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!

The Botanica is truly a gem! From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed by the staff including Bianca, the lovely manager, were so accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere is simply divine – it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great company. We celebrated Galentine’s Day with the girls, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely amazing! The Murray Cod was definitely a standout – so fresh and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was delicious, and we couldn’t stop talking about it! This place really knows how to make you feel special. We will definitely be coming back to The Botanica for more fantastic food and an all-around great experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful time with great food and service!

I had dinner at Botanica Restaurant in Vaucluse this past Saturday and I was genuinely impressed by both the service and the cuisine. As an Italian, I can say I have a strong cultural connection to food—and this was something truly special. The dishes were full of flavour, with a brilliant fusion of tastes that managed to be both innovative and deeply comforting. Head Chef Abby has done an outstanding job creating food that speaks to the emotions—every plate was a small journey for the palate. On top of that, the service in the dining room was exceptional. It was a real pleasure to meet Sara, the restaurant manager. She was not only incredibly professional, but the way she introduced the dishes and guided the experience made me forget everything else for two hours. A special mention also goes to the assistant floor manager, who supported the service seamlessly and contributed to the relaxed, well-organised atmosphere throughout the night. And the barman deserves credit too—he prepared some truly excellent cocktails that paired perfectly with the food and helped us strike just the right balance between flavour and fun. It was more than just a dinner—it was an experience, and one I’d highly recommend to anyone. A solid 5 stars from me.

Having been to many Sydney restaurants, I would say this place is very sweetly appointed for special occassions, and the service and food is equally fabulous. We went in for my birthday lunch, and thoroughly enjoyed each dish. The highlights for me were the charcoal sourdough, Yellowfin tuna, Kangaroo tartare and Scallops. The sourdough was warm, which is such a good thing in winter! and the Tartare has some real beautiful flavours. We added truffles to our main, so it may be good to go before truffle season finishes. If you are looking to have a special meal or celebrate, just book away. They also offer to take a polaroid photo to take home with you. The prices are very reasonable for the flavours and quality of food.
