Fairmont Pacific Rim
Botanist Restaurant to Open its
Doors in Vancouver, BC
Fairmont Pacific Rim
Botanist, Vancouver’s highly anticipated new
restaurant inside Fairmont Pacific Rim, officially
opened on Monday, April 24, 2017, beginning with
breakfast service.
The restaurant will present a collection of four diverse
spaces -a dining room, cocktail bar and lab, garden,
and a champagne lounge.
Executive Chef Hector Laguna’s menu depicts the
culinary abundance of the region - produce rooted
from the soil of the northwest, sustainably sourced
seafood; and organic agricultural methods from
backyard suppliers. Signature items include root
vegetables, oven-roasted halibut with spring vegetables
and crab emulsion, and herb crusted lamb rack with
green garlic panisse, fava and shallots. The menu is
accompanied by wine director Jill Spoor’s boutique
terroir-driven wine program that supports sustainable,
organic and biodynamic farming and winemaking
practices.
Designed by award-winning Ste. Marie Design with
brand and identity developed by Glasfurd & Walker,
the collection of venues begins with the Champagne
Lounge. Overlooking The Lobby Lounge on the
second floor, it’s surrounded by glass and planters filled
with greenery indigenous to British Columbia. The
Champagne Lounge is open daily from 4:00pm and
offers global sparkling wines and exclusive and rare
offerings from both Champagne and internationally,
complemented by a menu of small plates including
oysters, caviar, seasonal crudités, and local artisanal
cheese platters.

Italian Terrazzo and dramatic curved glass,
