The Botanist in Kensington and Chelsea

The Best Bistro in the United Kingdom apart from The Arlington ( Previously 'Le Caprice) in St James' beloved of Her Royal Highness the late DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES wife to King Charles. RIP On arrival to the BOTANIST if you are really fortunate and you behave yourself correctly you will be greeted at the door by the Maitre d' ANTONIO With understated aplomb and pernicious which incrementally gets better as you either make your way to the bar to be served and assisted by CHRISTOPHER - the Head Barman ably assisted by 'HARI' - not to be mistaken as 'Mr Potter' and and you have now well and truly arrived. Thank God for this wonderful establishment. Deo gratia; Maria Immaculate ora pro noise Amen Dom John Frederick George (Ignatius) Wilson. E.C.B THE ECUMENICAL COMPASSION BROTHERS

The Botanist is located perfectly near Sloane Square tube station. I had breakfast there . The food was excellent. And was the coffee! I would recommend the salmon & scrambled eggs ! We were attended to by a very polite & cheerful Hari who was clearly overworked, this place seemed completely understaffed on that day ! Would definitely go back!

Amazing place, the food is lovely and I had a very tasty sticky toffee pudding!

The best bar restaurant in Chelsea !!

Food was amazing and Angelina was such an incredible host. Great energy and always attentive

My husband met here nearly 10 years ago and we are regulars so we come for drinks a few times a week and we absolutely love it here and the last time we were there our fabulous server Antonella severed us , we always have the best friendly service and she was amazingly charming and knowledgeable about the food and wines available.

I love The Botanist, it's my favourite restaurant in Sloane Square and try to go there every time I can . Harikrishnan looked after us and he was kind and swift. Will see me soon there.

Angelina was our waitress. She was so patient and kind with the most pleasant energy. Whoever the chef is wow wow wow. We ate till our heart was content! A massive thank you to the head chef and the rest. I will be coming back, God willing. Food was 10/10 Visited 22/02/15

Brilliant bottomless brunch. Lewis our waiter was amazing! Food was great. They bought desert out for my mums birthday which was a great touch!

I am here in London for a few days and at the bar for a few nights. I was by the bar observing Robert, a handsome blonde bartender. For me and the people he served he was gregarious, positive, super skilled at his craft and gave me some awesome tips. Well recommend the Botanist and Robert. Thank you.

Swetha is so lovely , we will always come back. The ambiance and cocktails are unmatched

A very welcome lunchtime ‘spontaneous meander’ into The Botanist at Sloane Square, was a very nice treat tout seul! Lovely service, decor & food, great location close to Duke of York’s, Pavilion & Kings Road.

We went after the show at Cardogan Hall and Antonella was very professional and friendly and offered advice on good cocktails. A wonderful evening made even more special my Antonella.

Anotella is amazing! Great service and warm welcome!

Great location and lovely, attentive staff - good selection on the menu

Nice decor very attentive staff great atmosphere we started with oysters fresh and tasty then we had lobster spaghetti from the specials it was just horrible swimming in a dark brown soup that had a horrible bitter taste we complained and the manager wouldn’t come to our table they took one meal off the bill but it ruined our night and I feel we should not have had to pay for the mains awful experience

Angelina was absolutely amazing! Wonderful waitress, was very kind to us. Very tasty food, thanks to the chef. The prosecco was wonderful! As much as I am not a big fan, I enjoyed this prosecco. I had a very good time, thanks for the wonderful service.

Exquisite service from Taz @ Slone Sqr today. Had the most lovely lunch stop, can't wait to come back. Divine Dover Sole. More soon pls!

Very nice, quiet atmosphere with tasty food Sometimes music is a little bit loud

We celebrated a friend's birthday with a lovely brunch at Botanist last weekend and we had an awesome time - food arrived swiftly and everything was delicious and our attentive server, Angelina made sure that we were well looked after! I would definitely recommend opting in for the bottomless option.

Angelina was wonderful today we had excellent service for our bottomless brunch 5 🌟

Angelina was amazing she truly made us feel at home and her service was on top.. genuinely lovely.

Post theatre and post big lunch so we shared courses. But the service and the food were great. It sealed a good evening.

