The Botanist
The Botanist serves innovative vegetarian cuisine with a strong vegan dinner menu featuring dishes like vegan 'fish and chips' using banana blossom and a variety of creative plant-based mains. The restaurant offers a bright, plant-decorated interior and outdoor seating overlooking Lyall Bay, with local organic wines and craft beers on tap.
