Botanic Christchurch

Wanted to lick the plate. AMAZING steak and the dauphinoise potatoes were spectacular!

Worse Lavish Lunch I would ever eat. Peach dessert is not sweet its vinegar peach. Beef rib is replaced with tasteless noodles.

Paid $70.. for bottomless lavish lunch certainly wasnt bottomless. The table was allocated a bottle limit which did not sufficiently suffice (two drink per person only) and the brunch menu we were given had dishes not available. Portions were tiny and def not with it. Dessert was ok but just ok. Tea or coffee after you had to pay extra for. Would not recommend.

We went to Botanic recently and unfortunately wouldnt recommend or go back. It took an hour and a half for food to come out, and when my steak came out, it was overcooked (well done instead of med rare). A few of us around the table had also ordered the steaks (med rare and rare) and all of them were cooked well done. The creamy mushroom sauce that came with the steak was too salty, and the dauphinoise potato was overcooked (a large portion of the potato was crispy to the point it was almost inedible). Unfortunately must have been an off night as it looked like there may have only been one chef. The blistered tomatoes and slow roasted onion were the only good thing about the dish which is unfortunate since the steak was $46. I dont usually post reviews but the food was really bad and so was the wait.

This was our first dinner at Botanic, and we're already planning our return! Fantastic and friendly service, sophisticated setting where you can actually have a conversation and be heard, and delicious well-presented food. Definitely recommend.
