Great environment with lovely food!

I spend a great evening in O Botanista! While traveling I really felt welcome as I came. The people were extremely nice and helpful, they opened conversation immediately and showed a lot of positive interest. I got genuine suggestions for food and drinks. And I ended up with this amazing meal.
The inside of the restaurant is beautiful aswel, I really loved the plant-theme all over the place (check the ceilings of the bathroom 😉).
Next to leaving the place well fed, I left with a lot of positive vibes!

Pros: Nice variety of great plant-based food, Genuine and lovely people, Loved the plant-based vibe!

Cool place, great location

Very nice restaurant with great and elaborate food! Entries and desserts were very good. A bit expensive. Staff was nice. It was a bit full (dinner), we had to stay outside and it was a bit cold, but the staff offered some blankets.

A vast menu full of amazing food

Updating my previous review to confirm that after countless visits, O Botanista remains amazing and is now one of my favourite vegan spots in Lisbon

--

I've been to O Botanista twice and so far everything I've tried was amazing. The food there is delicious, the service is nice and the decor is beautiful. All in all, it's a great restaurant, almost as good as Ao26.

5 stars despite slow service

The food was really really good and high quality. However the service was unfortunately a bit slow. With that being said I 100% recommend the restaurant.

Fancy dining

The place is well decorated and fancy, perfect to bring a date if you have one. All the food I tried was very well cooked, all the flavors are interesting and play nicely together. Will come again if I can.

Pros: Fancy place, Very nice food

Nice experience

Were there for lunch. Had a bowl, a burger and a cake. The food was pretty good. Tough the burger a little small for my boyfriend. Really nice staff.

Between normal and fine dining

So many savors and colors. You have to give it a try if you like to discover among different tastes. The fondue rules! We had to go back for more cheese as it is amazing.

Pros: Lots of different option, not easy to choose

Cons: If you look for fast dinner, it is not your place.

Good experience

Good food. Relaxed pleasant atmosphere with careful attention to clients. We all felt that our plates had been cooked for us in particular and enjoyed our meals (even our reluctant "don't like veggies" child). Price was reasonable. We are looking forward to going back.

Pros: Great food!

Great food but noisy place & slow service

The food is very tasty and the presentation of the dishes is lovely. It's not cheap, but not too expensive considering the quality of the food. Their selection of cakes is just amazing!
On a less positive note, I found the place quite noisy (it was almost full when I ate there) and the service was quite slow and not particularly friendly.

The best place in Lisbon!

You should try this and take more dishes. The atmosphere is really cool, I loved the furniture and the wall with only windows make the location bright.
We tried the cashew and the avocado bruschetta that was really good, a plate with mushed sweet potato and the desserts... You have a whole shop window with gorgeous cakes with all the flavours, I think they were more than ten, so go to see them before choosing!
You should definitely try this place!
It's located near the Time Out Market, that is nice to visit.
The dishes are so well presented!

Pros: The best in Lisbon, Good atmosphere , Good food and cakes choice

Cons: It's not in the center, It's not cheap, but not too expensive

MAGIC

If I could give this place a higher rating I would. The service was wonderful and the options were expansive. I got the fancy tagliatelle, which quite literally rocked my world - I don’t know how they get it to taste that good, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We also got the pumpkin bruschetta, and the hazelnut ice cream blondie, both of which were to die for. My sister is also not vegan and loved every bite - if you’re in the city it’s a must-try.

Pros: Affordable, Non-vegans love it, Everything I had was fresh and delicious

Trying too hard

The dishes are small but cheap, the presentation is beautiful and the staff are professional and nice!
But the bottom line is that nothing there was good, just OK, i had the feeling that they are trying too hard to make the food healthy and pretty that they forgot to make it taste good too.
How can a"Snickers waffle" with peanut, coconut and chocolate be more salty then sweet?
Something is messed up.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Small portions, Not very good

Amazing and healthy food in wonderful atmosphere

The restaurant is tastefully decorated with nice wallpaper and many plants hanging from the ceiling - it perfectly suits the name of the restaurant. The food is great - you should try the tofu bruschetta starter and not leave without having some cakes. Staff could be a bit more friendly.

Dish presentation is perfect.

Beautiful place. Desserts were very delicious.
But it was full so we needed to wait a bit for free table.
