Our very own edulis Restaurant aims to marry fine dining and the creative use of Ventnor Botanic Garden grown and sourced plants. We don’t talk about vegan, vegetarian or whole foods… we talk about plant-based dining.

Much of our work in the botanic garden is about plant conservation. It is clear to us that we have to align the values of our restaurant with our values as a botanic garden. So our plant based dining evenings focus on real whole foods and new vegetables and plants that you may have never tried before.

• We are offering a six course taster menu
• Every dish will be introduced by Head Chef Brad Roe
• There is a cash bar (we will have a recommended Wine List for the evening to complement the dishes on offer)
• Guests are invited for a pre-event drink but the first course will be served at 7.30pm prompt
• We expect the dining experience to finish around 10.00pm and guests will be able to retire for drinks afterwards
• Parking is available on site
