Botanic House

Luke Nguyen's wonderful restaurant was made for this location. It's relaxed but refined. It's spacious yet cozy. It's filled with natural light and looks directly into the lush greenery of the Botanic gardens. We enjoyed a sumptuous Valentine's Day set menu which included complementary welcome cocktails and a 🌹. Every single dish was a winner, some were single mouthfuls of flavour whilst others were very generously sized. The sauces were extraordinary and the presentation modern. The staff were warm, welcoming and professional and more than happy to provide explanations and guidance. The cocktails are refreshing and the wine list more than adequate. One of Sydney's best kept secrets - will be back!

We absolutely loved our meal! The food was delicious and the setting is lovely. We had the set lunch meal with cocktails and wine through Red Balloon - it was a good deal. Every dish was interesting. We were given a complimentary birthday cake which was a nice touch. Recommend trying for something special.

This was amazing. Our waiter was the best. I don't do well with hot spicy food. But the burn was well worth it for me. Even the kids enjoyed their lunch. Which was a great selection for them

This is our second visit to Botanic House and again we were not disappointed. Really great customer service, staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is presented well and the flavours really are beyond amazing!
Also being surrounded with such beautiful scenery tops it all off.
This venue goes above and beyond and it really does show.
Thank you Botanic house for a lovely Boxing Day!

We came here for lunch, we didn’t have booking and was sitting outside for self service. It was still good. The food is sooo pretty and yum. Many vegan and vegetarian options. Coffee was also great.

Highly recommend and will be back with bookings.

Great location with a good view. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, menu ever changing to suit seasons.

Location is a bit out of the way as it's in the centre of the Botanic garden, but the scroll through the gardens was nice.

Only thing we can pick was very small, such as the mains being a bit too salty to our liking and water top up. Otherwise everything else was great.

Our family just celebrated my parents' 35th wedding anniversary and it was perfect! My parents loved every dish that was served and complimented on how beautiful each dish was presented. The service was fantastic and attentive, and the atmosphere was so peaceful.

What a beautiful experience of gourmet food. Must try their lunch shared special, minimum for 2 people. The snacks and starters are out of this world. My taste buds had a great time. I will let the pictures do the talking.
Predominantly South Asian flavors and menu created by famous chef Luke Nguyen.
The menu changes every season.

We went for Christmas Day lunch today, in one word it was delicious.
The service was friendly and Professionally done
I forgot to say a big thank you to the waiter that served our table. I forgot his name but he told us that he is the only Vietnamese waiter there in the restaurant

Beautiful restaurant in a perfect nature setting combined with delicious food was a 10/10 experience. The details in the food - texture, appearance, flavours, seasonal - was delightful !! Took my friend here on her birthday and they even surprised her with a chocolate cake. Very nice ! Will be back and look forward to trying different dishes based on what's in season.

Botanic House had excellent service and delicious food, the kingfisher sashimi and scallops are a must have! I would definitely be back. The venue is gorgeous but really humid, they need to install air conditioning.

We had the 7 course lunch on Christmas Eve. The food was great, each of the courses was tasty and well presented and plenty to eat. The Gardens setting is spectacular, especially in the daytime.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been too if not the best.
Would recommend to everyone
Food amazing staff fantastic
Can’t wait to come back

Having lunch with besties before Christmas. Delicious food, great matching wine, Very friendly staff. Ink is best hosted .We had a wonderful time.

Botanic House is an absolutely wonderful venue for a wedding. The location is truly magical, with stunning gardens and elegant interiors. The food is absolutely divine, and the service is top-notch.
Absolutely divine! I hope we get a chance to photograph another stunning wedding there soon.

We opted for.tje premium lunch which included a choice from 2 cocktails on arrival and 2 more alcoholic drinks or bottle of wine to.share. The food did not disappoint. Each course is beautifully presented and the flavours incredible. Only marked down one point on service, as upon arrival we were shown to our table and left for quite a while before anyone came near us again. This did not ruin the overall experience, however. Definitely a meal to remember.

What a awesome location and setting, truly special.

We had the deluxe lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The blend of flavours danced harmoniously together bringing the palate alive. Worth every cent and we look forward to tasting the winter menu when it’s available!

The degustation menu here was a culinary experience par excellence - 9 small, shared dishes of Asian inspired food with native Australian touches (like the exquisite small tempura battered saltbush leaves in one of our entrees). A great range of dishes with interesting twists of flavours and textures.

Attentive, timely service was appreciated, a good wine (an Adelaide Sauvignon Blanc) was served and the outlook from our table by the window was very pleasant.

The only negative to me was the 'up-beat' music playing in the background for the whole meal - which detracted from the otherwise wonderful ambience.

Overall, though an amazing experience for all of the senses.

My partner and I came here for our 6 year anniversary lunch (after it being on our list of places to go for a long time) and it was well worth it, our only regret was not coming sooner! We had the 9 course tasting menu along with some cocktails. This combined with the view, interior decor, great customer service and an appearance from Luke really added to the fantastic experience we had. If we could give this more than 5 stars we would.

Our favourites were definitely the scallops, chicken skewers, barramundi and the master stock chicken. And to finish it all off, we were treated with a special anniversary cake (which we couldn't finish since we were so full!) We're not the most adventurous when it comes to trying new food as we like to stick within our comfort zone, however, the different combinations of Asian flavours were delicious. We left thinking about the next time we would be coming back - spoiler alert: very soon!

Thank you to Luke and the team for the perfect way to spend our anniversary :)

Such a beautiful spot for lunch. Stunningly presented and tasty food. The servers were efficient and pleasant. It was our anniversary. In addition to the delicious dessert, we were presented with a piece of brownie on a sweet decorated plate. It made our celebration even more special. Thank you, we loved it!
