About The Botanist

The Botanist is a plant-based cafe and restaurant on Wellington's south coast, at 219 Onepu Road, Lyall Bay, with sea views over the bay. It focuses on plant-based cuisine with a Pacific Rim influence, built on organic, local and sustainable ingredients, and showcases locally sourced produce across a fully plant-based menu.

The venue has an easy, casual feel and a heated courtyard, and pours from six rotating craft beer taps alongside botanical cocktails and local and organic wines. It trades daily, with earlier weekend openings, and suits everything from relaxed daytime visits to sunset drinks.

The coastal setting, courtyard and full drinks offering make The Botanist a distinctive option for casual group dining, social functions and informal team gatherings near Wellington Airport and the eastern suburbs.
