Lekker! - Edit
Voor de lunch hier heel fijn een warme maaltijd kunnen eten. De humus vinden we wat minder lekker maar misschien is dat omdat we andere humus gewend zijn. De maaltijden waren erg lekker. Het restaurant zelf heeft een hele mooie vormgeving.

Best indulgent and healthy food in Ghent - Edit
Indulgent cosy food that tastes and feel good. From making your own bowl to going for one of the specials, you won't be disappointed.
Read moreThe menu is fully vegan and almost fully gluten free. I went for the Botanique menu, composed of a soup of the day (tomato-paprika) and one half bowl (the fall salad with vegan tuna). They also offer a lot of sides and desserts.
It was so tasty that I came back a second time during my stay to try their Tajine bowl.
Place is also very cosy and staff very friendly. I fully recommend.
Pros: Healthy food, Friendly staff, Original dishes

Tasty and fresh - Edit
We had a delicious curry and a tajine plus lots of other bits like turmeric onion and green pea hummus. All tasted very fresh and was seasoned very well. Portion sizes were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. We left feeling full and satisfied.

Always worth a visit - Edit
I knew the NY branch of Le Botaniste, so I was very curious to try the Bruges one and I was not disappointed. We went there for dinner, and we sat outside because of the heat, although the interior space looks very nice. We got the sushi rolls and some veggie balls (which were both delicious, although the dips were a bit too salty) and a tagine as main course, that on the contrary was a bit bland. I love the concept and the freshness of the (soul) food they serve, but sometimes it’s a bit of a “hit and miss” with the amount of spices they use.
Read morePros: Fresh soul food, Beautiful decor
Cons: Pricey, Sometimes there is too much or too little salt

High quality- amazing flavor! - Edit
We got 4 bowls here and they were all incredible. Easily the best bowl I’ve ever had from a restaurant. Very generous portions, fresh, organic ingredients, and well-flavored dips and sauces. I got the build-your-own bowl. Grateful for more affordable pricing, too. Highly recommend!

Good food - no prescription needed - Edit
Loved the interior, turning an old pharmacy into a restaurant and using it’s vibe in the style and servings.
Read moreGreat vegan food! For the adventurous: you can choose your own combination dish, for the not so adventurous: they have hot or cold different dishes with amazing taste combinations. For the ones who prefers classics: they serve a pasta bolognaise 😄
Sort of self service: take your food to your table and pay in advance, just like in a real pharmacy ☺️
Pros: Great flavour combinations, Not your ordinary dish, Choose your own or add some extra’s
Cons: No service at the table (if you prefer this)

Good food, organic, tasty, with nice staff, but not particularly cheap - Edit
We tried three different mains with some sides, plus some really nice raw cakes. Mains (tajine, chili, and bolognese) were all tasty, but not spicy, despite the staff warning us the first two would be... 😀 Reasonable portions. Raw cakes were raspberry and passion, and hazelnut and chocolate - the former tangier, the latter heavier. With kombuchas all round, that came to around €75...
