As a Meat-eater coming here for the first time to try Vegan foods, I highly recommend the Tibetan Mama Bowl for those who want to start eating Vegan or at least test the waters. Compliments to the Chef!
Finding a plant-based diet restaurant where the food is delicious can be tough. Le Botaniste was exactly what I ordered and the food was beyond my expectations. Great wine selection of you are a wine drinker. Beautiful atmosphere and great dining
Now... Im not vegan, but this is definitely something to try out if you want to try some guilt free food that tastes good. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. They have different Soup of the days (tomato, zucchini, broccoli, butternut squash, black bean, and carrot)... Ive tried all of them, and honestly I love all of them.. (tomato, black bean and broccoli are my favs though... Shhhh, dont tell the other veggies soups!) The Tibetan Mama is still my fav, hands down! I would highly recommend their Full Therapy ( 3 half portion prescription bowls, so that you get to try a little bit of everything), and do try some of their organic wine ($24 any bowl and a glass all inclusive) after 5pm! Now, if you are feeling adventurous, and know exactly what you want, they also have the Do it yourself option where you can create your own bowl. They have 4 locations around the city, they also have delivery apps or pick up options. The Pasta Bolo and Chili Sin Carne are also highly recommended for those wanting something more traditional. Of all locations, I must say that Lexington Ave is my personal favorite. Its more cozy and intimate. The staff are super friendly and its clean! They dont do reservations, but this cafeteria styled restaurant is a must see! Also be sure to try out their Wicked Drinks (Dark and stormy my fav), or their desert options (omega 3 brownie and chocolate chia mud are my personal favs!). You wont regret it!
Felt like they tried too hard with spices to make up for it being vegan. I didnt feel like the flavors meshed well in the miso. My friends enjoyed their dishes, though.
Wow wow wow! Been looking at this spot everyday for the past 4 months and wondering about it. Perhaps the cleanest amd healthiest restaurant in Murray hill. Beautifully decorated & super friendly and helpful staff. Everything, absolutely everything looks, smells & so far tastes delicious! Cannot wait to be back & try the rests of the meals and amazing desserts. Vegan heaven, never tasted better!
Really good coffee and chocolate brownie. Staff really helpful and friendly.
Great spot for healthy food in the Midtown East area. My favorite is the Tibetan Mama bowl. It’s not cheap, but you get only good quality ingredients and a nice place to sit down and enjoy your food.
Such a great place!As we were wondering about the menu, a team member approached us and happily answer our questions and offered samples of her suggestions; Good price for an organic plant based meal, everything was delicious!
I ordered on the phone and picked up. Anderson took my order and was there to greet me upon my arrival. The space is lovely, airy and graceful. Anderson and his colleague were friendly and helpful. I had a Visa gift card that was giving us some trouble. Anderson was so patient, and finally was able to make it work. The food was delicious. I had the chili and my son had the Tibetan Mama bowl. We split the Botanical Salad. Everything tasted so good!! The chili tasted like beef chili. The salad was fresh with lots of veggies, and the saffron aioli dressing had just the right amount of bite. If you want clean, healthy delicious tasting vegan food, try this place out. You and your tummy will be happy you did.
Amazing curry! The spring roll and veggie balls with hummus was delicious!
Excellent for vegans and great for non vegans too. Peaceful vibe and lovely staffs!
Outstanding vegetarian hot and cold grain bowls. Extremely fresh. Takes a little time to understand the menu but totally worth it. Helpful staff. Very clean.
Delicious food!! So many good choices, they helpt me choosing.. lol. Highly recommended! Ingaf the Tibetan Mama Bowl. And the Omega 3 brownie as an dessert. So yummy! Nice and helpful staff too!!
Great tasting organic food. Nice selection & portions. Friendly, very helpful staff. The restaurant is not large & they do not rush you to accommodate others. I will return here often.
Very tasty food and super nice staff. 10/10
Just love this place. Ive ordered for work and also have tried their wine. Just delicious. Their food and service is impeccable. A quaint establishment with friendly people, delicious gluten free food and natural/sulfite-free wine. What could be better?
This one is truly excellent. Gourmet. Vegan.Try it out, you will not be disappointed.
I do not like the food. I’ve been here twice. Had to find a bathroom fast after both meals.
Great food and very friendly staff. Enjoyed the decor too. Would recommend an early lunch since it gets very busy after 12.
Food is soooo tasty, staff is very attentive
Sorry not impressed again. The settings are pleasant and clean; I had to sit outside, there were fruit flies. The staff was strange but friendly. I ordered the chilli sin carne. Brown rice, quinoa, some veggies, chilli and vegan sour cream. The only issue, you dont have to be from New Mexico to know it had nothing to do with chilli. It was beans in tomato sauce. Kinda bummed out.
Amazing, fantastic, delicious! Wow how many words do you need? Tried this food blindly and was blown away by the tastes and spices. Also the wine selection pairs very nicely with all the food options. Must try!
Beautiful interior decor, lovely place to sit for lunch. Manager politely describes the menu when you step up to order. All items look fresh and vibrant. Food plated for each order quickly but with attention. Well priced for vegan food in the neighborhood! Recommend the special soup and half bowl.
Le Botaniste is an absolute gem. The food is fantastic, the staff is incredible and friendly (Wanderson and Alexa are amazing), and its a great value as the food is nearly 100% organic.Our household favorites are the Tibetan Mama, the Botanical Salad and the Vegetable Tajine.I really cant speak highly enough about this place.
Stumbled across this gem whilst having an evening stroll after work. Great ambience, creative menu and the food was epic. Try this place out. You wont regret it.
Incredible! First full day trip back to my office in Manhattan and I searched for vegan options that were open near my office and found this place. Had the most delicious and healthy meal. Highly recommend for vegans and anyone who appreciates tasty food. Beautiful space too! Can’t wait to return
