The Botanist

The food was outstanding! Vegetarian and filling breakfast platter (the Lyall I think). The place was esthetically pleasing with plenty of room and right on the beach. Servers were very curt with no personality, time, or welcoming attitude whatsoever which was disappointing but I went there for food, not conversation, so I won’t hold it against the establishment.

Never thought I’d be reviewing a vegetarian restaurant but I’m more than happy to review T H E TASTIEST vegetarian meal I’ve ever had. Dining here for the first time was wonderful. The setting and atmosphere is charming and sweet. The staff were friendly and attentive but not too attentive. IYKYK. I ordered the Syrian meatballs which were next level tasty! And the Lebanese coleslaw - chefs kiss. We also had the breads and dips and I can hand on heart say the house made dips were to die for and I almost wanted to finger lick the Ramekin they were that good. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back in the future.

My husband and I had an early dinner before a flight. Delicious as usual. Service was great, and quite fast, which suited us. My husband had the Dirty Cheeseburger, and I was just craving a plateful of Bang Bang Cauliflower. My absolute favourite. We aren't vegetarian, but we love this place! So different, and tastes so good!

It is a hidden gem, nestled just in front of the beach, offering breath-taking views of the ocean.

While the service is generally efficient, during peak hours, there might be a slight delay in getting your order. Overall, it is a fantastic spot for vegetarians and beach lovers alike.
