    If you like wine avoid this place. And if you typically enjoy good food and service there are also better options in Breda. I had high hopes due to the large number of wines by the glass, but unfortunately none of them were any good. We tried quite a few hoping to be proven wrong, but all it did was increase our bill. Some of these glasses were impossible to finish, which is rare for us. The food is so-so and the service slow (this might be startup problems). Perhaps this is more of a cocktails focused place, which we did not try. I hope this place improves itself, as the interior and atmosphere is great and the general concept is appealing.

    What can I say… Italian fries - my favorite here 💪💪. The Best French fries in NL! You definitely should try it! You won’t regret visiting this place 💯

    I've visited here quite frequently and it quickly became a favorite spot. Great place to visit with friends and have delicious cocktails. Super friendly staff, quick service and lovely decor/ambience. Food is also great, lots of variety to choose from. Definitely recommend, can't wait to be back

    The servings were okay but a bit small… The service was a bit chaotic, and they were always in a rush and impatient, not really helpful - except for one waitress who was really lovely. We had the tagliata, the Asian crunchy chicken, the burrata, and the fries (all delicious). I would not necessarily order again (good but not excellent) the chicken bites, the African chicken, the couscous, and the asparagus… The African beer was good. I decor inside is beautiful. I would suggest the management to guide the waiters better, it could be a great spot to hang out.

    Really nice place by the water to eat and drink. The food was very tasty and the concept is tapas style portions, so don’t expect big plates. Service was quite good and attentive, as we had someone with a severe food allergy and they took really good care of her.

    We walked in without a reservation but it was still possible to enjoy dinner at the bar. The atmosphere and staff were really friendly, food was promptly served and we really enjoyed having our drinks served by Benza who made our dining experience even more pleasant. Thank you so much for the laughs and the cocktails! We are already looking forward to come back :)

    Really nice location and atmosphere and friendly staff! However it took very long before we got our food (1.5 hours) and they had advised us that 3 dishes to share would be enough for two people, but we would recommend 3 dishes per person!

    It’s very pretty inside and of course outside is also nice as Breda is a cute city. Be aware that even though on the site they say that 50% is for walk-in it was fully booked when we went there. Luckily they were open to set us a table for one and a half hour so we could eat there before the reservation starts. For the drinks: The Perdo’s Mule is really good for a Moscow mule, the normal beer is exactly a normal beer. For the food: nothing extraordinary. We ordered the Italian fries, that was nice. The Espargus y Puerro is nice, the presentation is great but the prei was a bit hard and got there a bit colder then it would be preferred. The taco vegetarian is okay, highlight for the mushrooms very well done.

    A sweet place in the centrum of Breda with beautiful interior and friendly staff! The weather was great so we sat outside for a brief lunch and a few cocktails. The beverages not only have interesting names, but also exceptional taste! We were surprisingly impressed and satisfied. The food, however, is nothing extraordinary; we had the mozzarella warm sandwich, which you can find anywhere, but will give a positive point that it came nicely arranged. In short, I definitely recommend this bar/restaurant and will for sure visit again, the next time I’m in Breda!

    Delicious vega croquetes, dinner and drinks. A pity all the plants are plastic. Waitresses were a bit too often present, like they were pushed to hurry us out.

  • 2/5 Virgy D. 1 year ago on Google
    You can wait for a waitress forever, even when the bar/restaurant is not busy. As it was cold outside, I preferred to leave and go to a more customer-oriented bar-restaurant

  • 4/5 Jurgen Suijs (. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice located next to the singel and with sunny weather you can sit in front or next (on high chairs) of the premises. Friendly staff, regular prices and I like the interieur/atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Alexandra P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, cosy and super well decorated, however, food is something to really consider...not tasty at all at least the ceviche and picanha. Sweet potatoes were burned a bit. Give it try to other plates. Better to go for drinks instead of food.

  • 5/5 Janet L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was excellent! We had a large group so they brought several dishes all night long for us to sample. The wait staff was so helpful in explaining what we were being served and just kept the food and drinks coming.

  • 4/5 richi r. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good, with some unusual choices on the menu. Staff were excellent and service swift despite being packed. Very noisy if seated outside, opposite the restaurant, with noise from the water and car/motorbikes being particularly loud, making conversation a little challenging.

  • 4/5 Ana Paula C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for share dining. The food was delicious and all the dishes were well prepared. The service was good and the outdoor tables are a great place to be during warm days. My favorite dish was the picanha and I would definitely eat again.

  • 5/5 Cade C. 1 year ago on Google
    I ate here tonight at the bar and had a remarkable, creative meal. The food is small plate style so I got a few items that were all good but their small risotto was one of the most unique dishes I have ever had. The combination of vegetables and the mixture of some freeze dried to add texture was very inventive as well as diverse in flavor. I am limited due to a gluten allergy and the staff was very attentive to the need and flagged a couple of the items I originally ordered which I very much appreciate. The space is marvelous and the only negative really was that they had no English menu though Google Translate took care of that for the most part. Also, they signature mojito was lacking and tasted more like lightly flavored soda water than a cocktail. Still, the food, service, and atmosphere made up for it and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.

    Great service and food first time there will return when back in breda

  • 5/5 B M. 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe the best of Botanist is the service; very friendly, timely (not too slow and not too fast), the location is nice and the food is also ok; what more do you need……oh, the prices are faire and you can make it as cheap or expensive as you want by ordering more to share, snack plates, etc.

    Nice place to have drinks.

  • 3/5 Gynger B. 1 year ago on Google

    Nice cocktails, prices weren't too bad and the staff were really nice

  • 3/5 Sharlene A. 2 years ago on Google
    Many options to choose from in terms of seating places, you have the tables and high chairs by the canal (outdoor terrace), on the bridge, in front of the restaurant and of course inside. Decor is nice, staff were attentive, service was quick. We wanted to sit on the terrace but they said no because these were tables for 4, though 2 people were seated there at one of the tables (and later I saw they again seated another couple). I didn't like the double standard or at least the inconsistency in their service. They have an interesting concept of "sharing dishes", but I found that some portions were too small to be shared. The fries and tagliata steak were tops for me and price wise, it was OK.

😠 I ate here with a large group of friends some ordered pizza some pasta me and my boyfriend took both pasta and we decided to also share a pizza on top cause we couldn’t choose. I can speak for at least half of our group that the food was extremely mediocre. 13€ for pasta that literally had no taste!...
