    Part of the Bedford hotel, the Botanica Restaurant is in the bar/breakfast area, the photos online were very artfully taken and we were marginally disappointed that we felt like we were eating in a canteen. That said, the food is really very good, and very reasonable prices - I had the noodles and couldn't finish it, was a mountain of good food. Staff were attentive and good selection of drinks. We had a busy day in london so choose to eat in the hotel rather than go out and about and as said the photos did make it look a bit more cosy than it actually is, I wouldn't necessarily visit Botanica again due to a disappointing ambience, and as it was valentines it would have been nicer of the room felt a bit more like a restaurant rather than a tag on. But, if you are looking for decent food and decent price and handy for the hotel it ticks all those boxes.

    My wife and I were visiting the British Museum, and were looking for a good restaurant nearby, so Botanica Restaurant and Bar was chosen for that reason. Very friendly staff whilst also being polite and discrete, nice ambiance, and really well prepared and presented food at very reasonable cost, so great value. Would go again.

    A great setting for a group dinner. Not too noisy or quiet, and could accommodate a table for 14 without any delays or issues. Thank you for helping make our evening a success!

    We had a leaving event/celebration at the Botanica and they Romy and the team were brilliant. As is normally the case number of attendees changed, people got held up and were late for dinner, but none of this was too much trouble. The service was brilliant and the food was good too.

    This restaurant was lovely. The staff are warm and welcoming. The ambience was relaxed, and the decor was pretty and bright. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend the pan-fried bream. A delicious meal indeed. My partner had the cod and chips. It was crispy and well cooked. As it was my partner's birthday, they even gave him some chocolate brownie on a decorative plate, which was unexpected but lovely.

    The service was amazing and good food at very reasonable prices. We were very happy. Only issue was that Open table allowed us to make a reservation before the kitchen was open. However they agreed to serve us which was very kind
