The service is awesome and they helped me decide with a few samples what to order. The ratatouille is spot on with the pasta and peas. It was flavorful and filled me up. The veggies were fresh and it’s a great spot for a meal. For the entree and salad and tip I spent about $30. Dinner for a 240lb man and I was satisfied. Will be back.

Interesting spot. This vegan restaurant is good tasting and the employees are extremely helpful and will explain any questions you have. The spicy chili bowl was DELICIOUS, would highly recommend it. The lemonade was good. Veggie balls were a good addition also. The hot sauce on the tables was a great add for extra flavor. The 'crackers' for mezze spread were flavorless and gross. Prices were reasonable and not expensive. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and water is available on all the tables. There were flies all over which was annoying but overall i like the concept of this fast casual restaurant and a healthier alternative to non-vegan places

I typically don't review chains, but we had fantastic customer service at this Le Botaniste location, so I wanted to share the appreciation! The space has a nice, modern feel, and there is a decent amount of seating. There is a water bottle on each table for customers who are dining in. Le Botaniste has your typical plant-based menu with the higher prices associated with other health food chains in the city. Kimari recommended the seasonal Mediterranean Salad bowl, and let us sample a few of the components, so I ended up getting that ($15.50) and my friend got the Tibetan Mama ($15.50). Size-wise, my bowl definitely felt like more bang for your buck, and if you eat smaller meals, you could definitely split it in half and feel full. My friend still felt hungry after finishing the Tibetan Mama. Le Botaniste makes veggies tasty, and we enjoy their food! One small note is that the Mediterranean bowl comes with a tumeric sauce. If you're sensitive to that flavor, then request for them to go easy on it, because it can be overpowering. Kimari did an amazing job selling me on the Mediterranean bowl, and really knew the menu inside and out! I appreciated that he approached it by highlighting the ingredients instead of just pushing the fact that it was seasonal. He also let me sample the tumeric sauce before I went for it, to make sure I would be happy with the taste. Then, as we were eating, the manager came out and also checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay! My only issue with service was that it was really hot and we did run out of water, and no one helped us out with that. Otherwise, this was a very pleasant dining experience!

The vegetable tajine was flavorful, fresh, and savory. I was impressed by the quality and attention to detail of this place - I truly felt great after eating the meal. T Also can tell that they have a great team who clearly cares about the end product and mission.

Simply put, Le Botaniste offers a truly delicious, inviting menu for all food lovers, regardless of food preference or background. The flavors are as bold as the presentation is vibrant. The botanical salad in particular was excellent, and while I didn’t personally try the soups or stews, they looked absolutely stunning. As soon as you step inside, you can feel the appreciation for simplistic, responsibly sourced and prepared food. If you are searching for a meal that not only tastes good but makes you feel good, this is undoubtedly the place.
