    Excellent food and the inclusion of two cocktails with the $89 brunch made the whole package more generous than other prix-fixe menus I've had.

    It was the most amazing duck I’ve ever had. A great incorporation of German food and in the way the duck was cooked- with a perfect amount of crunchy fat. Fat is flavor.

    Exceptional staff, service, ambiance, food quality and hospitality. This is my third time enjoying Hector’s creations and he never disappoints. The Botanist staff is worth experiencing as much as the food. Absolutely superb quality and food pairing, wine paring and menu creativity. The menu changes with the season but if you are around in the winter anything suck, lamb or pepper salmon is and will be divine. This is a must experience!

    The best restaurant in Vancouver in my opinion, taking into consideration all the factors such as quality of ingredients, level of cooking, service and professionalism of people working there, ambience! We just had a Chef’s menu and a wine paring to it. Amazing! As usual though.
