Ottima cena

Ottimo ristorante vegano con opzione molto varia, con differenze stagionali e prodotti di qualità. Una vera cena gourmet vegana ma con sapori che possono accontentare anche l’amico onnivoro più scettico 😘

Pros: Verdure non fritte, davvero ottime , servizio veloce , location deliziosa in pieno centro

Delicious and creative, don‘t miss this one!

Lots of options, nice atmosphere and it tends to be quite packed, so be sure to book in advance.

Very good flavored water and organic coffee too.

Good restaurant

We didn’t have a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in if we only took about an hour. I love the variety and creativity of the dishes (and drinks as well!). Portions are definitely big enough, I didn’t even fully finish mine. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Bologna.

Fabulous

Amazing food and nice atmosphere. We tried the four course set menu and everything was absolutely delicious. Fair prices. When I’m back in Bologna, I’ll definitely return.

Botanica Lab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food. You really can’t miss this place while in Bologna. The Redefine Meat dish was prepared so well and creatively. The baby gnocchi and the ravioli were full of flavor. And the little red tomato wrap appetizer was top notch. Everything was a winner here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tasty lunch made me book a tasting menu dinner

Welcoming, lively plant based restaurants a few steps away from Piazza Maggiore. Plenty of choice, all vegan. All the tables inside and out were taken…..definitely worth booking ahead.

Pros: Welcoming, Busy place , Great choice of freshly prepared plant based meals

Piacevole cena a due passi dal centro di Bologna

Un’ottima esperienza culinaria dove la ricerca incontra il mondo vegetale, abbiamo provato gli gnocchetti lilla con crema di anacardi e la tagliata redefine meat, a cui va un punto di merito per come è stata trattata. Nel locale si respira un’aria accogliente, inoltre il servizio si è dimostrato attento e gentile. Consiglio la prenotazione.

Botanica Lab ❤️

Amazing food in a beautiful restaurant. They offer some North American dishes, but I recommend going Italian with the gnocchi and similar options. They are so worth it! Great service, too.

Great food!

I loved everything I tried! The server was very nice and the food was excellent. The chocolate Pistachio cheese cake was amazing! I highly suggest making a reservation, as there are not many tables and the restaurant was full when I was there.

Pros: Great food, Nice Staff

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
