About The Botanica Vaucluse

Set inside a lush garden glasshouse, The Botanica Vaucluse delivers rare, stress-free dining with a 100% gluten-free kitchen accredited by Coeliac Australia. Patrons settle into soft lilac chairs framed by living botanicals and natural light for long lunches that sacrifice zero culinary craft. House-baked focaccia arrives alongside charred eggplant and succulent Skull Island tiger prawns, followed by dry-aged duck and tender Wagyu. Pours from the bar—like the floral Lady’s First or a bright Botanica Smash—round out the meal, right down to bowls of house-made tiramisu.

  • Accredited Gluten-Free Dining: Every dish originates from an accredited, dedicated gluten-free kitchen, eliminating cross-contamination anxiety.
  • Lush Glasshouse Setting: Surrounded by lush greenery, living herb gardens, and soft lilac decor tailored for milestones and slow brunches.
  • Seasonal Garden Fare: Features fresh seasonal plates like woodfired focaccia, tiger prawns, and house tiramisu alongside botanical cocktails.
