Some of the best cocktails in York! I did find the service a bit slow in the bar area but the service in the restaurant was better. The food was excellent and the hanging kebabs are much better than they sound 😋
Came here for a birthday meal with a table booked for 20:30. Unfortunately a party was running late, so we were asked to grab a drink whilst we waited for the table to be cleared.
We were seated 10mins later than our booking, but that wasn't a problem at all.
Our waiter was extremely polite and apo
A lovely and cosy restaurant which is a great spot for dinner. The service was really friendly and we also got served quite quickly, though we did have to wait for 10-15 minutes on arrival despite making a reservation. The food was very good as well - particularly the vegan pie of the day which was
Beautiful food, staff are very polite and friendly, very helpful. Lovely setting, great pint. Average prices for a really good meal. Definitely will be coming back.
Try the hanging salt pepper pork belly....wow. Pil Pil was beautiful.
One gripe, flat bread a bit overpriced, although very tasty with
Definitely 5 stars. The interior is incredibly atmospheric and perfect for a date or just a nice evening in general. The staff was lovely and the food delicious. Wasn't overly expensive either, especially considering its central York location.
A must visit for those coming to York.
Awesome atmosphere, great drinks and delicious food! Was looking for a place to eat close to the cathedral and this one caught my eye. Was not disappointed! Bloody Mary was amazing, calamari was perfectly cooked, and the vegetarian wellington perfect. Would definitely go again!
Lovely place to spend our anniversary meal. Warm and cosy with brilliant service. Food was spot on and delicious. Also, thank you for the glasses of prosseco to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A nice touch 👌
Very delicious noodle dish...but I wish I had more. I had the noodles with chicken and only got about four pieces of chicken, whereas my vegetarian friend got so much more for the same price. The drinks, however, were amazing. I had the strawberry and cucumber one...to die for!
Mike was our waiter, he was really friendly and knowledgeable.
We loved our hanging kebabs, the chips were delicious, and the peach cookie dough pudding!
Live music added to the atmosphere and we had a really lovely evening. It was our first visit, but we would definitely visit again.
I absolutely love The Botanist, and York Botanist did not disappoint! Popped in on a miserable Saturday for a quick one, and returned later in the evening for a good night with live music. Would definitely return.
As many Botanist do, it does get busy, but for what it offers I don’t mind waiting a f
Fantastic restaurant and bar. We had lovely food and drinks . The service was wonderful
Really tasty cocktails, lovely decor just would like to see more seating in the bar area!
We'd booked a table for a party and a little 'room' area cut off from the rest of the restaurant was used to seat us. Service was quick and staff were very accommodating to our needs as we had a number of different allergies and dietary requirements between us. Michael in particular stood out as ver

Finally got to go back to the wonderful city of York, and the amazing restaurant, the Botanist. This is a city famous for their fantastic food/restaurants, and the Botanists is right up there!
It was so good that, again, this short trip we went twice, two nights in a row.
The first
Came here for a Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. Extensive menu, great mock tails, food was very good!! Staff were friendly and attentive. The building and decor are lovely, and very tastefully designed. They have lots of seating across two floors and many rooms. Would recommend if you’re sta
I came here with some family, it always has a nice environment although near the bar area can be a little loud for my liking, they had a live singer playing connected to speakers so people sat upstairs could still hear. I ordered the vegan version of katsu curry which had breaded sweet potato and I
My husband and I had a lovely dinner here for our anniversary this last week. Fern, our waitress, was lovely - very polite, welcoming and attentive. The food was very tasty, especially my bang bang cauliflower wings (my husband was very sorry he hadn't ordered them as well though he did really enjoy
Yes! Yes! Yes! In my opinion the Botanist is one of the best restaurants in York. This two floor restaurant provides a beautiful garden-esque vibe and friendly service to boot.
The menu has options for both meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Their kebabs are one of the restaurant's highlights so tr
Wonderful place. Fantastic staff and very comfortable place to eat and drink. We both had a kebab which was superb. The cocktails there cannot be missed. Have a few and relax.
We were greeted with a smile and our waitress was wonderful. Top of the game.
All in all excellent. Would definitely reco
