👍👍 Beautiful place in the heart of the city, just next to the city Hall. Installed in the basement of a town house. Unique interior, friendly service, dishes are presented trendy and stylish. The chef really has good taste. We’ve tried donuts with mussels, seafood soup, slow cooker tongue, chicken sala... People often mention service, good, dinner, nice, atmosphere, great,

    Happy to accidentally stumble upon this place while looking for a degustation dinner 🥘 Interior is extremely cosy, the dinner was well prepared & the cocktails were just perfect. We came in on a Wednesday so it was not too crowded and everything came in quickly. If you have a free moment, you know where to go 🍸

    Authentic place, great atmosphere. Perfect for a night out with friends. Not to fancy, in a positive sense. Staff was unforunately inattentive and unhelpful, I asked to have half a starter (two pieces instead of four) and another dish with sauce on the side and they just smirked at me and said no. Menu was limited and difficult to navigate through. Once the food arrived it was all very very good. Beautiful plating, decorative and well thought through.

    Seriously the coziest place in town. Good music, really nice coctails, beautiful people. Good restaurant just got opened downstairs so you can go there if the weather is ugly. 10/10

    Nice place to spend time in the Vilnius oldtown. Snacks are good, but cocktails are even better.

    We came to Botanist for dinner with a group of 10. The place was empty (at least the terrace), the food was actually very nice. But the service was simply terrible. It felt like they had new hires with no experience and no manager to look after the service. We ordered food, and after we ate the table wasn’t clear for the rest of the dinner.. eventually one person from our group just started clearing the table and putting the dirty dishes on the empty table but even that did not bring waiter’s attention 😣 during the dinner I asked for more bread, and the waiter just said “no, it’s not possible, it’s not on the till”, but the other waiter eventually brought the sliced bread to the table (but by that time we finished the food). Everyone was a bit frustrated which was very unfortunate given that the food tasted nice, beautiful location etc.

    Great cozy, place just around the corner of the Capitol building. Good selection of cocktails and some interesting snacks make it a great place to meet with freands and chill for a few hours. The only complain would be the very long wait time if you ordered any food.

    Went here for a couple time already, service was always very good. The environment is so welcoming, summery and chilled 🥰 Their sweet potato fries are as good as expected, so are the other snacks. Nice selection of drinks, and also virgin cocktails. You couldn't distinguish between a Virgin Aperol Spritz from your usual one. Recommended!

    We had a great dinner at ‚Botanist‘! The restaurant offers a wide variety of different foods - although not that many vegetarian options. We have chosen several starters and mains and were not disappointed: the food was very delicious and freshly made! The restaurant itself is a beautiful location - rather big, but still not too noisy.

    Unfortunately the poor service by the Manager and her lack of management skills ruined our dinner ! ! Since the moment we stepped in , she walked us in our table and left the menus without a smile or even a word!! Food was ok, but The water was expired, the glass of wine I ordered had a stain by a lip glose (change it without any apologies) , have forgotten our main courses (!) and we have been served the dessert first and the main courses after! As you understand this is not up to anybody’s standards… the most unacceptable though was her attitude towards the bill where she only took the …water of the bill without any apologies . Well done Botanist. P.S you ruined the kitchen’s effort!

    Great atmosphere but rather mediocre food. The burger bun was not edible and was perhaps older than me, meat was ok-ish. ;( Loved crisp avocado though.

  • 1/5 Jurgita B. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible food and wine. The place pretending to be a restaurant. Huge disappointment.

  • 5/5 Ignas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Has variety of very good gin&tonics and their terrace is super cozy - a very nice place to spend the evening.

  • 5/5 Sergey D. 9 months ago on Google
    Cool atmospheric place. I was on terrace. There was music, beautiful dishes, very polite waitresses. For me would like to more big portions for that price. I left in a very good mood. Thanks.

    Probably best food I've had in Europe so far. The dishes were very savory and flavorful. Presentation exquisite. Service was lovely. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Pieter J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and cosy terrace in the back. There was a DJ playing music, which created a nice atmosphere, yet not too loud. Good place to have a drink. Food was okay, but average. Better to go for a deink and a snack, as foodwose there are a lot of nicer options around.

    The best steak that I've had in Vilnius for a while. We have been there during Lithuanian Gastronomy Week and tried special menu: camembert cheese, Paraguayan steak and lava cake. Enjoyed every bit, highly recommended.

    It is a great spot for a chill night out. The cozy atmosphere, good music, and friendly owners make it a winner. The cocktail menu is solid, with creative drinks for different tastes. If you're looking for a laid-back place to hang out with friends.

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
