Botanikka in Barnet

This was my second time here & it did not disappoint. The decor is lush, green & inviting. The waiting staff very friendly & the food choice is right up my street. Of you like truffle, you must order the truffle chips! My only dislike is that the coffee comes in a cup & not a mug but can easily be forgiven as the food is so nice. I’ve been with family & separately with friends and both times we all had a wonderful time. Price was average for the area too. Will definitely return!

Lack of options for vegetarians (unless you like eggs) and overpriced. I think they need to review their menu. Probably the least vegan / veggie friendly restaurant in Barnet. Restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the outside area is lovely. The (young) staff were pleasant and obliging, however I wouldn’t go back.

On a very hot day we were brought glasses of tepid water and when we asked for a jug of iced water we were told they didn’t have any jugs. My friend ordered a frittata with extra cheese but when it came it didn’t seem to have any cheese in it at all. My Caesar salad was literally drowned in dressing and inedible as a result. The service was ok and the staff young but helpful, but it didn’t make up for the poor quality of the food. We won’t be coming back.

Visited for anniversary brunch on a sunny June day. Managed to get one of the few outside tables with shady parasol. Excellent coffee and food, would highly recommend the wild mushroom dish.

Delicious food creative menu excellent service. Must try the sweetcorn pancakes. Nice private terrace. Neighbourhood social. Highly recommend

Amazing place with tasty and presentable food and exquisite service. Highly recommend Botannika in Barnet.

Best local place to go Delicious breakfast,great coffee,amazing atmosphere,lovely staff Definitely visit

I ordered the Botannika "Stack", and to my surprise I received these 3, tiny thin pancakes. Straight away I assumed that this was just a mistake as the menu described 3 fluffy pancakes at a price tag of £12?? After questioning the wait staff and manager I was told this is how they make them. I returned my meal, asked for the bill and will never return again. Atmosphere average. Management and staff very young and immature. Won't return. P

We came for family lunch and the atmosphere is really great, the food is very tasty and the vegetarian options are very many, the service staff are very friendly and helpful, thank you very much for everything, see you again

I have wanted to leave this review for some time Overpriced, the worst ceaser salad I have ever eaten, didn’t actually eat it as it was so bad. Skin On fries had no skin on and the service staff argued that they did. Service staff inattentive and overly pleased with themselves. Prefer to go elsewhere. Lost our and everyone we knows custom for life. Paid way over the odds for a very poor meal.

I have been to this Resturant a few times . The quality of food and service has been consistent and good

Lush lunch for two on a return visit. The Mediterranean brunch and pancake stack were both delicious. The brunch was small, but delicious. And the waiting staff can't be faulted. But despite there being three WiFi options called Botannika, apparently not one of them is for customers. Considering how poor the Spires free WiFi is, this is a real shame. We are invited to take photos at the feature wall and to share them on Instagram. But only later, when we get home, apparently!

Absolutely brilliant restaurant in Barnet! This place just keeps getting better. We first visited when it opened just after lockdown restrictions were easing and although it was good then, it is now excellent. The quality of the food is impressive - innovative flavour combinations that work so well - the truffled scrambled egg on sourdough and sweetcorn pancakes with halloumi and chorizo are my personal favourites for brunch. The service is perfection, they go above and beyond everytime - making me feel relaxed when I’m with a bunch of friends of my 1 year old! The decor and ambience are great and I think the price point gives brilliant value for money. It had become a regular spot for us to visit most weeks now. Thank you so much to the entire Botanika team :).

Recommended by a friend, been visiting since than. Beautifull brunch dishes organic and creative menu. Highly recommend

Forget the impending heatwave - this is where you go if you want to feel chilled. Everything just seems right and in harmony with everything else: the decor, the food, the drinks, the music and the service. It's quite rare that I have to take so long to decide what to eat as I can normally see just one tempting choice on a menu - here there were several attractive dishes and I genuinely feel I need to go back to try some others. The food was very nicely done and you got the sense that there was care but there was no pretentiousness. The whole experience was extremely positive.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast here. The truffle scrambled eggs are great as was the Mediterranean breakfast . Slightly on the pricey side but absolutely worth it. The salads on display in the window looked lovely and fresh too . Will definitely be back !

Delicious Mediterranean breakfast! Pancakes were massive and Jasmine was lovely and super accommodating for our 18 month old. They cooked her egg on toast and reduced cost for small baby portion. Just what Barnet needs!

