Tried the chili sin carne and it was delicious. The layers of flavor were delightful and I enjoyed every bite. I also tried the brownie and loved it. Pairing sesame, cashew and a decadent brownie, this treat was the cherry on top of the meal.

I found this place accidentally and Im so glad I did! It has extremely delicious healthy vegan food for a reasonable price. Appetizer and lunch combo in the picture - $30 total including tips. Also aesthetic of the place is 🤌

DELICIOUS vegan food! Incredible selection and mouth watering chef creations! You must try their avocado slices that are covered in seeds, it’s SO GOOD! Definitely would recommend it, 10/10! Great for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, allergy conscious, health conscious, delicious food! Even got some yummy fresh pressed juice with my meal!

This was a nice little spot. We had the soup and the summer roll. It is a nice menu and decent vegan food. I wouldn’t say this is the best vegan food we’ve had, vegan can still be beautifully flavoured and balanced. We found the food lacked flavour and balance. I’ve had lots of beautiful vegan food all over the world and I suppose I hoped a spot in NYC would be elevated.The service was lovely and the seating was also nice! I’d recommend it for the price but know it won’t be spectacular. It’s good!

If you are looking for dishes with a lot of salad then Mediterranean salad is perfect for you, I didnt have enough quinua as I like to eat a lotBut overall great salad!

We gave Le Botaniste a try because it is a 100% vegan restaurant, perfect for vegans and vegetarians in the city. The Tibetan Mama bowl was great! It was flavorful and diverse in color and texture - the kimchi contrasted delightfully with the curry. On the other hand, the soup of the day was bland and honestly quite sad. The food here is a mixed bag, but I still recommend you give it a try!

The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food lacks flavor. Although the presentation was nice, the dishes lacked soul. After the entrance, I had low expectations. However, the dessert was better than expected.

Walked into this place on a rainy Tuesday afternoon for lunch. I didn’t have many expectations, aside from maybe that they’d have plenty of vegan options. Once inside, I notice that the interior is very relaxed, light and casual, and it took little less than 5 minutes to order. We both got the Tibetan mama bowl with a cup o’ coffee, and they make it right in front of your eyes with fresh ingredients in quaint ceramic bowls. We took our trays to the covered and clean outdoor seating section, and ate by the busy road. I was wow’ed by the bowl! Delicious combination of flavors, including curry, brown rice, fresh veg and.. kimchi of all things - an interesting spicy fermented bite.. Not sure what kimchi has to do with Tibet, but I don’t care it was tasty. Once returning our trays, we noticed the line nearly went out the door - so better to get here for an earlier lunch rather than a later. Even so, the line should go relatively fast. Would definitely come back regularly for a quick, healthy bite to eat that leaves you feeling satisfied but not grossly full, and isn’t extraordinarily expensive.

One of my favorite vegetarian restaurants. I visit it every time I travel to NYC. My teen boys who like meat also love this place. Healthy and tasty food tasted like homemade, fresh ingredients and full of flavors. Tibetan Mama and Vegetable Tajine are our favorites. They have several locations in Manhattan.

Beautiful plant based eatery right on 3rd Ave next to Wells Fargo.. got the Tibetan Mama.. ie coconut curry bowl w/ brown rice.. veggies.. and spicy harissa sauce on top.. was flavorful and tasty! Nicely decorated interior.. ideal spot to hang out, maybe get some work done.. or spend time with friends. Cool option to add $3 to bill to plant a tree in Peru or Armenia

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!

Walked 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!

Review №13

I’d give zero starts if I could, not sure why it’s so highly ratedI got a couple of items, no flavor and heavily saltedAlso got the veggie balls, they were super over cooked and got the tofu with it. They charged me for the extra tofu, citing four pieces and it was literally 4 small cubes! How can you call this a side order and charge so much for it? Really dislike places that try to misrepresent their offerings and charge so muchThe tofu cubes were so tough and salty, had to throw the whole thing outWill not be going back

Review №16

This 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.

Delicious 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.

This is really cool looking place inside and the service was very attentive. This was my first visit and definitely will be back and I am a carnivore. Was really impressed with the brownie. It was really tasty and not too sweet. It was dense and soft. Not the brownie I grew up eating however I went back to take one home. The wicked drink was really good on a chilly day. If you like tuneruc.based drinks, get thisIt was warm, creamy and good. The drink is savory and flavorful without being over spicy.

Although Ive only been a vegetarian for about a year, Le Botaniste stands out as one of the finest vegan restaurants Ive had the pleasure of dining in so far. I was immediately charmed by the ambience and the friendliness of the staff. Though it was hard to decide to what to try, I ultimately decided on the Chili Sin Carne. It was wonderfully spiced and seasoned, and the portion size was more than ample.

