Botanique By Food For Friends

Amazing food, great service, beautiful decor. It is pricey but this is reflected in the overall experience.

The food is outstanding! Creative vegetarian menu with good quality ingredients. Beautiful contemporary design in the restaurant. Service friendly my only feedback would be to be slightly more attentive around extra drinks, water, dessert otherwise sales are lost potentially.

The venue is more beautiful now, but don't expect them to accommodate allergy concerns. It's unfortunate; it's not what it used to be.

The only available reservation times were at 5 or 9 o'clock. When we arrived, the place appeared closed. After waiting for 3 minutes, we had to call for someone to assist us, and eventually, a staff member came up from downstairs, acknowledging our booking. The restaurant was mostly empty, so we expected a warmer welcome. We were shown to our table, but there was a lot of confusion in the corridor as they seemed to be in demand for other reservations. The service was slow, with a long wait before we received our drinks, and we were told our table would need to be vacated by 7 PM. Apparently, this was also communicated to another group that arrived with a reservation. The food was good, and the service improved as the evening went on, but our experience didn’t start off on the right foot. It would be helpful if the booking website noted that reservations are for a maximum of 2.5 hours, which would save awkward conversations about timing upon arrival. Additionally, there was only one unisex bathroom, which lacked a way to indicate whether it was occupied. Overall, it was a good experience, but not an outstanding one.

That was an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly attentive, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I'm not even a vegetarian, but I really loved the food. Almost everything on the menu was gluten-free. I would definitely return. The pricing was also reasonable—£130 for three small plates, two large plates, a glass of wine, two cocktails, two desserts, and the service fee—and we left feeling happily full.
