Come 6pm, The Botanist’s bar is regularly rammed with braying Chelsea-ites joshing with each other, but once past the sliding glass partition, noise levels return to normal. With its elegant cream-leather tones, dark-wood furnishings & feature wall of 18th-century botanical drawings, it’s easy to see how this smart venue effortlessly guides the Sloane set from breakfast through to dinner. Menus change regularly & flavours are zesty: sea bream with monk’s beard & crab croquettes is like a shot of ozone, while lamb rump with turnip fondant & flavourful jus is lifted by delicious crispy fat. To finish, a wonderful tarte Tatin for two may require some belt loosening. On the downside, the kitchen can struggle when the pressure is on, & wine drinkers might wish for a broader by-the-glass selection on the massive list.