Beautiful little spot with great food! I had the spicy chili sin carne (not very hot but lots of flavorful spices). I really enjoyed it, and the service was great. They let me sample the sauces and pick my favorite. Prices were fair, too.Overall great experience! Wish they had seats with backs, but thats a minor thing. Really liked it, wish I lived here to come back!

I have a family visiting for few days and most are vegetarians, and boy, Im happy I decided to take them to this place. From moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and superior knowledge of menu. Martin was going above and beyond with customer service skills, knowledge of nutrients of each item, and his inviting and warm personality we all felt definitely lighten up our night. When he gave us our food, it looked almost too beautiful to eat. His recommendations for wines that paired perfectly with each bowl we ordered made our night even better. Thank you! Will be coming back again very soon!

Review №38

This place is one of the all time NY favorites for inexpensive, but super tasty lunch.The food here tastes homey, is very veggie forward and just plain delicious. Tibetan Mama and Chilli Sin Carne were the favorites, while Tagine was good, just not to my taste. Veggie balls were just ok, but the green pea hummus they came with was a mouthful of flavor!The place just looks and feels elevated enough, so you don’t feel like you’re in a cheap eatery. Overall it’s highly recommended and honestly for this price it’s closer to 4.5 stars, which it absolutely deserves!

Review №47

The staff were friendly, the sushi roll was nice but the tagine was flavourless and I didnt appreciate the odd salad they put on top? Who puts spring onion on a tagine?! The menu is sporadic and follows no particular theme apart from random vegan food from lots of cultures. Menu is so limited Id dare to say their are more vegan options at non vegan specific restaurants

Review №48

Feeling under the weather, I looked for a place to get a soup ; I looked into a plant based restaraunt called La Botaniste whose staff wears pretentious white medical gowns; I tried a sample of their soup of the day; it tastes like DayQuil and NyQuil combined; their motto is let food be your medicine; Isn’t it amazing that their staff treats you as if you are a patients; Why don’t they wear stethoscope to hear our hearts that cry at the meretricious menu which includes items with names like Omega and Gamma in it?Have we not had enough of these wellness stores and their offer of becoming balance and centered ?

Got the nastiest attitude from the two women working tonight. They were very stingy with serving size. Instead of giving me sour cream from the bowl she scraped out whatever was stuck to the lid of the container and called it. Additionally loaded my bowl with rice and two small streaks of the chili. Pretty disappointing for someone who lives nearby and comes often

Review №52

This place is fast, casual, and delicious. Been here a couple times and I believe everything is reported to be 100% organic. This most recent visit I got the pasta bolognese, which was incredibly filling and comforting. Its not going to taste parallel to meat, but there is substance there and would appeal to those who are moving towards a plant focused eating lifestyle. The staff is always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Review №53

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.

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.

Review №60

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...

Meal last night was delicious but unfortunately staff attitude was poor when taking our orders. More importantly, none of the staff did anything when an intimidating and seemingly mentally ill man came inside le botaniste, and proceeded to harass a few of the tables - the staff just watched behind the counter as those dining guests were clearly uncomfortable and had to fend for themselves.

Review №73

A friend and I stopped in for dessert and we got the Omega 3 Brownie and Red Fruit Chia Pudding, both very nice.The brownie was the size of a mini cupcake and came with a tasty vanilla cashew cream sauce. It had a rich chocolatey flavour and a nice consistency (leaning more towards cake-like than fudgey, FYI). The pudding had a great mellow coconut flavour contrasted nicely by the tangy fruit topping. Id be happy getting either dessert again, or both!Like the other locations, this one had a pretty interior and nice staff. One thing I really, really appreciate about Le Botaniste is their use of proper vessels and cutlery, not the throwaway kind which is becoming all too normal. Vegans spare animals by not eating them but that shouldnt give us a free pass to destroy their homes for our convenience!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Their pasta was like pasta soup. Literally liquid filling up the top of the bowl. Disgusting

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!

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.

Beautiful and Healthy at Le BotanisteFrom the moment I walked into Le Botaniste, I knew I was going to have a unique dining experience. The food is not only delicious but also extremely healthy. It is evident that they put a lot of effort into selecting fresh and natural ingredients for their dishes. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options they offer, all of them full of flavor and nutrients.The staff deserves a special mention. From the beginning, they were attentive, helpful and willing to answer any questions about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on and showed a deep knowledge of the dishes they offer.I highly recommend Le Botaniste to those looking for a healthy option without sacrificing flavor. It is more than a restaurant, it is an experience that celebrates well-being and good eating.

Without a doubt an exceptional place. Their motto is let the food be the medicine, that sums it up. 99% organic food (plant based). Everything is spectacular, seriously. From the decoration, apothecary type, transformed into a kitchen. Attention is supreme. The quality of the food is really amazing, Im not exaggerating. The price is also excellent, with 12 dollars you leave very well fed, light, and without having eaten garbage! I recommended it to several friends and they were fascinated. I went to the one in Soho too and everything is kept the same as this one.
