Cool interior! - Edit
Nice place but they didn’t have a few dishes from the menu, maybe we came too late. Ate the ’hummus’ variations, there was not much taste.

Nice - Edit
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 - Edit
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.
Read moreThey 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 - Edit
The decorations are wonderful and the staff was very friendly.
Read moreWe 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

Get the Tibetan mama! - Edit
After eating a lot of fries and bakery food on holiday in Belgium, and drinking lots of delicious cherry beer, we felt we needed some health food! Le botaniste is great - only a few items to choose from but done excellently. Decent prices. The tibetan mama sauce is crazily delicious.

good raw cakes - Edit
We had the Chili sin carne, the Tajine, a mushroom blend with Reishi and a raspberry-passion fruit raw cake. Everything was okay, but we definitely had better Chilis. It was nice though that there were multiple ingredients in the bowl such as chickpeas, quinoa, lentils and of course chili and onions. The raw cake was pretty good. The interior reminded us to a mixture of pharmacy and elegant old time housing.
Read morePros: nice and interesting interior, mainly healthy food

Tasty and wholesome bowls - Edit
We had lunch here today after a long journey from London. It's a great concept - basically you can choose from 5 or 6 bowls based on different countries' cuisines. We had the curry bowl and the chilli bowl. Both delicious and served quickly. The brownies are nice too - more like chocolate puddings in my opinion.

Prachtige plek - Edit
Wat een mooi gebouw, als je binnenkomt ruik je de heerlijke gerechten meteen. Je kunt uit van alles kiezen, pasta, salade, chili sin carne. Alles is erg gezond, daar moet je van houden. De aankleding van het restaurant is erg mooi. Overal is aan gedacht.
Read moreAls voorgerecht hadden we crackers, deze waren taai en erg weinig voor de prijs. Zou ik niet aanraden. Het hoofdgerecht had ik pasta en de soep. Beide zeer smaakvol en de prijs zeker waard.
Pros: Mooi gebouw, Gezellige sfeer, Lekker eten
Cons: Het voorgerecht met droge crackers
