About this place Botanist

Botanist is the restaurant and cocktail bar inside the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel at Canada Place, on Vancouver's Coal Harbour waterfront. The kitchen cooks Pacific Northwest dishes, and the bar is known for elaborate cocktails. It's a mainstream gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. This is upper-end pricing, best for a special dinner or a round of drinks. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 from nearly 2,000 reviews. Davie Village is about a 20-minute walk southwest through downtown.

Fabulous meal. The food was delicious and very fun to watch Chef Amanda and her team create the wonderful dishes. Our server Brandon was attentive, knowledgeable and very personable. The Somm Michael was great. Enjoyed the champagnes by the glass, the pour of Sauternes with the foie gras, and wines by the glass for the sable fish and the Cornish hen. They have team service. They introduce themselves. Service was great. Attentive and not pretentious. Ambiance a 4/5 because a bit loud at times and some might love the vibrant atmosphere.
