Amazing food

We had a fabulous meal at Le Botaniste, great food especially the coconut ceviche. Lovely staff and owner who took time to explain everything and made us a great offer. Highly recommended will definitely visit again :)

Great decor/theme, healthy and tasty food.

Novel concept: bowls of fresh ingredients but with hot toppings (eg chilli, curry, mushroom gravy). Fast. Hearty options too. Tasty. Decor has the theme of an apothecary.

Fun place to visit.

Perhaps just a little pricey for what it is.

Healthy and filling

Been here many times and loved it. Magic miso is good, don’t know if they still do that bowl. Also like the pasta bolo.

Updated from previous review on 2023-01-03

Pros: All vegan and healthy

Cozy spot for quick, healthy bites!

My wife and I popped into La Botaniste on a recent trip to NYC. We enjoyed the quick-service format and the accessible wine and beer selection. The food was unfussy but delicious and satisfying, and the atmosphere was calm and cozy. Definitely worth a stop-in!

Nice part of town. Friendly staff. Cool presentation of food in "kitchen" and nice interior design. Quite large space inside. Next to Little Italy.

Amazing pasta

I had the Bolognese Pasta (V, GF) and it was exquisite. The pasta was very good, and didn’t taste like it would be gluten free. The sauce had chunky tomatoes, vegan meat, and flavors of garlic and herbs.

Pros: So many great vegan options

High-quality nutritious food

I love that the food is delicious and nutritious. It also appears to be unprocessed, which is nice. There are lots of options to choose from and they are clearly labelled. I also love their fresh juices and teas.

Limited menu, but you can make your own combo. Food was delicious and great to be able to eat great plant-based food and drink wine too:)

Pros: Everything is plant based!, Food was very fresh, Restaurant was clean

Le Botaniste

Delicious vegan food and drinks.

I didn't eat a full meal here, but did order drinks and some of the beet hummus. The prosecco I ordered was good and the beet hummus was delicious and flavorful. However, they only give you one little cracker and one little piece of bread with the beet hummus, so you'll have to eat the rest with a spoon, which isn't ideal. This place is not cheap either...and it felt cheap to eat hummus with a spoon.

What was annoying about this place is at least two ladies were basically doing their Instagram shoots all around the restaurant and were posing all around us and throughout the restaurant. This would have been a great, relaxing experience if not for that.

Healthy, tasty plant based food

I think most places that are totally vegan too often try to replicate meat and dairy based foods instead of embracing the great flavor and variety of natural, plant based food. Le Botaniste is great because it does the latter (and very well in my opinion!)

I love it and highly recommend it.

Pros: Totally vegan, Embraces plant based food

My fave vegan spot in Soho

This is on my top five vegan nyc spots! Their food is heaven, super healthy and super delicious. Every time I eat there has been amazing. They also carry unusual beverages like the kale latte, my personal fave.

Pros: Too good to be true , Healthy and flavorful , Never disappoints

Good for a quick bite

Cute little place if you happen to be in the area and are looking for quick but healthy, quality food. I visited the UES location several years back and thought it was nice but pricey. Now they have this half-soup-half-entree-portion deal, which is pretty good value for NYC. Unless you’re alone, avoid the tables in the back as I found them too small and cramped for two people.

Pros: fast service

Cons: tiny tables in the back

Great Chili

If you are in Soho, you should give it a try. I had the chili con carne, it was delicious. Portions a bit small for my taste . The had the chia pudding with berries, very taste as well. Will definitely comeback!

Pros: Tasty food , Really nice atmosphere , Lovely food set up ( see the Pic)

Cons: Potion slightly small

Nice SoHo spot with extensive vegan options

Nice quick spot in SoHo with a cool antique pharmacy vibe. They have an extensive selection of tasty vegan options and also serve wine. In a great neighborhood. They do not have table service so you order at the counter. Nice for a relaxed evening.

Pros: Many vegan options, Serves wine, Lovely neighborhood
