It’s exactly what you would expect: okay food in a lovely venue. We did the tourist this and got the Butter Chicken Poutine which was delicious but also not exactly mind blowing.

The Blue Poppy Restaurant is located inside The Butchart Gardens, offering a lovely botanical garden setting. It features unbelievable curry, tasty seafood chowder, and a hidden gem burger and Caesar salad combo. Recent guests also praise the Butter Chicken Poutine, the seafood pasta loaded with prawns and scallops, and the smashed Beef Patty with aged cheese fries. The inside looks like a fancy restaurant with much natural light, making it feel like eating in a greenhouse filled with plant life. The atmosphere is light-filled and stunning, and the interior is well-kept, with large picture windows overlooking the gardens. Customers can enjoy local craft beers on tap and a self-service water station. The restaurant operates cafeteria style, where guests grab premade salads and desserts before ordering their entrees at the front. After ordering, they receive a number, and servers bring the food to the table quickly and in an organized way. The staff are friendly, professional, and hospitable. The menu includes dishes like the noodles with lemongrass and ginger marinated beef, creamy peanut sauce, and pickled veggies, which is a satisfying portion at a reasonable price. They also offer a vegan option with grilled portobello. The restaurant provides gluten-free options and a kids menu. Customers appreciate the convenience of the location, the friendly service, and the enjoyable food. The ambiance and landscape create a magical atmosphere, enhanced by helpful staff and clean surroundings. The quality of the food and service is often praised, with special treats like gluten-free lemon cheesecake and afternoon tea with pastries and sandwiches. While prices are high, the tasty meals, beautiful setting, and attentive service make it a good dining choice for visitors exploring the gardens.
