Reasons to go
Full description
Petersham Nurseries combines a real garden centre with a restaurant built around vegetable-forward, Italian-inflected cooking, and its setting is unlike almost anywhere else on this list — greenhouses, potted plants, and natural light that give it the highest aesthetic score in this batch. Reviewers describe visits as incredible for both atmosphere and food, particularly for a special afternoon or evening rather than a routine meal.
At 4.2 stars and expensive pricing, it suits couples looking for a romantic, unhurried lunch or a leisurely Friday afternoon rather than a fast weekday meal. Its lunch and afternoon time slots reflect a restaurant built around daylight and garden views.

Reviews
Came here with family for lunch a few years ago and atmosphere was really nice, surrounded by plants. Service was quite slow, and prices were very high for the food we ate. Food was tasty, but nothing memorable. Food presentation was really good. Might give the restaurant another try in the future.