We had great tasty lunch with friends. Great service. Sea bass and tiger prawns cooked in perfection. Definitely we will be back.

We were initially given the wrong menu on arrival. It was very hard to get anyone’s attention to ask for the lunch menu. We ordered & after around 20 minutes we were told the burger wasn’t available. Almost an hour after our initial order, which...

This place is just amazing highly recommended!!!! Enjoyed everything thoroughly, food, service, and everything was just spot on. We’ve become friends now, Jan is just exceptionally nice and welcoming. Lastly, I strongly recommend the dish Korean Chicken.. gorgeous tasteful.

Ive been here a few times now, and I can say it's always been so good the food is always so tasty and fresh.. So I visited for lunch this time it was absolutely on point..definitely be back again and again..

Jan was brilliant and very friendly, he served us throughout our breakfast and made a great fuss of our table as we were celebrating a birthday. Thank you Jan.

Excellent food with top class service. Would happily go again, superb decor and lovely vibe. Jan was exceptional, would recommend to others

Went today for lunch. very busy nice atmosphere. good service and responsive. I would recommend the Turkish Breakfast. A sesame crunchy soft boiled egg, turkish bread with a tomatoey sauce with spicy sujak sausage. plus olives in a mint yogurt and jam. (I ate it...

Having frequently popped in here for fabulous coffee we decided to have a meal and cocktails and weren’t disappointed. Good choice of food options and the cocktails were nice too. Excellent service in lovely surroundings.

Went with my fiancé for her birthday. Had an excellent meal with staff that genuinely cared and food to match. The katsu sandu was next level. Highly recommend!!

I was so excited when this place was opening. I'm vegan and expected lots of healthy plant based options. The decor is stunning. Very stylish. I really want to like this place but the service is just terrible. The food is okay but nothing amazing....

Excellent quality food and service. Very reasonable prices and amazing ambiance. Went after work had dinner and few coctail throughly enjoyed my evening. Keep up the good work. A local gem

Went for breakfast and to be honest, there are much better places on the High Street like Patisserie Joie De Vie. There is so much potential in this restaurant, its a real shame it's let down by the food - whole breakfast experience was awful...

My friend and I wanted to eat somewhere that was not our usual restaurant and fell on this. We were both very surprised. The food was superb! It has been a while since I’ve had such a good meal snd had to write about it....

Excellent location, great service, lively environment, and good food. I will definitely visit again with my family :)

Had a fantastic time with friends celebrating our end of Badminton term. Me and my friends were well looked after by Jan, Anna,Lili and Marco. Nothing was a problem . While we enjoyed the amazing ambiance of Botannika , our pre-ordered drinks, starters and food...

We went Botannika last weekend. It was %100 perfect. They have all kindly great staff. But the food was excellent quality. Even side dishes, dessert especially vanilla pannacotta die for it. They have most unique ambiance. You definitely don’t regret it, most recommended!!

Was recommended by a friend.. Weekday so it was rather quiet. Lovely food Beautiful restaurant Friendly and polite staff I don’t get why people moan about prices (of any Restaurant) As most restaurants , if not all clearly show prices on their menus 🤦🏻‍♂️ If...

Lovely surroundings but so disappointed hardly any veggie stuff, £10 for a tiny meal. tiny portions.

Wanted to try this place for ages. Wasn’t disappointed! Lovely cool evening setting. Amazing service from Jan and Daniela and didn’t have to wait long for the good even though it was fairly busy. Starters were calamari and also scallops. Stunning. Fresh. Then Main was...

We went to Botannika for brunch to celebrate our anniversary. The decor is really lovely. The waitress was friendly. We prefer to eat more vegetarian dishes when possible but didn't find many options. There was a grilled breakfast and a Turkish breakfast but no veggie...

I am a cook and this is what I do for a living. Therefore I am familiar with food and know what to expect. My standards are high. I had the beetroot salad as I'm vegan and there very few options on the menu. Cote...

This place had all the promise and no delivery . Hated the menu and girl serving us was appalling with a bad attitude and no manners . Would have loved to give this a great review but sorry did not like this place at all....

Awful customer service. I tried 5 times to book online without success so telephoned the restaurant to make a booking and was told they only accept online bookings. I explained the booking system didn’t work and was told to try again. Again no success. My...

