The Botanist bar and restaurant has been spicing up the Kirribilli area since it opened its doors and references illustrious Botanist Gerard Fothergill, who travelled the world researching plants, and whose last years of his life were spent running a small bookshop in the very building the restaurant now occupies.
The Botanist pays homage to these historical and botanical themes of exploration and discovery, with food and cocktail menus using abundant offerings of fresh produce, herbs and spices, and if you haven’t checked it out already, it’s definitely one to add to the list!
