Wasn’t super impressed with the cold food

The food was premade and cold. Not exactly my thing.

Great food

Small place with just a few bar stalls and cute little tables. However there's a rich menu of bowls and soups, and also raw desserts. We took pasta bolo and miso soup soup of the day which was pumpkin. All were great!

Pros: Variety of options all vegan

Cons: It was too warm inside the place

Yummy and healthy in the heart of 🇪🇺

Fantastic, fresh and delicious dishes in good prices, the place is rather small, but very charming. A little crowdy, but that is due to its popularity, so I can get over it😉overall - awesome!

Saludable y delicioso

Algo subido de precio para la cantidad de las raciones, pero todo muy bueno. Pedimos tres platos y estaban todos deliciosos. El espacio muy bonito, diáfano y agradable.

Popular place with nice food. I like that you can go for a combination of half bowls, so you can try different dishes

Nice homely food

We had a pasta dish and a noodle dish.
The pasta dish was nice a warming the ratatouille that was served on it was really warm and tomato-y really good flavour.
The noodle dish had a great sauce with it and was a decent size. The only criticism is that the tofu was too firm for my liking.
We had a fresh lemonade with it that was good too.
We had a peanut butter cookie and a salted caramel desert. These were ok. The cookie was a bit too burnt around the edge and a bit too firm.

Good Menu, but less good tasting

I had the Asian Noodel Bowl and it was pretty tasteless, the noddels were a bit hard and the salad wasn‘t washed properly. You can get a glutenfree beer, which was what i did and it was great! My friends all had Pasta Bolognese and the noodles were bot cooked through. We also tried the vegan meatballs and sushiroll and they both were pretty decent.

Pros: Beer „Triple“ was good, Nice looking restaurant

Cons: Wasn‘t climated properly, Undercooked pasta

Lovely Whole-Food Dining

The restaurant is café style with a decent, expansive menu. It's a pleasant and flowery setting.

The food is quite homely or cosy and has plenty of flavour! Portion sizes are appropriate and overall the menu is well priced. Numerous Gluten Free options and a handful of meal deals available to get the combination of foods just right!

Overall a great choice, with friendly staff and fast service.

Pros: Soups, Gluten Free Breads

Great plant-based lunch spot with a cozy vibe

I had a lovely lunch at Le Botaniste in Brussels. The interior is charming and feels a bit like an old apothecary, with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is fully plant-based, with plenty of creative bowls and warm dishes to choose from.

The staff was friendly and helpful when I had questions about the ingredients. Prices are a bit high for the quality and portion size. Everything was good, nothing stood out as truly exceptional — but I’d definitely recommend it for a healthy and satisfying lunch!

kinda homey food

i wish it would be more protein based.
but it’s fine food.
brownie with that sauce is gooood
you have gyms around
vegan protein shakes could

Pros: brownie with that sauce

Cons: not enough protein variety

You can either get one of their bowls or make your own, they also have starters and desserts. The food is tasty, fresh, the staff is very nice and helpful. Very lovely decor too. I do not recommend the pecan cookie, a little burnt

Like subway but for hot bowl

A nice concept of hot bowl in which you choose a base (rice, quinoa, pasta…) then add a sauce with veggies in it, and then some toppings.

It was tasty, the desserts were nice and the portions are great.
