Botanikka Wine Bar & Kitchen

A group of us dined at your restaurant on Sunday, June 30th 2024, and it was truly an amazing experience. What surprised me most was that I had never heard of Botanikka until that afternoon. Before even tasting the food, I was compelled to leave a Google review due to my sister's enthusiastic recommendation of the restaurant and she certainly didn't oversell it. Here's what we enjoyed: 1. Grilled king prawns with mashed potatoes 2. One pan asun coconut rice 3. Chilli prawn linguine 4. Waffles and chicken with extras (the chilli in the syrup was very delicious) 5. Grilled lamb cutlets with mashed potatoes 6. Asun taco 7. Awo rice 8. Bang bang chicken 9. Popcorn shrimps 10. Mango smoothie 11. Oríṣiríṣi freshly pressed juices (watermelon was the best) 12. Chai latte Every dish was OUTSTANDING, and I couldn't resist trying a bit of everything - yes, I did share and steal bites from everyone's plates! This cozy restaurant deserves more recognition; we would love to see it bustling and fully booked. This dining experience is one I won't forget anytime soon. We even had the pleasure of meeting the chef to personally thank him for the delicious meal.

Botanikka Kitchen & Wine Bar is a new spot in Lagos, run by the same team behind the infamous Cafe De Flore Ikoyi and Tea Room Lagos. Its French-inspired interior and outdoor patio create a warm ambiance that’s perfect for catching up with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the Chicken Alfredo Pasta was flavorful. Overall, it’s a great spot for a small group to relax and enjoy some quality time together over breakfast or brunch. 🚗 There is very limited parking available. Street parking only 📵They also have a No Pictures Policy 👔Semi-Formal Dress Code Policy Follow @AweLagos for more must-try restaurants, activities & events in Lagos!

To be fair, I went in with a preconceived mindset. The walkway to the door was rather dodgy. The food presentation was lacking, but surprisingly, it tasted good. I doubt I'll revisit, though

Very serene and most importantly the food is prepared with so much love you can taste it. The service is great and I love that there are different Wine options to choose from. Perfect for brunch/lunch and even dinner if you want somewhere quiet. The dessert menu is very limited though. Overall experience- Great!

I am beyond disappointed with my experience at Bottanika. I made a birthday reservation for brunch well in advance and received a confirmation from the restaurant. However, when I arrived at the scheduled time, I was informed that they were closed for the day – no prior notice, no call, no explanation. This is utterly unprofessional and unacceptable. If you’re going to confirm reservations, you need to honor them, or at the very least, notify your customers of any changes or closures ahead of time. Instead, I wasted my time and energy showing up to a restaurant that was inexplicably closed, leaving me scrambling to make other arrangements at the last minute. Bottanika’s complete lack of communication is appalling, and I will not be returning. If you value your time and want a reliable dining experience, avoid this place at all costs. Zero stars if I could give them that.
