Restaurant Botanica, Spicers, Hunter Valley

July 2013


Since we were arriving late we thought we'd try the onsite restaurant Botanica.


They have their own garden and I have to say the highlight of the meal was the fresh herbs and heirloom vegetables, as well as the freshly baked bread.


They have a two course for $63 or 3 course of $75 pp. We went for the two courses and everyone ordered something different.


SEARED SCALLOPS
Cauliflower velouté, crisp pancetta and shaved fennel 
Two of us ordered this one...

ROBARTA GRILLED CALAMARI
Filled with pork and caramelised ginger, with a tomato, kaffir lime and coriander sambal

BEEF FILLET
Horseradish butter, kipflers, celeriac cream

SLOW ROASTED LAMB
Blackened eschallots, heirloom carrots, chestnut cream

CARAMELISED PORK BELLY
Soy, ginger, shallot and Botanica's garden greens
