The Botanist is a vegetarian restaurant in Wellington known for its innovative, fully vegan dinner menu featuring creative dishes like banana flower fish and chips and Japanese onomiyaki pancakes. It offers a relaxed beachside atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, a good selection of local wines, beer, and botanical cocktails. While the food is generally praised for quality and creativity, service can be inconsistent, and some visitors note the breakfast menu is not fully vegan despite plant-based marketing.
