The Stinking Rose is a Californian 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.[1]

The restaurant's official mantra is "We season our garlic with food".[1] It has inspired two garlic-themed cookbooks from Ten Speed Press, titled The Stinking Cookbook (1994)[2][3] and The Stinking Rose Restaurant Cookbook (2006).[4][5]

In February 2014, the 38,500-square-foot (3,577 m2) site housing the Beverly Hills restaurant was put up for sale.[6] It sold in September of that year for about $17 million, though the restaurant continued to operate pending redevelopment plans.[7][8] It announced its closure in October 2021, with no reopening date known.[9]
