位於Shawnigan Lake​的優質農場直送餐桌​餐廳

The Botanist was recommended to us by our nephew and since we were going to Vancouver we made reservations at the last minute. Brunch was the only meal available during our stay and we have zero regrets! The service was attentive, but not intrusive (shout out to Jess, who was friendly, professional and helpful - always able to answer our questions about ingredients and preparation style!). We opted for the full 3 courses and each was more impressive than the last. The aesthetics of each dish, the quality of the ingredients and the flavor profiles were absolutely delightful! Being able to enjoy the courses with a mimosa and a cocktail was a pleasant surprise, as well. And the drinks? Truly inspired! And then live DJ was a fun addition. We left feeling giddy, and it wasn't just the sparkling wine talking.... we felt welcomed, cared for and well-fed. Our experience at The Botanist was the perfect exclamation point on an already fabulous visit to Vancouver. We hope to be back again the next time we journey north ...

Booked our table in advance and requested a quiet area, we got one of the best tables in the house, conducive to a long catch up. The service was attentive and friends with great suggestions for selecting dishes. We shared the daily vegetable appetizer, consisting of 4 veg prepared in different ways. Main dishes were gnocchi, spaghetti with bolognese and daily fish special. Finished off with a small chocolate truffle each. All were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. Cafe Brio is a staple in the Victoria dining scene for a reason, its consistently excellent.

The Tasting menu was superb with the wine pairings.

Food was very delicious, had the duck meatball, gnocchi, duck breast, and bread. All were very good hard to find anything wrong with these. If I had to be nitpicky, I wish the sauce on the meatball tagliatelle wasn't as strong/cheesey but it was still very good. Service was just perfect too, very attentive and friendly. Our family enjoyed the various lemonade flavours, especially the kids. Will certainly go back to Fable.

Outstanding food and service. We sat at the Chefs Table where we looked directly into the kitchen. Wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend for anyone.
