Nice clean quiet atmosphere with enough meal options to satisfy most customers. Excellent desserts and drinks. My favorite is the Moroccan stew.

Very tasty healthy food - Edit
We had kombuchas and an Americano to drink. As a main, we had the Mediterranean Pasta and the Tibetan Mama. For dessert, we had the Omega 3 Brownie and the Chocolate Pecan Cookie. Everything was really good, especially the Tibetan Mama.

Vegan quick option that satisfies! - Edit
I went here twice for to-go meals. Hearty, but doesn't weigh you down. Super quick service. I recommend the chili and the summer noodle salad.

Fresh and delicious - Edit
This was the 2nd location we tried while visiting NY. It is larger and busier than the one near Penn Station. It was just as good and the people were just as nice. I really liked this chain.

I go for the brownie - Edit
* Salad base with 4 add-ons: carrots, white bean salad and tofu good but green pea chumus is sweet and not in a good way. Aioli dressing good.
Read more* Brownie is moist and delicious even without cream (I was trying to watch my calories)
*Not cheap but good: total for a big salad, tea, and a brownie was about $30

Hello Suzagord!
Read moreI'm delighted you enjoyed our moist brownie and most of your salad selections at Le Botaniste, and I appreciate your honest feedback about the green pea chumus which I'll share with our kitchen team to consider adjusting the sweetness level. Thank you for visiting us and for recognizing the quality of our 100% plant-based, organic offerings, even if the price point reflects our commitment to premium ingredients.

They have pre made things that can be made into a bowl. The concept is simple but I would say nicely executed, I find the bases well made and delicious. Recommend!

Plenty of seating, food is a little slow. The chili is too spicy but I loved the omega brownie. Worth a stop for a quick-ish lunch

Great concept - Edit
I really liked the layout and the style of food. We came for brunch and left very happy and satisfied. The whole food, plant based meals from my dreams! My one issue was that the food was warm, but not hot. Some items were hot while others came out of the fridge and together, the plate ended up just warm. Aside from that, I felt the service was nice and the dishes were beautifully rainbow. #Veganuary

Homemade Food - Edit
When you walk in, make sure you go up to where the food is. You will see six Dutch ovens all percolating with hot stews and food. We ordered the chili con carne both the spicy version and the non-spicy version and both tasted homemade. Extremely delicious. Service was superb as well.  #Veganuary