Certainly! Here’s a glowing review for Angelina: Exceptional Service by Angelina! I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Angelina, and I must say, she truly made a difference in our experience. She was incredibly attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her professionalism, politeness, and warm personality stood out, making us feel genuinely welcomed. Angelina strikes the perfect balance between discretion and friendliness, making every interaction smooth and pleasant. It’s rare to find someone who embodies such dedication and kindness in their service. She turned what was already a great dining experience into something exceptional. If you have the chance to be served by Angelina, consider yourself lucky! Highly recommend her outstanding service.

Absolutely amazing night - really well looked after by Robert who knocked up any cocktail we asked for and made us feel really special. Thank you!

The Botanist in Sloane Square was simply superb. Wonderful venue delicious food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend for value for money and standard of food and service delivery.

We had a great night at The Botanist. Angelina was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of all night. The food was equally as great. We loved chatting to Angelina and hope to be back soon!

Great service from Agelina. She made sure our glasses were full at thebottomless brunch. Highly recommend

The food, drinks and desserts were absolutely delicious – everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, with a special shoutout to Angelina and Costa for their exceptional service. We will definitely be coming back with great pleasure. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing service there’. especially, Antonella! She looked after us very well! We will be back here soon because of her!

A delicious evening at this lovely restaurant, made particularly special by our charming waitress, Taz. She was conscientious, attentive and engaging and we very much enjoyed chatting with her. An asset to the company, we wish her every success and happiness in her career.

I have been to botanist for lunch with my family. Served by the muslim waitress from my country. Can’t exactly recall her name maybe it was kaz. But she was so well behaved made my mom feel so comfortable. She recommended us good food and dessert. Definitely visit again for my next tour. Highly recommend restaurant.

Great experience, especially the service of Emilija was great!

Positives: Lively bar area, nice dining room, great beverage menu, convenient location with parking options nearby and good service by a lady and a gentleman both dressed in black suits at the beginning and towards the end of dinner. Food was above average, but could definitely be better. Negatives: Abit of a wait at the entrance without anyone attending until called upon although the bar was busy but the dining hall was relatively empty at 8pm. A lady server in particular who wasn't wearing a suit was rather distasteful. Giving awkward looks, "side eyes", spoke partially sacarstic, impatient and overall behaved like she does not want to be there. Very poor and should either be retrained or not be in the hospitality industry althogether. Given it's price and especially such sour service by the individual mentioned above, I will not return nor reconmend.

Antonella was the best server waitress I’ve ever had! So attentive and kind, she was also really knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all my questions on the spot! Thank you so much Antonella! You were amazing!!

Pre show drinks before a concert in the Cadogan Hall

First time visit, we will be back. Excellent food, extremely attentive service (thank you, Harikrishnan!).

We had an amazing night in New Year’s Eve, food was amazing and service as well

Navneet was a great server for the New Year’s Eve dinner! My mother and I had a great time!

We had the chance to come to this establishment for Christmas Eve and it was great! We ate very well and the atmosphere was great! Special mention for the service which was perfect and pleasant! We had a great time with Angelina our waitress. I highly recommend this restaurant (Sorry I wrote in French but I was a little bit tired) :)

Spent Christmas Eve here and it was amazing! my family and I had a wonderful time! We had Angelina as a waitress and she was the best!!!

Average food, over priced pants staff. Plenty of room for improvement.

Opted for the bottomless champagne package and was astonished to see that they did not skimp at all. Food as always was excellent and the service - well the staff looked rushed off their feet but we still got great service. Really good all round.

Loved the champagne bottomless brunch. Also very friendly staff.

Had a lovely family meal. Lovely location, food and service. Would recommend.

Brunch was delicious , would definitely recommend and the staff were amazing and really nice

Robert made us a cocktail called ‘Last Words’ it was a masterpiece. Perfectly balanced with bold, intriguing flavors, it leaves a lasting impression true to its name. His passion and skill in mixology shine through every sip—highly recommend!

Had a family dinner here after a concert. We really enjoyed the food and had excellent service, especially from Angelina. For the location and the quality of the place, the staff and the food, the prices, especially the drinks are ok.

The waiters didn’t wantbto give us a plastic bag for our take-aways food. Plus the woman was not that nice who got rid of the dirty glasses outside, a little agressive. we wont come back.

