Came here for our anniversary and enjoyed a lovely experience for lunch! We had their lunch 2 course city set, and the squid appetizer was flavourful and tender. The salmon was perfectly cooked, not dry at all, and flaked apart easily without any resistance. The flank steak was an excellent medium rare, with good flavour and chew, though if you generally prefer more tender cuts of meat then flank steak might be a little tougher for your taste. A wonderful atmosphere paired with great service and excellent food! Glad to have had the chance to celebrate our anniversary here!

Service from the first interaction was spectacular! Came to the restaurant straight from the airport, so had my carry-on and backpack with me. Arrived a bit earlier than my reservation time, so the hostess asked me to take a seat in the front lounge area while my table was being set up. She asked if I wanted a Welcome Drink of sparkling wine, but I let her know that I don't drink, so she assured me that there were other options for me since Brunch comes with two drinks. A few minutes later, she came back and asked if she could check my bags in for me, which was so helpful!!! I was then taken to my table and warmly greeted by Jess. She explained that there were two options for the Brunch menu -- 2 or 3 courses. She then asked what drink I would like and when I mentioned that I don't drink alcohol nor anything carbonated, she mentioned that she could get a mocktail without soda or I could get coffee/tea/juice instead. I was already ready to order having taken a look at the menu before my visit, so she promptly punched it in, and my first course came out soon after. Beef Tartare was a good portion and tasty. The lobster in the Benedict was cooked right! Not rubbery at all and egg was the right amount of runny. The dessert was also not too heavy, so a great way to end off the meal, alongside the green tea I ordered. Did not feel awkward or out of place as a solo dinner. There was also a DJ playing music the whole time, so it made my overall dining experience an excellent one.

A quiet solo dinner at Botanist Soft lighting, greenery, and a calm, intimate atmosphere. It felt like the perfect place to slow down and just be present. Service was thoughtful even close to closing, and the dishes were beautifully composed with clean, balanced flavors. The cocktail was delicate and refreshing, easily one of my favorites that night. The dessert didn’t quite match the rest, but overall, it was a lovely experience.

i was really impressed with the aesthetic and decor, they put a lot of attention to detail with sticking to the theme and making the atmosphere relevant to the theme and menu. i also loved how nice the menus where!! restaurants don’t typically invest much money into the physical menus but they were such good quality and so cute!!! the food was absolutely delicious. we got the lamb skewer. the hallumi starter and the pork belly starter… yum!!!!! for drinks i got a yummy strawberry cider and my husband got the tomato ceaser plant pot cocktail .. we didn’t really rate the cocktail , it was a lot expensive and the amount of actual drink you get is very little, mostly ice! that would be my only complaint as our overall experience was very impressive.

There’s a reason Botanist shows up on so many “best restaurants in Vancouver” lists. It nails the three things that matter most: a beautiful setting, excellent food, and service that makes the whole experience even better. The restaurant sits inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim, which, in my opinion, is the nicer of Vancouver’s two downtown Fairmonts. (For anyone unfamiliar, they’re only about a block apart.) If you’re trying to remember which is which, this is the one across from the convention center, not the cruise terminal. The dining room strikes a nice balance. It’s warm, intimate, and stylish without trying too hard. Upscale, but comfortable enough that you don’t feel like you’re dining in a museum. Service was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping us navigate the menu. The recommendations felt personalized instead of scripted, and every suggestion turned out to be a good one. The food is where everything comes together. Every dish tasted like it started with exceptional ingredients. The flavors were thoughtful without becoming overly complicated, and everything was beautifully executed. You can tell there’s a lot of care behind each plate, but it never feels like the kitchen is showing off just for the sake of it. Overall, Botanist gets the full package right. Great room, outstanding service, and food that more than lives up to its reputation. In a city with no shortage of excellent restaurants, this is one I’d happily return to.

This was our second visit to Botanist, and it was memorable. Manager Sandy made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived, which set the tone for a great evening. A special thank you to Abby, who went above and beyond to make us feel valued and ensure we had an exceptional dining experience. Her attentive and friendly service truly stood out. As for the food, the mini fish tacos were my absolute favorite, flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the sourdough chicken, which was cooked beautifully. We also ordered the tagliatelle, and the generous amount of truffle made it a standout dish. Overall, the food was great, the service was outstanding, and Abby took great care of us throughout the evening. We look forward to returning again soon.

An Unforgettable Christmas Eve Experience We visited the Botanist at Fairmont Pacific Rim on Christmas Eve and were thoroughly impressed by the craftsmanship and hospitality that made our evening truly special. We opted for cocktails from the experimental experience menu, trying both the Ring of Fire and Earth’s Energy. These drinks were exceptional—beautifully presented, complex in flavor, and memorable in execution. They showcased the bar’s commitment to innovative mixology and elevated our evening beyond just a typical night out. What truly set this experience apart was the service. Amber, Roland, and the entire team were outstanding. Roland went above and beyond, not only guiding us through the drink menu but also taking the time to provide thoughtful recommendations for our Vancouver trip. His local insights helped us balance out our plans perfectly, making him feel more like a knowledgeable friend than just a bartender. The ambiance and attention to detail throughout the bar experience were first-rate, creating exactly the kind of sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere you’d hope for on Christmas Eve. One small note: the late-night bar menu doesn’t live up to the exceptional drink program. We’ll definitely return to experience their full culinary program alongside those incredible cocktails. I’d highly recommend the Botanist for anyone seeking expertly crafted cocktails and genuinely warm, knowledgeable service. We left with great memories and a perfect plan for the rest of our Vancouver visit, thanks to the team’s hospitality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
