Went here for Breakfast and it lived up to my expectations and its reputation.
Service was prompt and polite and the coffees and smoothies were well made.
I ordered the blueberry pancakes which were very tasty but I would have expected maybe a compote to go with it.
We also ordered the salmon with eggs and a full English breakfast which were both superb.
Good atmosphere, great location and quality tucker, though not quite the Wolseley!
I can't fault The Botanist, great menu, beautiful surroundings: well spaced seating, great art work, attentive service.
I recommend the basil infused bloody Mary a cocktail par excellence.
This is also a great place to have your cream tea.
The ingredients taste fresh and the menu was varied- they could do with adding another vegetarian main option.
I took 3 girlfriends out for lunch here and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Beware -the roast dinners sell out very quickly!!
I popped into the Botanist for brunch with a friend before doing some shopping on Kings Road. I absolutely loved it. I found the staff professional and friendly and the food was delicious. I had the eggs benedict and even treated myself to a glass of buck's fizz! I would definitely recommend dropping by- it was the perfect start to my day!
The Botanist is a shining example to all of Chelsea's second rate eateries. The service is constantly attentive and the place buzzes with energy. The food is excellent and I have been known to stay from lunch right through the cocktail hour to dinner, just soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the fabulous people watching opportunities. Nearby venues take note - this is how it is done!
I agree with the below review and think that this place is just spectacular. I have only been twice, once for lunch and once for drinks and dinner and found the atmosphere to be fantastic. The food was good, not the best I have had in London, but good for the price, and the staff were great and really diod make my experience. Will definately be back.
I am an avid regular at the Botanist and have always enjoyed both the food and service to the fullest. The staff are always extremely helpful, going in as much as I do, I marvel at the fact that they can keep smiles on their faces while constantly working so hard and so long. Reading the below reviews, I think that all establishments have bad and good days and you should definatley try The Botanist again. I have never been dissappointed. Oh, and did I mention the amazing cocktail list? With an ever changing menu(I think they change this every couple of months), seasonality of produce, charming and helpful staff, and a fantastic location, this place gets top marks from me!
Really disappointed with afternoon tea. The atmosphere is good and the staff were keen enough but it was all a bit amateurish - had to ask for plates and cups and spoons and milk!
The format and food was a bit rough - too - bread a bit stale, fillings uninspiring. No extra hot water to top up the tea. It's supposed to be an English ritual! The cake selection was more bakery than afternoon tea - one large cake that you have to choose before the sandwiches arrive rather than a considered selection that compliments.
All fine but for the price per head should have been much better.
Having eaten there for the first time last night we were not very pleased when we ordered some french fries which were quite obviously oven fries for £4 and then the leaf and herb salad at £4 was very poor value and was about two mouthfuls.
Foie gras was very good, albeit a small potion.,
The wine waiter was useless - he gave no advice and said the house wine at £22 was good, yes it was but it was not £22. there were other wines on the list which were better value.
one to watch - and its prices.
