Ortolana
Overview
Ortolana
The name Ortolana means ‘market gardener’ in Italian and is symbolic of our use of the best seasonal, local produce from local growers.
Ortolana was where we began bringing the garden to the city, connecting our food to the people and stories behind it.
From morning meetings, weekend brunch, coffee and scones, long lunches, slow afternoons or large group bookings, Ortolana is an exquisite haven in the heart of Britomart providing a warm, gentle energy.