Lovely place but tables too close together food ok setting lovely. Couldn’t hear my guest talk - who was new client as the tables other side were 300mm apart. Starter ok cod was a bit tasteless but my guest enjoyed it so that was a plus.

Service poor for the price. Had a few bites of the special pasta (orecchiette with beef ragout) it was flavourless and we found bones in it. Server took dish away without asking how it was or for feedback and we weren’t offered any discount. We asked for coffees, waited 30 mins, they didn’t arrive and were still included on the bill

Beautiful room set in the bustling Sloane Square glorious at this time of year.Great food and lovely staff

Only had coffee there which was rather expensive. Service was good as well as the surrounding.

Good service, didn’t think much of the food. Pre theatre Menu was a bit limited and very dull. Chose the location as we had to go to Cadogan Hall for an event but probably wouldn’t to eat here again.

Not great service from start to finish. When we arrived we felt unwelcome. We ordered cocktails, a bottle of wine and snacks to share. The snacks arrived first and the drinks took about 20 minutes to come after that. We then ordered more drinks but they sat on the host stand for another 20 minutes to the point where we got up and got them ourselves. One of the girls who looked after us was lovely but the initial.main host was rude, cold and unwelcoming. From the moment we stepped inside we felt like we were not welcome. Won't be going back.

The food was amazing as expected, the service was exceptional very friendly and welcoming staff, will definitely recommend to try it out.

Excellent and exquisite food, full of colors and sophisticated flavors. Premium location, great atmosphere. Ideal for the perfect date.

My husband brought me to this restaurant for his birthday celebration, and it was an amazing experience! This is one of his favourite restaurants in London. It was my first time there)). What a nice and cozy place! Our waitress Angelina took great care of us—she was super sweet and attentive throughout the lunch. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Thank you for making our lunch so special, we will definitely be back!

Great place for lunch or dinner, excellent service Thanks to waitress Angelina!

A great choice for dinner, with delicious food beautifully served by Elena. It was a lovely evening spent with friends.

Loved the pheasant dish and the service was amazing. Elena also provided amazing service and we loved the atmosphere. Thank you for a great night.

We had a fantastic afternoon, served by Angelina , it was a delight from start to finish - great food and definitely worth upgrading to the champagne

Tastey food. Would be nice to have more food options as only a few food options. Really beautiful atmosphere. Service was ok it took quite long for the food to arrive and for them to take our plates once we had finished our meal and we went up to them to pay as it was taking a long time. Overall a pretty place with yummy food just a bit slow with the service but would still recommend to a friend.

I revently had a wonderful dining experience at Botanist, Sloane Square. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was delicious, loved the sticky toffee pudding in particular! Our server, Angelina, made it even better with her warm smile, friendly attitude and attentiveness. Her recommendations were all spot-on! Highly recommend!

had a lovely birthday lunch at the botanist, Angelina was super sweet and very attentive in her service. would definitely come back, Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Had a light lunch there yesterday, before theatre. Food and drink was excellent, would definitely recommend.

Sunday no one in the restaurant for lunch and yet still slow and unhelpful service Tiny portions, overcooked stake and 36 quid. Avoid.

I visited The Botanist for a quick bite and some drinks, and Harry made the experience truly memorable. He was an outstanding host, offering great recommendations and paying close attention to detail throughout my visit. His friendly and attentive service made the evening even more enjoyable.

Lovely place to have a diner and a few drinks. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and delicious food.

I went to the Botanist Sloan Square on monday, for a girly lunch and Coffee, we sat at the bar Chris ‘s, coffee’s and service was fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

A good place for a pre theatre dinner. We went to see a show at the Royal Court and the restaurant was a few minutes walk away. They have pre theatre menu with a choice of two or three courses. They are great value. For money and ensure swift service. Well worth visiting.

Our waitress, Angelina, truly made the evening special with her friendly demeanor and attentive service. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, especially the toffee pudding, but Angelina’s charming personality was truly the highlight of our visit.

We enjoyed a very good early-evening meal at The Botanist, where the pre-theatre menu is a relative snip at £30. Tuna carpaccio and halibut were expertly prepared and thoroughly delicious. The dining room is elegant and comfortable, and our window seat gave us an amusing vantage point from which to observe the beautiful people of Sloane Square. All in all a great pre-show option for patrons of the Royal Court & Cadogan Hall.

