The Botanist - Wellington

Delicious food! Had the banana blossom fish and chips which was awesome and very.. fish like.. which is good if you like fish! Also had a couple of cocktails that were good. Unfortunately I felt like our presence was annoying the staff and didn’t manage to get a smile out of the server the entire evening

New to wellington and was looking for a vegetarian place with lods of options desperately when my friend took me to The Botanist and trying their food is worth. Friendy staff, packed with people, good to see laugh on other's face while enjoying your meal. Presentation of the food is lovely. I was admiring every one's order coming out from the kitchen.

Big vegan ups to my new neighbourhood fave! Just wish I'd tried it earlier! Delish food in a lovely relaxed place. Great kids options too, mine scoffed his pancakes. Can't wait to try everything I can!

Had the most delicious brunch here! The food was amazing! Not usually a sweet brekkie person but the pancakes were sooo good and also got a side of hot chips which were so fresh and crunchy! The cafe itself is super pretty too! Only downfall was that the waitress was quite rude and inattentive which was disappointing but the food made up for it!

I always thought vegetarian food was the reserve of sad hippies who chomped on boiled cabbage and mung beans. We actually popped into The Botanist quite by change not knowing its vegetarian emphasis (guess the name should have been a give away but in fairness it was dark out).<br/ <br/ Well long story short the food was excellent and has changed my perspective on vegetarians. The entree was bread with nicely grilled cheese and asparagus, I love the latter so that was always going to be a winner plus a burger which I approached sceptically but was in fact delicious. Cheesecake for desert with non dairy ice cream.I had no idea it could be so good but it was! <br/ <br/ Service was laid back but for the most part I was pretty happy. I'm kind of a relaxed person myself so the pacing and the easy vibe of the place suited me. <br/ <br/ I'd say definitely will be back again and can recommend but give yourself some time and keep an open mind!
