Matilda

Matilda is a visual and sensory journey. Inspired by one of Scott Pickett’s signature techniques, the kitchen is fuelled by open fire and hot coals, delivering contemporary Australian food, strong design, and a feeling of comfort and warmth.

The multi-level restaurant is situated opposite the Royal Botanic Gardens on the fashionable stretch of Domain Rd, with the covered outdoor seating area a popular spot for brunch, lunch or afternoon drinks.

Matilda, named after Scott Pickett’s daughter, celebrates the connection between people, food and nature. Stylish yet relaxed, it’s a place where guests visit often for the finest local meat and produce, cooked over live flames and open grills. The use of neutral colours, natural wood and native botanicals creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in the dining room. Down an architecturally renowned staircase, the lower ground level houses two private dining rooms and an outdoor courtyard.
