If you’re looking for a meal that’s entirely plant-based, Le Botaniste is a great choice. The restaurant was thoughtfully designed, creating a calm and welcoming space that’s perfect for dining solo, with friends, or even catching up on work with your laptop. The staff were warm and friendly, and the food presentation was beautiful. I ordered the Pasta Bolo and Tibetan Mama bowls—both were excellent. The Tibetan Mama, in particular, was full with flavor and very filling. Though I’m not vegetarian, I enjoyed the meal and appreciated the organic ingredients. There’s plenty of comfortable seating, and the peaceful interior makes it easy to relax and linger. Highly recommend whether you’re plant-based or just looking for a clean meal! Read less

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 Read less

Delicious. I had the chili and it was really good! I had it with the tofu and the seed covered avocado. It was a great portion and I enjoyed every bite. I also had the brownie and it was tasty as well. It was easy to find. Very clean with lots of searing and a great atmosphere. The staff was very pleasant and offered a lot of advice as well as a warm welcome. The ambiance in the store was really nice and I liked the back seating area with its natural lighting. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in NYC. Read less

I’m not a vegan, nor am I particularly interested in vegan food, but I ended up at this restaurant because someone in my group is. Since I generally love vegetables and eat them a lot, I was actually looking forward to trying some delicious vegan dishes. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. While the interior and presentation were impressive, the food itself was very dry or bland. The table, dishes, and silverware were noticeably dirty, it didn’t feel like the staff really cared about the customers. It was disappointing that, despite using a variety of ingredients, there seemed to be no real attention paid to the flavor. Read less
