Excellent vegetarian brunch in the Botanist. Only came because ParrotDog was closed! But I really enjoyed the vegan sausage roll washed down by a glass of ParrotDog. Win, win. Yards from the beach. Great location and dog friendly.

Extremely delicious and everything was vegan (breakfast menu is not as they serve eggs, but the dinner menu was fully vegan!). Good mix of classic and creative dishes - we had poutine as a starter, followed by gyros and a katsu chicken burger. Yum! Good home made ice tea as well and reasonably priced. Would go again!

Had a great meal at The Botanist. We had the Katsu Chicken Burger and the Tofu Fajita Bowl, both were e excellent. It was a bit loud inside considering they were less than 50% occupancy and hard to have a conversation. Overall I would strongly recommend as the food and drinks selection is amazing.

Ordered the fajita tofu bowl thinking I needed a good dose of protein. Was disappointed when plate arrived with 4 x small cubes of fried tofu. I would have liked more tofu and less leafy greens. Dish was nice but nothing special.
