The Stinking Rose is a Californian restaurant known for including garlic in all its dishes, including its garlic ice cream. It had two outlets, one in San Francisco and one in Beverly Hills. The Beverly Hills location announced its closure in October 2021. The San Francisco location was originally located at 325 Columbus Ave, but moved in 2021 to 430 Columbus Ave. San Francisco, California.
The restaurant's official mantra is "We season our garlic with food". It has inspired two garlic-themed cookbooks from Ten Speed Press, titled The Stinking Cookbook (1994) and The Stinking Rose Restaurant Cookbook (2006).
In February 2014, the 38,500-square-foot (3,577 m2) site housing the Beverly Hills restaurant was put up for sale. It sold in September of that year for about $17 million, though the restaurant continued to operate pending redevelopment plans. It announced its closure in October 2021, with no reopening date known.
