The Botanist - Wellington

Our favorite brunch spot in Wellington! The food is delicious and the service is always quick.

Big vegan ups to my new neighbourhood fave! Just wish I'd tried it earlier! Delish food in a lovely relaxed place. Great kids options too, mine scoffed his pancakes. Can't wait to try everything I can!

Popped in here for a beer after spending the afternoon at the beach across the road, and what a gem! They had a great selection of local craft beers and wines, and although we didn't have one the cocktails sounded amazing. We ended up staying there for dinner as the menu looked good, and we saw some other tables food coming out, we shared the tasty tacos, a housemade springroll with some amazing fresh and pickled veggies, some jalapeno poppers and fondue. It was actually all vegan we discovered afterwards, and it has changed my perception on vegan food! Wow, so much flavour!! The service was really friendly and helpful, with the waitress suggesting good beer and wine matches with our food. Our first time here and will definitely not be the last!

I’ve been here a few times and and always enjoyed the consistently delicious food and great beer, and the chocolate Kahlua dessert is to die for! Loved the decor, and the staff are really friendly. Good coffee spot too, especially on a nice day in the courtyard. #yum

I ordered the Jalepino Poppers for $13 and found the starter to be satisfactory. The ranch sauce and ricotta cheese added a nice, cooling flavor. However, I thought the poppers were a bit too oily and the jalepino could have been spicier for my taste. I also tried the Chickpea Bolinhos for $12.
