    Highly rated and attractive decor!
    Marianne W.

    Le Botaniste is a way overdue review. I wanted to try this place so when a friend suggested we go for lunch I was excited. Since I was eating very little I was satisfied with a meatless meal. Service was great and the atmosphere is very pleasing. I love the wall art. They sell their condiments if you want to take them home. I'm recommending and I plan to return when the weather warms up.

    The ambiance is so cost especially on a snowy day! The service was great. They were so nice and let me taste as many dishes prior to ordering. The food tasted so good! Tibetan mama 4/5 - I would have preferred roasted veggies on there Black bean soup 4/5

    Ample seating.

    HEALTHY ORGANIC VEGAN DINNER! Many choices and options. When you are hungry, they make your dinner plate right in front of you, promptly. I got the spicy chili sin carne (was good, appropriate and not too spicy), with free range tofu, extra protein, with superseed avocado; red beet detox, healthy; jasmine green tea for a little pep, chocolate raw cake for dessert, oh so nice! A great healthy Vegan restaurant choice for the Upper East Side, Organic and convenient. I'll be back! Thank you! See pictures, worth a thousand words! Like?

    Even their menu is beautiful!

    I had a terrific time, at this lovely spot; it was my first visit there, and I'd definitely return. The food was delicious. And even though it was all of the healthy things (check the boxes), it tasted so delicious and left me feeling full (while also light). It seems that the illusion of not being full post super healthy fare is just that -- an illusion. Tbh, I eat heartily, and I still couldn't finish this meal in one sitting. Plus, it was affordable -- sorry to sound so granular, but their satisfying meals are a great value proposition. : ) So, both my tummy and wallet left happy. The young people who served me there were attentive and sweet, and gave me a warm welcome. Last but not least, the physical environment was nearly as nourishing as the food itself; it's an aesthetically beautiful space, in which to gather one's self, refuel and take on life again. And Lord knows, we need plenty of such spaces in busy NYC! With Thanks & Love, Katherine

    super seed avocado, Moroccan Stew, Tibetan Mama coconut curry, raw mango cake

    Wow, La Botaniste is wonderful! What a joy to have so many organic, plant based options! Everything looks and smells so delicious it was hard to choose! We could not resist the triple seed avocado starter, beautifully crunchy and savory seeds surrounding perfect avocado! I had the coconut curry. The flavors were beautifully layered. I loved the veggies and kimchi--just a delicious combination of flavors. My friend had the Moroccan Stew and the flavors were warm and yummy. We shared the raw mango cake for dessert...it may look like a small piece but so flavorful that splitting it was perfectly satisfying. Lovely ambience as well, the music was enjoyable and kept a level where you can talk to your friends and enjoy the food and the vibes. Great food, lovely and friendly staff. Cant wait to go back and also try the other locations!

    If you need a detox, this place is it. Idk how else to explain it but it tastes like real food that will nourish your soul. Highly recommend the botanist salad and raw chocolate

    Vegetable Tajine (Moroccan vegetable stew)
    Lauren D.

    Super nourishing bowl and really hit the spot. I ordered the moroccan vegetable stew and the combination of warm roasted spiced root vegetables topped with fresh raw shredded colorful toppings was beautiful and delicious. Would love to try everything! Highly recommended

    Tbh I wouldn't suggest le botaniste. I got the falafel and green tea and everything was very flavorless. The store and aesthetics of the place was very beautiful and homey, but it felt more like a clothing store than a food store. I felt like I was going to go shopping for clothes or furniture than eat at a place. The customer service was ok, they weren't all that chatty and just did their job. Overall, this place felt very sterile and not a food place. Their food could use a lot more flavoring for sure. The portion size was alright and the pricing was moderate. It's a little bit on the pricey side. Price:$11.98 Rating: 3/10

    Botanical Salad
    John B.

    A vegetarian and convenient cafe, that offers various salad bowl kind of options. The spread is quite beautiful, and while I ordered the basic bowl, the option to customize was there for people with time and interest. The modest indoor seating included a few places with power outlets. I could discern no rest room (I never know what's going on in New York; anywhere else the idea of a bathroom-free eatery is bizarre). My bowl was light and delicious, a needed contrast to the indulgences the city has to offer, though I will say their seed-encrusted avocado adds substance. A green tea on the side was suitably vegetal in taste. It wasn't packed, but even in the middle afternoon was well attended. The desserts and other options are likely well worth the money, and another location of this place lies further downtown. Many of the trendy vegetarian restaurants around the city are hard to get into with the hours and the reservations, but this one was both high quality and practical for my needs.

    I was so excited to finally try this place! Staff greeted me as soon as I entered and was very warm. They reviewed the full food and wine menu with me. I'm a visual person and liked how they had picture and/ or physical displays of many items. I loved the ample seating and casual yet chic Euro cafe environment. Great portions. I liked that you get a real bowl and silverware when dining in.

    What a find! We just stumbled upon this hidden gem. We were warmly welcomed by all the staff who were polite, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about presenting their menu and seasonal specials. The place is very homey and cute. We went with their recommendations and enjoyed every morsel. We asked if they used seed oils in their preparation. It was comforting to know they make their recipes with olive oil including the hummus and hot dishes. They're very transparent and willing to explain everything about their ingredients and how what goes into each dish. We had one of the wellness homemade juice drinks and for dessert the chocolate and raspberry raw cakes. Only disappointments was that this location doesn't serve the adaptogenic lattes and you have to pay for filtered water, unlike Trufood kitchen that serves filtered water to all customers. Other than these trivial wishes, it was overall a great visit from beginning to end!

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

A couple of dishes stand out, but the others are bland and unmemorable. *Blue Crab Toast: My favorite thing I have eaten here. This is a dish I would come back for on its own. The portion of blue crab is generous, and it is mixed with what tastes like curry powder, giving it an almost Asian-inspired flavor. *Mediterranean Salad: It has all the right ingredients, but it is under seasoned. It tastes like you are eating plain vegetables. *Harissa Lamb Chop: The lamb is cooked very well, but the dish is bland, like you are just eating meat. *Lobster Arrabbiata: The portion of lobster is generous, but the whole dish is one dimensional. We ate about half of it, and even had lobster leftover. The ambiance is mixed. Some parts of the restaurant are great, while others are too dark. Service is attentive.

Shoutout to Chris who not only tended bar but worked the floor and to the lovely hostess whose name I wish I had gotten. But really the whole staff was just A+++. We shared the crispy artichokes (outstanding) and the cacio e Pepe arancini (where the fried parsley was especially unique and delicious) to start. I had the eggplant parmesan which reminded me of an eggplant dish I had in Venice -- but better. My husband had the ricotta cavatelli which was also great. For dessert I had the olive oil cake accompanied by lemon curd and --wait for it -- rosemary gelato. I was skeptical about this gelato, but it turned out to be a wonderfully fantastic surprise! My husband had the Apple Crostata which was also fantastic. The limoncello was a perfect way to end the meal. I was told by my husband that I can't shave off a star for Chef Tom not being there himself. So, I won't. Fair enough. But I'm still hoping I catch him another time.
