Restaurant Botanica

Best Known For

Shiraz braised Manning Valley beef, parsnip puree, bourguignon garnish and English spinach.

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 wild-caught Eden kingfish ceviche, grapefruit, finger limes and chives, before mains such as confit Redgate duck leg, red cabbage and Southern Downs hazelnuts; making sure to leave room for dark chocolate mousse, spiced quince and tokay ice cream.
