Restaurant Botanica - Pokolbin

Beautiful setting at Spicers with a view of illuminated grape vines, lit up against a backdrop of sky and mountains. The restaurant interior was cosy and comfortable. Staff were extremely accommodating, going above and beyond most restaurants. Food was enjoyable and as expected for a restaurant of this kind.

Beautiful location and very warm welcoming ambience immediately you enter the restaurant. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful and we were very impressed with the delicious food. Thoroughly recommended and we will definitely be returning on our next visit to the Hunter Valley

It was my last dinner venue on my last night in the Hunter Valley. Beautiful venue, and seating glancing out to the vineyard. (Shame it was too cloudy for a good sunset! A la carte and degustation options available, I had the degustation. Beautifully presented and delightful food. Courtney the wait staff was fantastic (and sent me home with a surprise gift! . A memorable evening on my trip.

As always, this is a special restaurant that produces high quality fine dining, top service and provides wonderful views – especially as sunset time. We enjoyed the five technically seven) tasting menu $130) and took the wine pairing. The courses were great, some brilliant the home made snickers) the portions were spot on. Perhaps the balance between the pasta and the seafood was out of line in the home made bug tortellini, but that’s just being a bit picky. Very enjoyable.

Outstanding in every way. The onion tart looked great on the plate and the flavours went so well together. The highlight was the mulloway with grapes main looked absolutely amazing, tasted great and perfect mix of textures. Beautiful fruit based desserts. Excellent service from Courtney. Perfect food rose from the hunter available by the glass (but ordered 4 so a bottle would have made more sense). Highly recommend and it’s on our list for next visit to hunter valley.
