Health and wellness restaurant meets luxury day spa at The Botanica Vaucluse.

The farm-to-table concept is more popular than ever on the Sydney restaurant scene. Now though, wellness has been taken to new heights at The Botanica Vaucluse. This food and retail destination situated in the heart of the leafy Eastern suburbs is part restaurant, part luxe day spa, offering patrons a truly holistic health and wellbeing experience.

As for the fit out, The Botanica is visually striking. The lush greenery of the garden perfectly offsets light pink hues found in the upholstered arm chairs and crisp interior. A plethora of indoor plants breathe life into the space, citrus trees adding pops of colour around the main dining room.

As for the restaurant menu, Executive Chef Carl Johnson presents a strong focus on locally sourced produce. The majority of ingredients come from Jamberoo Valley as well as the flourishing gardens in Vaucluse. For breakfast, dine on delights such as Acai bowls with Autumn fruits and coconut yogurt, plus green Shakshuka eggs with avocado and sour cream.

For lunch and dinner, diners can expect the full land and sea experience, with a mishmash of seafood-centric and locally sourced meat dishes. Not only that, but you’ll also find a range of delicious drinks including a house-made gin, and natural, organic, and biodynamic wines from varying Australian regions.

Head on over to the Botanica’s Sol Spa, which conveniently sits adjacent to the restaurant, and you’ll find a variety of enticing de-stress therapies available. Guests can opt for everything from a signature 30-minute massage to the ultimate Sol Spa 5.5 hour experience. It includes everything from body scrub to body wrap, scalp massage, signature massage, organic facial, hand, and foot treatment. Lunch is also included (see you there).
