Botanist fills part of the Fairmont Pacific Rim with a dining room, a cocktail bar and lab, a garden and a TASCHEN library, and the restaurant says botany inspires every one of them. Executive Chef Amanda Healey builds her menus around sustainably sourced seafood and produce from small local growers. Michelin's inspector picks out the hand-cut tagliatelle and a lemon syrup cake with Meyer lemon curd and bay leaf ice cream.
On a cruise day the City Set lunch gives you two courses for $49 between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm on any weekday apart from holidays. Dinner starts at 5 pm daily and ends at 9:30 pm. The tasting menu costs $180 a person, and the whole table has to order it. Weekend brunch fills Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 am to 2 pm.
