Restaurant Botanica

Best Known For

Braised short rib, barbeque young vegetables, oyster cream and malted beer jus.

When pondering a hinterland escape, head to Restaurant Botanica at Spicers Vineyard Estate along Hermitage Road in Pokolbin. A contemporary dining room awaits, with timber tables, cane wicker chairs, scallop pendent lighting and glass French doors, beckoning the outdoors in with sprawling vineyard views allowing the eye to wander as you dine. A Modern Australian menu has been created with a focus on freshly caught seafood, local cuts of protein and produce from their own garden, ensuring every dish tastes as spectacular as it looks. Delve into plates like butter poached Fraser Isle spanner crab, saffron rouille and bouillabaisse, accompanied by a glass of local Keith Tulloch Pinot Gris; making sure to leave room for red wine balsamic strawberries, strawberry curd, shortcake and egg white.
