Botanic Lodge

With weather like this, the only answer is a warm bowl of pasta.

Cavatelli, braised greens, smoked almonds, broccolini.

For those craving a taste of Spring… wood grilled flathead, charred peas, pancetta, sea herbs.

Now serving lakeside inside the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

A table in the garden, a glass of w**e and lunch with nowhere else to be.

Join us at Botanic Lodge for a long lunch overlooking the lake, with seasonal dishes made for sharing and the Adelaide Botanic Garden as your backdrop.

A seat by the lake awaits.

Open daily from 9:30am–4:30pm.

Walk-ins welcome.

Winter calls for slower lunches, so we’ve created one worth lingering over.

Escape the chill with a seasonal lunch celebrating the best of winter produce. Expect comforting dishes including potato and leek croquettes, wood-fired roasted chicken with lemon thyme gravy and house-baked sourdough, alongside other seasonal favourites, all paired with a glass of w**e, b**r or your preferred beverage for $55 per person.

Available Monday - Sunday throughout winter at The Lodge.

Illuminate Adelaide is almost here ✨

From 1–19 July, Night Visions will once again light up the Adelaide Botanic Garden, transforming it into an unforgettable after-dark experience.

If you’re planning a visit, make a night of it and join us at Botanic Lodge before your walk through the gardens.

With lakeside views and Night Visions installations just steps away, there’s no better place to start your evening.

Book dinner, then discover the show.
