Botanica Garden Café is a tranquil oasis in Waverton where guests can escape the hustle of Sydney city life. Established in 2012, the former nursery’s polished timber walls and bare hanging light bulbs create a whimsically rustic atmosphere while a bright mural-lined courtyard provides the perfect spot for guests to soak up the sun. The vibrant café is passionate about sustainability and giving back to the community – all tips are donated to charities. Meanwhile, the menu focuses on classic recipes with exciting contemporary twists – think house-cured smoked salmon on brioche and salted and pepper squid with Vietnamese salad drizzled in sweet chilli dressing. Botanica is also available for functions with up to 50 guests.
