Our Menus
The Botanist encompasses a worldly mix of
tastes and concepts.
Situated in the heart of Kirribilli, the restaurant uses fresh, seasonal ingredients to curate colourful dishes and vibrant flavours with a Mediterranean flare.
Expect beautifully decorated dishes paired with an equally impressive drinks menu.
The bar showcases an extensive list of Australia and International wines and beers, as well as exciting seasonal cocktails and specials.
*While dining with us you’ll have the option of viewing our physical menu, or alternatively you can access a digital menu via QR code on your table. We cater for most dietary requirements. Whilst all reasonable efforts are taken to accommodate dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that our food will be allergen free. Prices and items are subject to seasonal changes.
