Le Botaniste

We stopped in after a nearby evening event. They were only 30 minutes from closing, but they had no shortage of all of the menu items. We chose the botanical therapy, 3 half-portion bowls to share. The bowls were prepared to order and each one was packed with flavor. Sometimes vegetarian meals are served with too much pasta or rice. This was not the case. The bowls were full of vegetables and sauces. Very tasty! The decor looks like an old apothecary or pharmacy. Simple, clean, and welcoming. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

From the lay-out of its website to the layout of its Lexington Ave. restaurant interior, Le Botaniste creates warm and inviting digital and real-life environments that reflect its emphasis on interconnected sustainability.

I got the spicy chili sin carne (was good, appropriate and not too spicy), with free range tofu, extra protein, with superseed avocado; red beet detox, healthy; jasmine green tea for a little pep, chocolate raw cake for dessert, oh so nice!

La Botaniste offers delicious, well-prepared food in a beautifully decorated space. Even as someone who isn’t vegan, I really enjoyed the flavors. While the atmosphere and food were great, the staff could have been a bit more welcoming. Overall, a tasty and visually pleasing spot.

I had a terrific time, at this lovely spot; it was my first visit there, and I'd definitely return. The food was delicious. And even though it was all of the healthy things (check the boxes), it tasted so delicious and left me feeling full (while also light). It seems that the illusion of not being full post super healthy fare is just that -- an illusion. Tbh, I eat heartily, and I still couldn't finish this meal in one sitting. Plus, it was affordable -- sorry to sound so granular, but their satisfying meals are a great value proposition. : ) So, both my tummy and wallet left happy. The young people who served me there were attentive and sweet, and gave me a warm welcome. Last but not least, the physical environment was nearly as nourishing as the food itself; it's an aesthetically beaut
