The Stinking Rose is a California-based restaurant known for including garlic in all its dishes, including its garlic ice cream. It has two outlets, one in San Francisco and one in Beverly Hills.

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).

The Stinking Rose

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.
