Restaurant Botanic

This was the best meal I have ever had, hands down. We visited on our honeymoon and chose to sit at the counter so we could also appreciate the hustle and bustle of the kitchen in front of us. While this was the most expensive meal we have ever had, we would definitely say it's worth it and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone visiting Adelaide. Make sure you allocate the whole evening, because the meal is long - but flies by! From the presentation to the flavours, everything was exceptional, and we ate many things we'd never tried before. A standout for us was the duck, which we savoured every bite of. We loved how the flavours of the Botanic Gardens and local produce were carried through the meal. We chose the second tier of paired wines as a honeymoon gift to ourselves, and the restaurant sommelier was knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his pours. The wines were fantastic, and we travelled all over the world with the wines that evening. The other staff were also exceptional, and we had a beautiful dining experience at Botanic. The restaurant setting is stunning, and we loved every second. Thank you team, your accolades over the last few years are well-deserved, and we're so glad we could visit. Our only recommendation is not to charge for tap water - that's just ridiculous when the price of the meal is so high.

Australia’s best restaurant meets the hype. Exemplar service from the team, especially Chris, Alma and Julius. The wine pairing options were excellent. If dining for two, opt in for the chefs table for seats right where the action is. A four hour performance like no other. Food speaks for itself - and goes above what other similar restaurants have done, including Brae and Attica. No doubt the future for Botanic is bright.

Absolute perfection! It's no wonder this place has won Best Restaurant Australia. Not a single detail is overlooked from the moment you walk through the door. The food is beyond anything I've ever experienced. If I could give it 10 stars I would! The staff are exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable, attentive just the right amount. This is most definitely an experience that I will remember and talk about for years to come.

I feel this was not a meal, it was an experience, I also think I consumed more liquid than actual food. Because everything was spaced out so much I will never forget the butter that was served with the lobster tail, oh my gosh it was crazy good. It’s expensive but when you consider the time in preparation, the cooking, service and everything it’s truly worthwhile.
