Reviews for Le Botaniste in New York, NY
We are not vegan by any means but the restaurant smelled good and looked inviting so we decided to try. The curry bowl was... tasty. The coffee on the other hand did not taste good. Read more
????Nice place with a great vibe to eat homemade food, vegetarian or vegan. ???? We had the bowl with rice, curry sauce, kimchi... and vegetables. It was really good. They also serve other bowls, soups and sandwiches. ????If you order bottled water they serveyou filtered water and they charge you for it. ???? ???? Service is good. Prices are ok. Read more
Solid 3 maybe 3.5. This place builds itself as a vegetarian food and wine bar 'pharmacy' with everyone dressed as a pharmacist... to heal you with food and wine (cute <3 ) The food that I had was good for raw/vegetarian, ambiance was nice, no tableservice--it is cafeteria style which isn't a big deal IMO if you don't mind the tiny tables. Two problems: 1) no one on staffcould tell me *anything* about the wines ???? which was disappointing. I didn't expect a sommelier but since the selection waslimited I would think perhaps a few facts about the wine would be helpful. Note to management: Please acquaint the staff withparing ideas and some characteristics of the "therapy" of these wines. Since they aren't the usual fare knowing more about themwould help made a decision (and also give you the opportunity to upsell ;) ) The other issue was the availability of combo dealwith a glass of wine and a bowl dinner at a discount/ The staff wasn't familiar with the specifics of the discount ($24 for abowl and glass of wine) and we weren't aware of the discount until we're checking out. We didn't want them to waste the foodthat we already ordered so... we paid full price. Note to Management: Please post something in plain view and train the staff tooffer the discount. It makes people happy (therapy) and happy customers = repeat customers Read more
First things first, I arrived on a Friday at around 6pm. I walked in looked at the menu, I was greeted by everybody behind the... counter. The Young women asked if I had been before and if there?s anything she can assist or explain via the menu to let herknow. The food was amazing I honestly forget the name, I tried about three different bowls and they all where so good.l, flavorfull and presentation was beautiful. I?d Recommend Read more
Been a couple times so far and each time there is something delicious to try. I?m not vegan, I typically steer away from all... vegan restaurants?but I keep coming back! Staff are always friendly. I feel weird just leaving my tray on the tables (vsdumping food in the trash and leaving tray and dishes somewhere inside) but they always tell me to just go, so *shrug* Ido. Worth trying if you are in the area. Very filling and not super heavy which is nice! Read more
A fast food heaven, all vegan and gluten-free. I went to meet a friend over lunch and loved the ambience, fast and friendly... service, and food. Couldn?t pick just one thing so I went for the ?3 half bowls? options, and I enjoyed everything. Not the bestever food I?ve ever eaten- dream about it at night etc - and also on the expensive side - but I?ll go back without a doubt. Read more
I really love this restaurant for the healthy options that they have. The portions are good and the food is filling. I usually... get the rice, coconut curry, steamed greens, tofu, and jakuna. They have a variety of options for you to build your own bowl. Ialso love that they use ingredients I normally wouldn't eat and make them all interesting. Read more
One this place is a gem. I wish they would franchise. It?s a fast casual experience with a nice atmosphere, ready made food. ... But with an attention to what would taste well as part of the season with considerations for dishes that improve with slowcooking and constant heat (staying ready to serve). Nothing but good things to say about this place. Read more