Im so disappointed about this place. The staff is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. There was a guy with a mustache serving soup. He didnt help my sister to make a choice of soup because he knows nothing about the food he serves. When I started ordering he just ignored me and took the order from the person who was after me. So I believe he doesnt have any customer service skills and knows nothing about customer service. Im so disappointed. There is no excuse for such behavior.
Fantastic vegan options close to the UN - great food, great variety.
Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner at Le Botaniste. We wanted something that delicious, unique, satisfying and healthy and they delivered the whole package. The atmosphere was bright and inviting and the staff was helpful and courteous. The food could convert and non-vegan to the “green side.” The food was organic, flavorful and fresh. with each bite I wanted more!
I popped into NYC from NC for the day to attend a meeting. I stopped at Le Botaniste. I got the Tibetan Mama and it was outstanding. Absolutely delicious!
Deliciousssss!!!! Sweet atmosphere and very nice stuff 🥰!
Nice plant-based spot. I had the young coconut ceviche, which was delicious. I also had the summer roll which might not be the prettiest one around, but it was tasty and full of a lot of stuff that I don’t remember:) Both the ceviche and the summer roll were in the “Bites” section of the menu, but if you want a light lunch, any of them on their own would be enough. Not too expensive and really nice food and settings.
I love the food, quality and staff/ service. My only comment is staff serving food are not wearing masks while serving and asking questions over food. While we are still taking precautions against COVID, that made me uncomfortable.
I really enjoyed the green pea hummus on my salad
It had been a year and half since my last visit and the food was still amazing!! I 100% recommend this place! The jackuna salad is perfect!
This is the favorite place in New York ❤️
Great Vegan location, good food! only seating is not comfortable, would prefer chairs instead of stools.
Always a win. This unique concept has some great core meals and lots of options. Tasty, organic and good price for a large meal. Great for a quick bite. Glad to see they have expanded to more locations.
I have brought my non-vegan friends to this place and each and everyone of them loved it!. This place has been my #1 choice in all categories for plantbased food restaurants in NYC. Great staff, great atmosphere, and even greater food!
If you’re looking for a truly healthy spot in nyc, this place is it! Creative quick cuisine that’s truly beneficial for living
Healthy and tasty, but very expensive, lunch place in Midtown. If ordering online from their site MAKE SURE you’re ordering from correct location (they have more than 1 in manhattan). The site is not that clear. I ended up ordering from UES location and was screwed out of lunch when I went to Midtown location to pick up. Hopefully they donate orders like this to the homeless. Otherwise I threw away $15+ on a Tibetan Mama bowl for nothing...
Trust the reviews, best ceviche I’ve ever had (and no raw fish to contend with). Thanks, Whole Foods, for having only lettuce organic on the bar today, or I would have never found my favorite restaurant in NYC.
Good food and nice employees, we loved it.
Delicious! The Moroccan Stew was out of this world and the staff was wonderful to us! 5 stars!
Good healthy food for your body and soul
Vegan restaurant with all organic ingredients. Good portions. Interesting food combinations. Busy at lunch time. Large, spacious space, good for large groups.
Gluten free vegan food. Many choices, Rich tastes. Very quick service. Extremely nice and helpful staff. Will definitely return.
Come to San Francisco. Perfect!
One of the best vegan Restaurants there i ever was!I did eat the Chilli, it was hot, but the next time, i order it hotter.
Excellent choice for vegan/vegetarian food. There are a lot of interesting choices in the entrees. The food is flavorful, and wholesome.
Clean, delicious vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Busy at lunchtime. Small seating area. The green peas hummus was outstanding!
Very good vegetarian dishes, and good customer service. Addons can make your order expensive ($2.50 each).
Great vegan food.
First time there and had the Tibetan Mama. So good, fresh, flavorful and healthy. 🍛 8/10
Very unique and precise display of menu and food, super friendly and helpful staff! Must visit to all food lovers vegan or non vegan.
Normally l would give this place 5 stars - but their new location at 43rd and Third needs to be tweaked - they were low on greens - just a bunch of soggy cucumbers- and the portion of Butternut Squash was half the size of the one I got yesterday at the Lexington Avenue location- Also the front door weighs about 50 pounds- way too heavy- Honestly I love this place- hope they get their act together!
Love their raw vegan options :) just love this place :)
Their pasta was like pasta soup. Literally liquid filling up the top of the bowl. Disgusting
What a great place and vegan too! Shows vividly that plant based food is delicious, healthy and fun. Thank you Le Botantiste!
Excellent vegetarian food for casual bite
Nice vegan food.
Delicious plant based food with a beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere. Great organic wine selection!
The menu displays Pasta mafioso. I find it very disrespectful for the millions of people who suffer for it. Mafia is not fun. Mafia kills people. Shame on you.
For a non-vegan, it was ok.
Nice variety of healthy vegan food in a cute and clean Cafe.
The male employee did not help me with the choice of the dish and started to serve the guest who was after me.
One of the staff was rude and sarcastic. I still visited second time and was the same staff who was whispering and laughing at us which has it put me offIts a shame as the food was amazing!
Food is incredibly tasty and the servings are quite generous.
Great food for the vegetarians,a little pricey,but worth it
Nice place, over pricing
Fantastic quirky set up and good friendly customer service! The food/drink are amazing and well priced.
There isnt one bad choice here. You will never miss non vegan options if you go here.
Great food. Go with the popular dish!!
Horrible experience with the chef again; better if walking a few streets down to other vegan spots
Really cute restaurant. My food was 6 out 10.

