Green is Good at The Botanical!



Hello Foodies,

As you can see green is not the only color served up in these exceptionally superb starters and mains. It is nature's palette combined with chef Paul Wilson's expertise that make this food masterful. Pictured above are the dishes we indulged in: the salt and pepper squid, vitello tonnato, and roasted sardines - all amazing. A lemony sauvignon blanc matched all the above beautifully. The Botanical is one of Melbourne's best restaurants and be forewarned, the prices are high, at least by US standards. At lunch, the starters went from high teens to high 20's and the mains went from mid-30's to mid-40. We were lucky forks to be treated to this meal. For dessert, if you can't decide it doesn't matter. Luckily, there is a sampling of all the restaurant's fave desserts.

Please see below.



This was a lovely farewell lunch to our stay in Melbourne. If you ever go, here's the vitals...
