De Botanie

I recently visited De Botanie in Delft for a business lunch with a colleague and a client. The place is absolutely charming, beautifully decorated, cozy, and spacious. There's even a lovely indoor garden. Located right in the heart of Delft, the building has that classic Dutch charm. The service was friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. We ordered cappuccinos, homemade focaccia with barbacoa (a delicious Mexican-style meat), and poached eggs with mushrooms. The portions were moderate, just right, and everything tasted delicious. For dessert, we had banana bread and a bonbon, both equally delightful. The total bill was €70, which we found reasonable for the quality and ambiance. Our client mentioned that dinner here is just as fantastic, so I’ll definitely be returning to try it for dinner. Highly recommended!

We have been here a couple of times and generally have been happy with the dishes. Quality is good and food sharing concept is a great idea.

A welcome find on a wet day when so many other places were closed. Warm setting, friendly staff, and tasty food. I had the tea-cured salmon with creme fraiche on sourdough.

This was a fantastic spot with delicious food. We sat in a charming garden, an interior courtyard adorned with plants climbing the walls which created a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent, especially the focaccia topped with either meat or eggplant and a generous portion of pork belly. It was definitely hearty enough to justify the price. The focaccia was a bit salty for my taste, though I’ve heard that’s typical. The drinks were great too. I’d definitely come back.

Enjoy delicious snacks and cocktails in a lovely setting. They have a beautiful garden in the back, complete with several tables and seats, perfect for soaking up the sun days!

My favorite place for brunch in Delft. I love meat and this place suits all my cravings. I like especially the pork hamburger with fried eggs in the middle. The taste is so good and I’ve also taken my friends here. A funny fact is none of my friend talks when we eat because the food is so delicious that we have no spare seconds to talk, haha. I must have ordered that for five times already in the past three months. I have tried the crab hamburger is also nice, for the drinks I do recommend iced coconut milk (coffee)? It is icy and has a very unique flavor that I just love that ! Don’t know if I remember that correctly…

Super nice place with a great atmosphere, delicious food and good service! I can recommend it for dates and also bigger groups:) The concept of this restaurant is to order a couple smaller dishes that are then shared between people! It's nice to try some different foods, but also not on the cheap side. However, for the quality of food I do feel like I got my moneys' worth:)

On sunny spring and summer days, the garden at De Botanie is one of our favorite places in Delft to enjoy a coffee! 🌿☕️ The trees, flowers, and open-air vibe make it such a pleasant spot 😌 One thing I really appreciate: when you order an iced coffee, they actually make it the right way — not just hot coffee poured over ice (which is surprisingly common in the Netherlands 🫠) The staff is always friendly and helpful. We haven’t tried the food yet, but the restaurant area looks really inviting too.
