The Botanist at Liverpool's Albert Dock is a stunning space. The restaurant sits right on the waterfront, so you get fantastic views, and the inside is bright and airy, with lots of natural light and plants – it really lives up to its name! Looking through the photos, I noticed the decor is stylish but relaxed, perfect for a casual meal.

Their menu is Caribbean-inspired, offering a good range of dishes. They have plenty of options for vegetarians, and the seafood dishes looked amazing; one photo shows a perfectly plated jerk salmon that made my mouth water. I'd definitely recommend trying their cocktails too – they have a creative menu with interesting flavor combinations.

What makes The Botanist special is its location and the atmosphere. It's perfect for a celebratory dinner with friends or a romantic evening out, offering a lovely upscale feel without feeling stuffy. It's a great option if you want something a little different to the usual Liverpool dining scene, a beautiful place to enjoy a delicious meal with a view.