Lovely
Fine
Great
My favorite!!!
Delicious 😋
Without doubt an exceptional place. His motto is let food be medicine, that sums it up. 99% organic food (plant based). Everything is spectacular, seriously. From the decoration, apothecary type, transformed into kitchen. The attention is supreme. The quality of the food is really amazing, I am not exaggerating. The price is also excellent, with 12 dollars you go very well fed, light, and without eating junk! I recommended it to several friends and they were fascinated. I went to Sohos too and everything stays the same as this one.
Excellent experience. Reasonable prices. Delicious taste suggestions. Nice discovery.
Very good. Incredible desserts too.
Excellent

2022-06-09Walked in, it’s self-serving so just go up to the counter and order. It’s not very big but decent size to stop by for lunch or a quick bite.Not vegan but love how fresh and tasty the food is! I got the Tibetan Mama bowl with the omega 3 brownie. Brownie was a little dry and nothing special but still good. The bowl was delicious and I’ll definitely be back to try more or even make up my own! They have wine bottles on the table that have water in them.A charming little space!

2022-01-17Had an excellent experience at Le Botaniste! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and felt welcomed into the restaurant. I got the Tibetan Mama bowl which was delicious and perfect for a cold day. Everything was super fresh. The ambiance delightful. A great nicer casual place to take friends who are vegan or just enjoy some good food.

2022-08-07I loved this place and so did my non vegan friends! They had a curry (tibetian bowl) and I can just recommend everything! It looks and tastes amazing! The price is too

2022-05-31The food was well made and very filling. Glad to eat something so healthy. In the vegan world its easy to consume a lot of processed food. This is all whole foods. Loved it!

2022-04-19Delicious Vegan food! And I’m not even vegan.I have visited as often as I could just to enjoy the flavor and the bonus heathy feeling after. The Pasta Bolo (a vegan bolognese) is an amazing start for any first time visits.I can’t say enough just how much I genuinely enjoy their options. It’s a quick service style where you can use a reusable bowl or take out one of their compostable bowls.

2022-07-30To be honest I did not liked the food but my family loved.What no one liked was the way the cashier treated us. “Concept”, vegetarian, environment friendly and etc but with a disrespectful treatment to the costumer. Doesn’t make any sense

2022-03-08This restaurant looks elegant and nice but the food I found was not that great. I ordered the Vegetable Tajin thinking I was going to be eating Moroccan Tajin but instead I ate overcooked vegetable soup over couscous. I could not taste any Moroccan spices in it at all. I was very disappointed with this dish.There is a restroom inside but it is locked with a coded lock, so its for customers only. The food is pre prepared and sits inside large 8 qt stock pots on warmers. They top off my bowl with fresh bean sprouts and shredded carrots.I was rather dissapointed with the dish I ordered. They do sell wine here, by the glass.
