So unglaublich lecker

Ich bin durch Zufall hier vorbei gekommen und falls Ihr in Gent seid dann schaut aufjedenfall vorbei. Das Le Botaniste ist so ein wunderschönes und gemütliches Restaurant , alle waren so unglaublich nett. Ich habe das Tagesessen bestellt ein Curry mit Hummus und Kürbis und es war so unglaublich lecker.

Pros: So lecker und komplett vegan, Süßes und gemütliches Restaurant, So unglaublich freundlicher Service

Hallo Sasuu!

Ich freue mich sehr, dass du zufällig bei Le Botaniste vorbeigekommen bist und unser Curry mit Hummus und Kürbis so genossen hast - es ist wunderbar zu hören, dass du nicht nur das 100% pflanzliche Essen, sondern auch die gemütliche Atmosphäre und die Freundlichkeit unserer Pioniere schätzen konntest. Ich hoffe, wir dürfen dich bald wieder bei uns begrüßen, um dir weitere köstliche pflanzliche Gerichte aus unserer zertifiziert biologischen Küche zu servieren.

healthy selection

There are many healthy dishes to choose from. We chose 2 bowls and a soup. I like the option of choosing a smaller bowl and getting a soup with it. Unfortunately, the soup was a bit too watery and tasteless. The ingredients in the bowls were tasty, but unfortunately also a bit flavourless. We really liked the decor and atmosphere. There was no place to return plates, so everyone left their plates on the bar (looked a bit messy).

Heerlijk en gezond

Mooie ambiance, mooi, lekker en gezond eten, beetje jammer van het afhaalbuffet en dat je het koude voorgerecht en warme hoofdgerecht dan tegelijk meekrijgt.

Pros: Lekker eten, Biologisch, gezond eten, Mooi pandje

Cons: Hoofdgerecht koelde af terwijl ik m'n voorgerecht , Afhaalbuffet, Erg snel klaar en weer buiten

Really good food but expensive and impatient service

Nice atmosphere and designed place. Food is very good but a bit expensive. The service is without patience, as they are doing you a favour (which I guess they do... there are no waiters and it's self service, but with the prices of a restaurants. No breakfast options

Pros: The place , The food, The desserts

Cons: The service, The price, No breakfast or sandwiches

Nice

Myself & my partner felt a bit disappointed with our meal. We both had the pasta bolo which was nice but was a bit lacking (was also quite watery). We only tried the one meal so obviously can’t speak for the rest of the menu & we might have enjoyed something else a lot more. The staff were very nice but it took a long time for us to place our order & get the food (it was also a hot day & was boiling inside).

Hey mollyhyland96, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience at Le Botaniste in Gent. We're sorry to hear that your pasta bolo didn't meet your expectations and that the service was slower than usual; we'll definitely look into improving both the dish and our efficiency, especially during busy, hot days.

Very nice place

The location is pretty cozy and cute and I don't mind the concept of grabbing the food at the counter and returning the dishes when finished.

They have a display with the fresh ingredients they use for their bowls and samples of the desserts and some other foods like the bolo pasta.

Staff was very nice and helpful and the food was great.
I grabbed a menu with a salad bowl and the soup of the day, which was gazpacho (perfect for the hot weather) and had the iced tea as a drink.
The food was good and the ice tea wasn't too sweet, which I liked a lot.
I also had a pecan cookie to go but I forgot to take a picture. Absolutely delicious though!

Pros: All vegan and organic, good display of foods, nice and friendly staff

Too watery food

The decorations are wonderful and the staff was very friendly.
We had the vegetable tajine and the pasta bolo. They tasted okay but there was too much water in the bowl, so it was like soup.
By ordering water one gets free refills.
It is one of the few places that are open on Sunday/Monday
