What We Love About Potager Carool
Planning a visit to Potager Restaurant in Carool? We can’t recommend our nearby neighbours enough—especially when making a weekend of it with a stay at Origin House.
Since opening in 2016, Potager has put Carool on the map and has cemented itself as a delicious destination with a devoted following.
Here’s a roundup of all the reasons we adore this place:
1. A Seasonal Menu That Keeps Things Exciting
At Potager, no two visits are the same—their menu is ever-evolving in line with the seasons so that they are always showcasing the freshest local ingredients. Whether you opt for an à la carte meal, the tasting menu, or the daily specials, there’s always something new to sample.
2. The Freshest Kitchen Garden Produce
In French, ‘potager’ means kitchen garden, and that philosophy is the entire premise of the restaurant. Their on-site garden isn’t just for show; it supplies the kitchen with just-picked herbs, edible flowers, and seasonal vegetables, ensuring unbeatable freshness in every dish. Plus, wandering through the garden is a delightful way to start, end, or even pause between courses.
3. They’re Conveniently Close
Potager is located just a 4-minute drive or a 3.6km scenic walk from Origin House. While we’d happily travel any distance to dine here, this ultra-convenient distance is definitely a bonus.
4. The Views Are as Good as the Food
The stunning backdrop of the lush Tweed hinterland makes Potager as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate. Book in for a lunch, an early dinner sitting, or request an outdoor table to savour the scenery.
5. Ample Awards and Accolades
Potager is an awards magnet—and for good reason. They’ve won more awards than any other venue in the Northern Rivers, which is no small feat in a region known for its incredible culinary scene. Their list of achievements is too long to include here (seriously, make a cup of tea before reading them on their website), but each one is well deserved.
