About Botanist Vancouver

Pacific Northwest fine dining rooted in botanical principles.

Botanist opened in 2016 as the flagship restaurant of Fairmont Pacific Rim, Vancouver's premier waterfront luxury hotel at 1038 Canada Place. The restaurant was designed around a botanical philosophy -- every element of the food, beverage, and environment traces back to the plant world and the Pacific Northwest's extraordinary biodiversity of land and sea.

The kitchen works directly with local farmers, foragers, and fishers to source produce rooted from the region's soil, sustainably caught seafood, and organic agricultural products from nearby suppliers. The beverage program -- led by Creative Beverage Director Grant Sceney -- has earned national recognition for its cocktail innovation, with original creations alongside a curated BC wine list that champions local producers from the Okanagan, Similkameen, and Vancouver Island.

The venue itself spans multiple spaces: a main dining room, the Botanist Bar and Cocktail Lab, a garden, and a library -- all unified by botanical design motifs and a commitment to an immersive dining environment.
