The Botanist Liverpool Albert Dock

Great value lunch! Only £8.50 for a main and just £1.5 for chips during weekdays. No service charge. Surprised to find such a good deal in a tourist area. Will come again!

Lovely restaurant & bar, we was made to feel very welcome when we arrived. The atmosphere was great, with live music coming from the bar area, our waitress was Tilly & she was very friendly & helpfull. We had a lovely meal & was so comfortable, we stayed to have a couple of drinks in the bar, after restaurant had closed.

Set in the stunning surrounds of The Albert Dock, The Botanist is a visual treat—rustic décor, warm lighting, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to order everything on the menu… twice. The highlight? The hanging kebabs. Absolute showstoppers. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and dripping in flavour (literally—watch that garlic butter drizzle like edible theatre). They’re as fun to eat as they are to photograph. Service was top-notch, especially from Bobby, who brought big smiles, solid recommendations, and just the right amount of banter. It’s the kind of service that elevates a meal into an experience—Bobby deserves a raise and a hanging kebab of his own. Now, the only misstep? The 8-ounce steak. Cooked well, but a little too fatty for the price point. At a place that nails presentation and vibe, you’d expect a leaner cut or a bit more finesse for what you're paying. That said, drinks were inventive, desserts tempting, and the views over the dock? Chef’s kiss. It’s a great spot for date night, group dinners, or just treating yourself with a side of atmosphere.

Absolutely disgracefull. Came in hungry and leaving hungry. We genuinely feel scammed. Over 75 pound spent on 3 Sunday Roasts and 3 cokes. No cutlery, zero customer service🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ avoid getting scammed, plenty of other beautiful restaurants near by!!

Good menu if you fancy something different and even healthier than many. Quite noisy inside so be prepared to raise your voice and listen carefully. Just a few seats outside. Good views.
