– This is almost sitting in a shed and having a good time and a lovely meal, one of my friends said when we visited The Botanist the last time.

I have visited this restaurant a few times during my visits to Manchester. I have actually lived in Manchester for a short time, before this restaurant opened. The interior is pretty special in a exaggerated shabby chic style with different plates, the gardening tools at the walls and everything is a bit worn.

The place is big and centrally located in the city centre of Manchester, and the only thing which can be a bit annoying is all the noise when people are having a good time.

– Lovely food. Exciting flavors, and presented in a delicious way, one of my friends says while trying to find a way to eat the hanging kebab.

The food is above average, compared to a lot of British restaurants. Not fantastic, but rock solid. You also get a lot of food for an ok price. All of us only had a main course each. They have lovely drinks as well! Please try their signature dring "The Botanist".

My name is Lars Idar Waage, a Norwegian photographer, storyteller, and traveler based on the west coast of Norway. For more than 25 years, I have worked with photography — most of them within media and documentary storytelling. Through Norwegian Traveller, I share stories from the road, visual essays, cultural reflections, and encounters with people and places that often exist outside the typical tourist path. Over the last decade, much of my work has focused on documenting Norwegian-American communities in the American Midwest, exploring themes of identity, migration, heritage, faith, and belonging. This long-term project has taken me from small prairie towns in Illinois and Minnesota to exhibitions in Norway and the United States. I am drawn to authentic places, quiet moments, forgotten stories, and the people who keep traditions alive. Whether traveling through rural America, coastal Norway, or somewhere in between, my goal is always the same: to tell honest human stories through words and photography. Norwegian Traveller is both a travel journal and a visual storytelling project — a place where documentary photography meets personal reflection. Welcome along for the journey.
