Hello, adventurous foodies! 🌟 It’s your buddy from BubblyLiving, and today I’m excited to share my delightful breakfast experience at the Botanist, nestled in the luxurious Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver. If you’re a lover of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and elegantly crafted dishes, then this spot should be on your must-visit list. Let’s dive into my scrumptious morning at this exquisite restaurant!
A Warm Welcome
Stepping into Botanist felt like entering a serene, botanical wonderland. The ambiance is beautifully curated, with lush greenery and stylish decor creating a soothing yet vibrant atmosphere. The friendly staff welcomed us with warm smiles and promptly seated us at a cozy table with a lovely view.
Deliciously Fresh and Flavorful
For breakfast, we decided to indulge in the Smashed Avocado Toast and the Pac Rim Breakfast with scrambled eggs. Let me tell you, every bite was a celebration of flavors and freshness!
Smashed Avocado Toast
Served on grilled sourdough bread, this dish was a delightful start to my morning. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy, complemented by the savory notes of parmesan cheese and the crisp, refreshing microgreens. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making it a truly satisfying and nutritious choice.
Pac Rim Breakfast
This hearty breakfast platter was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The free-range scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection—fluffy and flavorful. Accompanied by smoked bacon, pork sausage, and crispy potatoes, this dish offered a delightful variety of tastes and textures. The artisanal toast on the side, freshly baked and perfectly toasted, was the ideal vessel for savoring every last bit of the delicious eggs and sausages.
A Sip of Perfection
To accompany my meal, I opted for a classic cappuccino. The rich, velvety espresso, topped with perfectly frothed milk, was the perfect pick-me-up. For those who prefer a refreshing start, the Antioxidant Green Juice is a vibrant and invigorating choice.
