It feels magical inside! Awesome atmosphere & the drinks are lovely. I only had dessert here which was amazing.Very busy at the bar so I found it a good idea to get two drinks at a time …

We had a wonderful Christmas get together at The Botanist, Coventry. Great fun music and yummy food, eyes were too big for my belly though! Our waiter, Leon was amazing, very happy, joyful and had a constant smile on his face :D

A very unique place. The skylight is a feature which will amaze any person who will enter the premises.Friendly staff and good drinks with a lot to offer. We did not eat there this time but will certainly try something in the future.Decor is very unique, hence the name. Plenty of plants dotted around and a water feature!

A lovely charming place with great atmosphere. I had dinner here on Friday night, lots of good vegan options and service was amazing. It's really beautiful inside and they have seating on 2 levels.Live music was playing Friday evening and the band took music requests. Will certainly be back for more, when I'm back in Coventry.

What a delightful ambiance and friendly and efficient staff. Our server Rachel was exceptionally helpful and patient during our slow ordering process. As to the food we were there with family celebrating a birthday we all enjoyed the food, including the children in our group. The drinks are the usual restraunt prices. We loved our first visit, we will be going back there. Thank you.

Was here last night for a works team meal. We had been to one of the sister restaurants in Birmingham so we're hoping for more of the same. We were not disappointed.The location is fantastic being so central, and the decor is so relaxing and unusual.Food was great, the team mainly enjoying the great hanging kebabs that they do.Not too expensive and enjoyed by all.

We tried their chicken teriyaki skewers, ribeye steak and crispy chicken burger. I would definitely recommend the chicken skewers and the ribeye steak. Both were full of flavour. The ribeye steak was especially soft and juicy. I can honestly say, this is one of the best steaks in Coventry.The ambience is amazing with a glass roof and very spacious seating.We visited on a Monday for lunch. There was barely anyone around. There was very limited staff there. Because of this the service was a bit slow.This place is on the pricey side.

A great place to visit with friends. We went with some good friends of ours and were seated in the upstairs seating area. The great open space was amazing with glass roof above us seeing out across the coventry skyline. The decor is traditional to the botanist brand with plants and artificial plants all around. There are a couple of stream like water features as you walk around too. Each friday and saturday they have live music and band equipment in one of the seating areas. The quality of the food was great, my favourite was the hanging kebab, I upgraded my fries to the buffalo loaded fries, and again really nice, (just maybe a bit too much hot sauce left in the bottom of the bowl when finished). I would recomend the Camenbert starter to share, absolutely amaizing with the camenbert baked in the bread. You also get extra bread to dunk. They offer a wide range of drinks including IPA's and a full cocktail list. The service was OK, but difficult to get the attention of a waiter/waitress for the bill. We also had a meal brought out wrong, it was brought back out freshly made correctly whilst we were still eating our mains (withing around 7-8 minutes) all in all A great evening with friends.
