Medio

Locale molto carino e di bella atmosfera. Bella la presentazione dei piatti. Personale cordiale.
Premetto che ho preso solo il burrito, I plin e la crema catalana. Forse avevo aspettative alte, ma non mi ha entusiasmato.
Ai plin mancava sapore, il burrito aveva troppi condimenti ( una salsa arancione e il formaggio vegetale) che coprivano gli altri ingredienti., la crema catalana era troppo liquida. Avrei utilizzato insaporitori come kombucha o kefir per dare un tocco in più.
Visto l’alto gradimento di quasi tutti, il problema probabilmente è mio, perché mi piace mangiare più semplice.

Vegan Oasis

After a week struggling to be vegan in this part of Italy, I was so happy to have a fresh and tasty meal and glass of wine here. The location is great, tucked on a side street in the city center with outdoor space, inside looked lovely too. The staff was a wee bit aloof but overall great place.

Beauty and taste

Lovely restaurant for a special night, yet very affordable!

The spring roll and soup were lovely. Not the biggest fan of tortellini here, could do with more sauce?! the drinks were lovely too 🍸

Top Notch Vegan Food In Bologna

Botanica Lab is a centrally-located vegan restaurant with a menu that allows you to try something a little bit different should you choose. For the less adventurous, there are also options like burgers and a wrap. The food was fresh and bursting with flavours. The atmosphere was chilled and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would go there again in a heartbeat

Pros: Good food, Atmosphere, Sides and desserts

Dissatisfied

I was really hungry and wanted to like it but the food lacked flavor, the texture was off. I ordered a tomato soup and it was thick as porridge. I also got the spring rolls which lacked vegetables but had a heavy amount of cream. Felt heavy when it’s a dish that should be light and crunchy.

Pros: The place was pretty

Cons: Soup , Service , Spring rolls

Ottimo!

Se siete a Bologna dovete andarci, ma ricordatevi di prenotare perché potreste non trovare tavoli liberi.
Abbiamo assaggiato tre piatti e un dolce, era tutto ottimo!
È stata veramente una cena piacevole e soddisfacente tanto che il mio uomo onnivoro mi ha chiesto di ritornarci.

Pros: Tutto vegano, Dolci

Cons: Alcune sedie dei tavoli all’aperto sono scomode.

Really nice food!

We had the triangles, the burrito, the unfried vegetables and the creme brulée. The first two were really great. We took the vegetable side dish because we thought that the main would not be enough, but we were not that hungry, so it was a bit much. The desert was nice.

Quite good, but could be better

The restaurant itself has a really nice atmosphere and the menu is inventive and something different. The presentation is beautiful and the dishes tasted nice, although it was not spectacular. After all the great reviews, we expected a bit more but it was just standard, to be honest. The dishes itself were not huge so we ordered a side dish as well.

Pros: Varied and inventive, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Tasted a bit boring , Small portion sizes

Proof that vegan food doesn't have to be boring (and is more then fast food)

We went here for lunch and we would definitely go back for dinner next time we're in Bologna.

It's a lovely restaurant located just outside the buzz of the city centre. The outdoor terrace, were we sat, has a lovely vibe. Friendly staff.

Most of all I enjoyed the menu and the food in general. It was difficult to choose what to eat because it all sounded so lovely. And the food was de-li-cious. Made with care. The plates looked beautifull.

I get a bit bored with vegan fast food places but this place shows that you can have an affordable vegan meal that is joyfull and inspiring.

Would recommend!

Good food and place

Unfortunally I was in a hurry and I had to order to take away so my pictures doesn’t do justice to the taste. The restaurant was full with locals for dinner and it was just a Tuesday for I guess it is quite popular. All the dishes looked delicious and well presented. I was amazed by the amount of waiters, I huess the service must be good too. Since I had a need for fingers food, I was recommended to take one of the burritos and it was delicious. It was fast too (for not being a fast food restaurant and being full).

Pros: Food and service, The ambiany. I wish I could have stayed

High quality thoughtfully prepared Vegan Food

This place was super tasty if a bit pricey, but top quality costs...
Beautifully prepared creative main dishes. Unique and memorable desserts to be shared and savoured.
Reservations a must (esp. summer weekends) they were turning people away, fully booked.

Lovely Vegan food

We had the Gnocchetti and Beyond Burger, with Creme Brule for dessert. All very delicious, no complaints about our food! Menu is very varied, but some things seem quite small for how much they cost. Personally, I think what we ordered was filling and better value for money than some other items. Lots of people were also ordering the Avocado in fiore, so I definitely want to try next time we visit!

Pros: Tasty, inventive menu

Cons: Slightly expensive
