Forest Restaurant We are a small vegetarian restaurant located at 177 Symonds Street, Eden Terrace.

We serve a 3 course set menu which changes weekly, based on seasonality and what we have preserved. We’re open from 6pm, Wednesday to Saturday, and prefer bookings because they help us prepare just the right amount of food. We believe that we have a responsibility to run our restaurant in a way that is respectful of our environment. As a means to lessen the impact we have on our climate, we source the majority of our ingredients as locally as possible, and aim to create as little waste as we can.

Pickled potato salad, smoked cucumber tartare, capers, shallots, dill, and a pile of shredded iceberg spritzed with dill pickle juice and dusted with celery leaf salt. 🥬🥔⛰️
Made with new season perlas, boiled and cooled in a light bay leaf pickle brine so the seasoning goes all the way through. A Victor Flores trick from way back!

Baked onion w**d lasagne! Onion w**d bechamel, spinach, cheddar, marmite cream, asparagus, snow peas and lemon. 🫛🧀🍋👄

Onion w**d is a wild plant with small white flowers that you'll see popping up everywhere throughout spring. Also known as three-cornered garlic for its triangular stalks, it tastes like a fragrant mix of spring onion and garlic. 🧅🤝🧄