I was invited from a friend to have a drink in this wonderful bar restaurant. We end up having a great experience and great service from Angelina. Thank you

Had a quick layover and came to have a drink. Chris Walter’s is the man. Made a fantastic dirty martini and great conversation. Great service and better bar tender even while we talked his ear off When I return to London. This will be the first stop. Thank you Chris!

I went to this restaurant for my daughter's birthday celebration, and it was a fantastic experience! Angelina took great care of us—she was incredibly sweet and attentive throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Thank you for making our night so special , we will definitely be back!

Came here for the botanists bottomless drinks and meal. Albjona our server was fantastic, always making sure we had our drinks filled!

Great service and was very attentive with us. Candela was very helpful and she did an amazing job her first day! Great service and would visit again

Good Saturday bottomless brunch. Excellent music & atmosphere. I had the steak and it was really tasty. Gytis was great, we never had an empty glass!

Great ambiance, great food, reasonable prices and close to many Theaters.

Drinks come out before you’ve even finished!! We had a great time and great service form Alicia Great food, great company and a great time!

Alicia in The Botanist Liverpool Street was a FANTASTIC waitress and brunch was delicious. Would recommend the Bellini 🤤

Great bar! good choice of finger food, great cocktails

A five star experience from the ambience, the service, corteous staff and the food was superb. Highly recommend

The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine our waitress Angelina, was dedicated with attention with such a positive attitude and we really enjoyed her service.

Unfortunately we had a bad night; table 6.30pm and by the time we ordered 40 minutes later they had run out of the hamburger (one of their most popular dishes). Alternative choice of food was sub par but Manager recognised the issues and dealt professionally. It’s a shame as I’ve been to Botanist many times before but whatever happened in the kitchen it just didn’t materialise.

We were greeted warmly and as we were early it was suggested we sit outside and have a drink which we did. When the rest of our party arrived, we were seated and given menus. We all had a starter and a main. The starters were very good - in fact the salad I had was excellent. It was the halibut that ruined the meal for all of us. It was dry, and too salty. The sauces that came with it didn’t complement it at all. It was very disappointing, and since it was our main course, it ruined our meal. The waitstaff were great. Too bad about the food.

Entered for drinks around 10 PM, but was unable to taste them because the entire bar reeked of smoke (cigarette + flavored vapes), even after attempting to relocate.

Nice place to sit down, relax and watch different cars 👍🏻

Staff were very attentive, we came for the bottomless brunch! as soon as we were seated the staff came with the prosecco instantly. Our waitress albjona checked on us throughout our brunch and ensured we were happy. I’d recommend this brunch

Very nice place to drink and eat something with friends. Always full of people and in one of the most exclusive areas of London.

The person who served name Angelina was very kind and also the food was great I will comeback for sure

I had an exceptional dining experience at The Botanist, Sloane Square, thanks to Ms. Navneet's incredible service. She was attentive throughout our meal, offering excellent service. Her professionalism and genuine care for her guests were truly impressive, making the evening feel even more special. Top-notch service provided by Ms. Navneet.

Angelina… the hostess with the mostess. Polite, fast, and always serving with a smile. My glass was never empty. Thank you, so much. We’ll be back. Great food. Amazing drink selection.

Came here with some friends and had an amazing time. i thought the service was brilliant very good staff The food was great and good cocktails

We had such an amazing Sunday evening, it was absolutely beautiful. From the moment we walked in, there was welcoming greetings and most polite/excellent service. Special thanks to the chef ! Bravo , most delicious food we have ever eaten, and we are eating out a lot. The value is fantastic, I thought 3 course meal with drinks 120 pounds for two is absolutely fantastic. From now on this is our regular, conveniently local spot.

One of the best English breakfast in the area, I used to go to Colbert but since I enjoyed the service and the food at the Botanist, this is my new place for breakfast.

Met at the Botanist with some friends for drinks. From the moment we arrived they made us feel very welcomed and Angelina is a great asset to the restaurant. Her attentiveness and care for great customer service is certainly a skill that is becoming harder to experience nowadays. Angelinas excellent service made us convert our drinks to a dinner night (and cancelled our dinner reservation we had elsewhere). It was lovely to be back again.

Food was great but Angelina was fantastic !!! Thank you Angelina you made our dinner extraordinary!!!
