The Botonist

Nice chilling place in island bay. I had a short stop before catching a flight to Auckland. Friendly staff and family friendly environment the bar has. When I was there, several young couples having a gathering with their babies. :)

Gutted to have only discovered this amazing eatery this week! As an almost vegan I was spoilt for choice of what to order! I usually have 1 or 2 options, so it was actually hard to choose! The food I settled on was so tasty and while I was left full I didn't have that full feeling that lags you down. I am absolutely coming back to try other dishes.

Great range of options available for dietary requirements and food is absolutely delish!

Yes please! The coffees are amazing, location is great. Don't be put off that it's vegetarian/ vegan. The food is amazing. The avocado ceviche, with mushrooms or poached eggs added is an amazing combo.

An absolute gem. Unique and yummy vegan and vegeterian options, ok prices and right on the beach. It's good to see more vegan options out there without extra costs and minimum salad foods.
