MATILDA 159 DOMAIN

Open flames, hot coals, incredible local produce

Matilda is a visual and sensory journey. The kitchen is fuelled by open fire and hot coals, delivering contemporary Australian food with a feeling of comfort and warmth.

Situated opposite the Royal Botanical Gardens and named after Scott Pickett’s daughter, the restaurant celebrates the connection between people, food and nature.

Stylish yet relaxed, Matilda is a place where guests can visit often and be guaranteed the finest local meat and produce, cooked exceptionally well over live flames and open grills.
