Great Value for money, top notch quality - Edit
Botaniste is one of the best value for money, to the point, good 'basic' vegan dishes place in town. Original set up and a wonderfull asset for the 'vegetarian' city of Ghent.

Simple, nutrious vegan food - Edit
Many fresh and healthy vegan dishes to choose from and gluten free options available. I like more spicy food so for me this one was too bland (We ordered and tasted 5 different meals). But place is cozy and easy and fast place to get nutrious vegan food.

Beautiful place - Edit
I really liked the decoration in this place. Service was friendly and extreme fast.
Read moreI had the sushi roll, Tibetan mama bowl and pecannut cookie.
The rolls were a big disappointment: very dry and not so much taste.
The bowl was good, just warm enough so that you could taste all the flavours.
The dessert was great: very big cookie, little bit soft and some extra chocolate to make it extra tasty.

Fine - Edit
You go in and order at the counter, then take your tray and sit somewhere. I ordered the menu which consisted of soup (or you could take salad) and half a bowl. I got the Tibetan mamma bowl. I couldn’t quite tell what flavour the soup was but it was warm and nice enough. The sauce on the bowl was nice but I wouldn’t say the whole thing was amazing. I also had a juice of carrot, turmeric and grapefruit. The turmeric was far too heavy and €5.50 for a juice seemed a bit expensive to me. It was convenient and it wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t rush back. All seems a bit pricey for a tray and carry it to your table place.

Must visit in Ghent - Edit
The food was amazing, as well as the restaurants "pharmacy" concept. The staff was very lovely. We were lucky to get seated as we didn't have a reservation, so make sure to call ahead. We had the Pasta Bolo, the Vegetable Tajine and the Quinoa Peanut Butter Cookie. Definitely recommend all of them!!!

Tasteless bowls - Edit
We came hungry to Le Botaniste in mid September. Took a selection of 3 bowls to try out. Unfortunately none was really good. Sushi roll was simply bad - for anybody who eats vegan sushi on a regular basis. The best were bottled kombuchas, but this will not add credibility to the place. Service was friendly to be fair.

Cozy and delicious vegan Cafe - Edit
We went here on a rainy Saturday afternoon and it was super nice. Delicious, fresh food in organic quality. Good portion sizes and good coffee too. Everything is plant based, which is a big advantage! I would recommend to visit le Botaniste when you are in Gent.

Healthy vegan option - Edit
Vegetables are plenty, friendly staff, incredibly easy to find something tasty and nutritious. Like most food I had in Belgium, flavors were not strong. I get it, it's a cultural thing. BUT unlike most places I had food in Belgium, there were actual vegetables on my plate and not just potatoes. I enjoyed my bowl here a lot.

Love this place - Edit
Reallyyyyy like their food!
Read moreWe went here several times.
We ordered the Mediterranean plate as a starter where you’ll get some crackers and several dips like hummus, a red beet dip, seaweed dip. All very nice.
For the main dishes we ordered the sharing platter where you can order 3 different kinds of smaller bowls so you can taste a bit from everything.
We really liked the pasta and the chilli and I really loveeee their curry with peanutbutter and baked veggies. They also offer matching natural wines.
The interior inside is super beautiful and cosy.
Pros: Tasty nourishing food, Fast , Cosy interior

Healthy, but so bland - Edit
Perfect for a quick bite (although our waiter worked extremely slow). We asked for salt and pepper on the table, but it still didn't do the trick. It's a real pity that a place called 'le botaniste' doesn't use any herbs in their preparations.
