too sweet and wasn’t eye candy like the other dishes. Overall very happy with the experience :)

The Botanica is gorgeous. It’s like stepping into a lush, floral, and heavenly otherworldly garden and then being treated to magical, delicious creations with all kinds of wonderful flavour combinations. We loved it so much we dined there one evening and returned for breakfast in the morning. The owner, chefs, and waitstaff are all genuinely friendly and helpful, and made us feel so welcome. We’ll be back again!

What a gorgeous restaurant!! It is definitely a vibe during the day or the night! Absolutely stunning! We had dinner there and between the 5 of us, had vegetarian, meat and seafood and we all loved our meals. The staff were beyond accommodating so we went back for breakfast! We both had the OGs (vego) and we didn't leave disappointed. They made my friend feel extra special for her birthday with some tiny cakes that were just sublime. Honestly, all the staff are genuinely lovely people and the food is delicious. Would not change a thing about our experience!
