The Botanist (Chelsea)

• The prices are much higher at the Botanist
• The Botanist is a firm favourite of mine when it comes to bars that offer something a little bit different
• Offering a beautiful view of Sloane Square and is good for people watching
• It is a lovely place where to go with friends and family
• The Botanist is a unique place
• A very exceptional restaurant with a unique menu and the most polite and friendly servers you will find in London
• This restaurant is in a lovely area around Chelsea
• The atmosphere is relaxed but sophisticated
• As the choices are plentiful but definitely different
• The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was art on a plate
• I was never rushed and only made to feel as though I was the most valuable client in the place the night I visited even though it was busy
• Had bunch here once with a friend and it was satisfactory
• Dishes were served in small quantity and were quite bland
• I don't think their food is on par or a great value for money
• Mostly for their coffee which is always made perfectly (great cappuccinos)
• The ambiance is warm and classy
• All the food is great quality and presented beautifully
• Also I feel as though there are too many places I want to try in London
• The Botanist was recommended to me by my cousin who loves their Brunch
• Latte I ordered was also a very good quality
• The setting was quaint and the large windows allows one to see the opulent Sloane Square
• The staff were very nice but I believe the kitchen for Brunch closes very early which was a slight inconvenience
• The choice of the menus here is very nice the fish was cooked perfectly the staff are very helpful and always on point to decoration is lovely and is always very busy
• When asked if it was possible to have a table we were surprised when the answer was yes
• So we were able to get a table at the bar with the restaurant menu
• The service was still pretty slow throughout our stay
• Service is wonderful and the menu is nice and varied
• A fine and sophisticated place to lunch with friends/dinner
• When my friend Gemma suggested Sunday lunch at The Botanist in Sloane Square I was keen to revisit one of my much loved locals
• A busy night but was seated quickly enough
• The food was good enough from what I remember and the service was pretty smooth
• A good evening was had in Feb '14
• Went here for dinner with my cousin &
• I usually come here with my friend for a latte on their outside tables
• Last time I was there I ordered a champagne cocktail and it was so awful flat and just not tasty with whatever was in it
• I went back to the bar man and he was so kind and served us some normal champagnes free of charge
• I really appreciated how kind he was about it and that there was no huffing and puffing about it
• With 2016 already flying by (how is it mid Feb already
• We decided it was time for a morning of pancakes and eggs
• My good ole Greek yoghurt on the side (I just love pancakes/waffles/french toast with Greek Yoghurt)
• After a day at London Fashion Weekend me and my friend decided to finish the day treating ourselves to a nice dinner and we know The Botanist (Chelsea) was supposed to be quite good
• We were lucky enough to get a table although we were told we'd have to leave in an hour because there was another booking
• The menu is lovely and everything looks delicious but it is also quite pricey so we decided to take advantage of the set menu option that was valid till 6.30
• There was a small issue with the waiter being reluctant to bring us that menu
• Then claiming we were too late and it stops at 6.30 sharp even if it was still 6.20 and me having to actually show him the time on my phone
• I kinda felt like he did not like me much after that but he was still extremely polite anyway and the rest of the staff were absolutely lovely
• The atmosphere was very nice as well
• I would definitely recommend The Botanist (Chelsea) to celebrate a special occasion or to meet with relatives or as a treat after a day shopping designer clothes in the area
• The soft shell crab benedict wih jalapeno was an interesting twist to the classic eggs benedict
• The Botanist (Chelsea) is the dog's bollocks
• Let's start with the toilets
• We had the plaice with summer citrus salad and skate wing with beurre Blanc
• Broccoli and anchovies with capers this dish was full of umami flavours
• The plaice was a feast for the eyes (see photo)
• Worth the money to lunch with the Sloane Rangers
• Aside from the long queue and long waiting time (which we were actually still lucky as we managed to get a table on that very busy night) still all went well
