Restaurant Botanic

We spent Sunday at Restaurant Botanic enjoying wine, service and most the dishes. Honestly, I couldn’t fault the venue - it is operated like a machine with super engaging and informed staff. The dishes were wide ranging in taste and texture but all consistent on bite sized morsels. There were a few where the botanic or vinegar or sour taste was too much. Overall, it was a nice, one off experience in Adelaide

This restaurant's ability to source and incorporate unique flavours into its creations is reminiscent of the way a painter uses their colour palette to create their artwork. In this restaurant the artworks are culinary, using form, colour, texture, presentation as well as flavour and story to take the participant on a culinary and geographic journey through local regional and Australian sources.

I had an unforgettable dining experience at the Botanic restaurant in Adelaide on March 8th. Nestled within the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the ambiance was serene and beautifully complemented by the lush surroundings. I opted for the "Feed Me" menu, which offered an exquisite selection of dishes that showcased the chef's creativity and attention to detail. One of the standout dishes was the kangaroo, which was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Each course was a delightful surprise, bursting with fresh flavors and thoughtfully paired ingredients. The presentation was impeccable, turning each plate into a work of art. Our server, Harris, was exceptional. His attentiveness and knowledge greatly enhanced our dining experience, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The Botanic restaurant truly exceeds expectations with its innovative cuisine and stunning setting. I give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a remarkable dining adventure in Adelaide.

Visited in Sep 2024 for lunch The meal the Restaurant Botanic was by far my best dining experience during my trip to Adelaide. The multi-course menu is an eclectic journey of flavours made mostly using local produce and ingredients sourced from the gardens that surround the restaurant. The meal is a well planned mix of meat, seafood and vegetarian courses. The overall dining experience took about 3.5 hours and I’d say that it is quite well paced given the number of courses. For drinks, I went with the non alcoholic pairing and it was quite good. This place is a must visit for a fantastic fine dining experience if you’re in Adelaide.

Thank you Jamie and Team.. WOW.. What an experience.. The food, the service and the atmosphere is a magnificent journey that delights not only the palate, but the soul as well. Jamie and his team are a well oiled professional team that deliver the most beautiful food and its story to your table.. Watching Jamie conduct in his kitchen is a kin to watching a master paint! This is a true 5 Star dining experience that should not be passed by .. I am not sure why this amazing Adelaide restaurant does not have a Michelin Star. Treat yourself 😉 you deserve it.

A very unique experience. As the name suggests Botanics is definitely the theme of this restaurant and it's menu. Which personally I found to be at times challenging. Over the course of a few hours which never felt rushed, a very wide range of dishes were fed to us. There were none that were too difficult to palette but some that were a bit more floral than I perhaps was used to. The larger protein portions were all very tasty but I would say on the smaller end of fine dining tasting experiences. Overall I walked out feeling a little confused. It was certainly interesting but maybe not what I would say is delicious. Well worth the experience however.

Incredible dining experience. Chose the chef’s table to watch these masters at work. Amazing flavour profiles. We enjoyed the matched wines too. So creative. This is refined creative high end Australian cooking. Come for the adventure and leave with great memories. Great work chef Jamie!