We visited this afternoon for lunch and it was delicious. I had the Korean chicken it was scrumptious. My friends both had all day breakfasts and we thoroughly enjoyed everything.

5 out of 5. Great new restaurant/bar in Barnet. Friendly staff and it’s about time Barnet had places like this to eat and drink. Great for a glass of fizz with friends or a nice meal or hearty brunch.

Thought we’d try somewhere different for lunch today and so glad we did. The setting and decor was beautiful. Food was delicious. The milkshakes went down a treat and our waitress Ruken was attentive. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that there isn’t...

Had a really nice lunch at Botannika today. The staff were all charming and attentive. We enjoyed it so much we returned after shopping for tea and cakes- also delicious. We sat outside but the inside looked amazing - great decoration! Hope to return soon!

I would definitely not recommend this restaurant for any occasion, whether it's just a brunch or a bigger celebration. When we arrived at the local, we were served by a waitress whose English levels were appalling and communication was near impossible. As we placed and...

I hardly ever write reviews and living locally I have been here a few times but my last visit was awful. I have stomach problems and after 2 waitresses coming over to ask what I can have in great detail, I ended up with a...

Nice ambience and good food , really enjoyed it . Nice addition to Barnet high street , hope you continue to keep up the standard

My friends and I really enjoyed brunch at Botannika, the service was great, food was delicious, tables were nicely spaced out and we were very well looked after by Mehran. We will definitely be going back again soon, and we are so pleased that previous...

Have been a few times for brunch and coffee which we have really enjoyed. Since returned with friends for evening meals. The choice is good, one time we all shared lots of starters tapas style which worked very well and all the dishes we ordered...

I came this morning with friends having visited previously. Today was an absolutely wonderful experience - Mehran so looked after myself and my friends and went above and beyond to cater for us. The food was delicious, the decor beautiful and we were very well...

We came here for my mums birthday and all shared the small plates. All of the food was delicious and the service from Daniella was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and we will definitely be returning.

This was my 3rd visit, and wanted to sit inside with a family member, as previous visits were outside. We asked for a table for 2, in which an idle waitress informed us to wait for a different staff member whilst in the crowded bakery...

Lovely service all the staff is so friendly and personable- the manager, ruken has always taken care of me and my friends ensuring that we have the best experience

The food is delicious and customer service is impeccable! Lovely vibes from Jan. If you’re ever in High Barnet check it out!

Fabulous Saturday night out with friends. There have been other reviews about the service but we can have no complaints. Service was friendly and efficient. Wine kept getting topped up and the food came out at a nice pace. We particularly like small plates that...

We went for dinner. The decor and menu are very imaginative. The duck and the broccoli were excellent, the other dishes good. Nice people. This is a great addition to Barnet, I hope it will be around for years to come.

We only visited for a quick round of teas and coffees, and sat at one of the many outside tables. The hot drinks are a bit dear but service was attentive and very friendly.

Visited for the first time today for dinner, and had a great experience. Staff were friendly, service was great, and the food was good quality. We shared 5 of the small plates between two of us, and all were nice - particularly enjoyed the tiger...

First time sitting in the main restaurant after visiting during covid and then sitting outside. Food was still fantastic, however service needs to be improved. Long time waiting for order to be taken. We also witnessed other table looking for staff to either take orders...

I visited this place with friends and I must say, I have no regrets. staff was very friendly, food was amazing and the cocktails were to die for. Very posh quality place to visit with friends, family and for a date. Highly recommend to visit....

Really enjoyed our cocktails and food here. Service was very good and catered extremely well for a nut allergy. Cocktails were a bit expensive but very nice. Caesar salad and Ham croquettes were delicious. Look forward to trying the brunch menu

Like other reviewers, I had been impressed with the coffee, cake and salads served by Botannika during the lockdown. So we booked a table for dinner during the first week of them being open in the evening. We were quite disappointed after this first visit,...

We were all pretty excited when this place opened in lockdown. Friendly, quirky healthy food, interesting decor. But I had my first sit down meal recently and I was disappointed with the service. Very young inexperienced staff. When I complained that our food was taking...

Great food and really lovely staff, highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or dinner (also do great coffee and pastries that kept me going during lockdown)

We had bought cakes and bread from here before and both have been been delicious, the cinnamon buns in particular. When it opened for outside eating we couldn’t wait to try it, especially as there are loads of heaters to ensure you are warm! The...
