The Botanist Kirribilli — A Leafy Local Where Gin Botanicals Lead the Way

A neighbourhood local with a menu inspired by Australian produce, The Botanist focuses on locally sourced and sustainable comfort food mixed with seasonal classics.

Tucked on a corner in Kirribilli just a short stroll from Milsons Point Station, the Botanist may not have harbour views, but the food and vibe certainly have you forgetting its surroundings in the best possible way.

Serving Kirribilli for more than 10 years, the restaurant’s atmosphere is homely and comforting with plenty of foliage inspired decor that pairs perfectly with the menu. Using the best of Australian produce and ingredients, expect staples like Barramundi, lamb and grass-fed beef on the menu, curated personally by a culinary director.

Dishes here are served family style, so bring a group because you’ll want to try a bit of everything.
