Pacific Northwest dining room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver
Botanist is the dining room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver's Coal Harbour, open since April 2017. Executive Chef Hector Laguna builds a Pacific Northwest menu around British Columbia produce, sustainably sourced seafood, and ingredients from local growers and foragers.
The restaurant is organized into four spaces: a plant-filled dining room, the Cocktail Lab and Bar, an outdoor garden, and the TASCHEN Library for private dining. Botanical detail runs through the design, and the mood moves from quiet at breakfast and brunch to livelier at dinner.
The current dinner menu runs from starters like Halibut and Verbena, Scallop and Cucumbers, and Linguine and Truffles to mains such as Sablefish and Tomatoes, Salmon and Spruce, and Lamb and Gnudi, plus a six-course tasting menu at $180 per person. Lunch and weekend brunch offer shorter, all-day menus built around the same Pacific Northwest sourcing.
Botanist currently holds a listing in the Michelin Guide's Vancouver selection. It serves lunch Monday through Friday, dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday. Dress is upscale.
Address: 1038 Canada Pl, Vancouver, BC V6C 0B9, Canada, Vancouver
