The bar was nice and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The drinks, however, were not particularly good. Since we have experience in the restaurant and bar sector, we can say that the cocktail mixes were not very well balanced. Nevertheless, it was okay.

We had an incredible experience at Botanica, all the apps and main courses we had were amazing. Definitely recommend ordering one of everything and eating it family style. Will be back soon. Everything this family does is 1st class all the way!

I would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but the food quality is quite mediocre for the price. I tried a few dishes and they were all very basic. The risotto seemed like microwaved rice and peas and the filet very bland. The soup was also bland. The best dish was the black shrimp pasta. The service is fine and the atmosphere is excellent. Unfortunately the food ruins what could have been great.

A green oasis that provides a relaxed atmosphere for some delicious dinner accompanied by some great drinks and Bolivian vine. Enjoy a great time with a show kitchen and friendly staff looking after you. Choice of food takes you on a journey far beyond pizza and pasta. Enjoy! Recommended.

The location of Botánica and the mood are something special, the staff is really nice. The food itself was 8/10. Since I love this one of my 3 top favorite places to experience that delightful pasta. Definitely the look and appearance makes this place popular and Instagram friendly. I will be glad to come back..

Very underated location; if you blink you will miss it. I walked in for dinner and had a great meal. Ambiance was nice. Seemed to be the it place in the area. Food was on point, drinks were good and the price wasn’t bad at all. Definitely worth checking out whether you are a solo traveler like me or with a group.

As an American visiting Santa Cruz for the first time, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Botanica, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the charming ambiance and the lush greenery that perfectly complements the restaurant’s name.
The menu at Botanica is a delightful fusion of local Bolivian flavors and international cuisine, offering something for everyone. I started with the quinoa salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. For my main course, I opted for the grilled Amazonian fish, which was cooked to perfection and accompanied by a delightful mix of local vegetables. The presentation was impeccable, and each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and creativity.
What truly set Botanica apart was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was perfect, making excellent wine recommendations and providing insights into the local ingredients and dishes.
To top it all off, the dessert was a masterpiece. The chocolate soufflé with passion fruit sauce was a divine combination that left me wanting more. The restaurant also offers a fantastic selection of cocktails, and I highly recommend trying their signature drinks.
Overall, Botanica exceeded all my expectations. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Santa Cruz, whether you’re a local or just passing through. I left with a full stomach and a heart full of joy, eager to return on my next trip to Bolivia. Five stars all the way!
