Incredibly fresh and healthy! - Edit
After walking through the crowds at Bryant Park's Winter Village, we stopped by for a light bite. My husband ordered tge mezze platte. There are a lot of cashews across the dishes and I have a sensitivity. One of the managers was too sweet and prepared a small platter with avocado, a veggie ball and curry chickpea salad. Everything was so fresh, healthy and refreshing! We also paired our plates with my favorite, natural wines. Such a cute spot!

Simply the best!! - Edit
I was unsure what to expect when I walked in, but Le Botaniste’s commitment to clean and healthy plant-based food is truly fantastic! You’re greeted with aromas of curry and chili and fresh herbs. I had then miso ramen bowl with quinoa noodles and it was about the best one I’ve ever had! I will come back whenever I visit NYC!

Affordable Lunch by Bryant Park - Edit
The best plant-based spot near Bryant Park to grab a nutritious meal while enjoying the aesthetics of the city.
Read moreLe Botaniste has a few locations in town and this one is one of their larger spots. Lots of open seating for you to choose after you order your meal at the counter.
They have a variety of plant-based options including seasonal menu items. I went with their Summer Noodle Salad which were wheat noodles over a bed of greens with avocado, peas, mushrooms, and other veggies topped with a ginger peanut sauce. Absolute hit if you're looking for a cold noodle dish for the summertime.
The entire restaurant felt clean and well kept, making it a very comfortable experience.

This is one of several locations around town. I generally go to the upper west side location, but this location was near my hotel. I came in with a coworker and had a really good meal. My coworker loved it.

Beautiful food! - Edit
I had the Mediterranean salad bowl and it was delish! Also had the seeded avocado on the side and was lovely! The menu was great! I was torn between the bowl, chilli and bolognese! All the staff were lovely and it’s situated right across the street from Bryant Park so I got it to go and sat in the park!

Great healthy Buddha bowls - Edit
I had the peanut butter curry bowl and it was delicious. I swapped the kimchi with sauerkraut, and everything was so good. I wish I was staying longer so I could try more of the menu. The place was spotless and well spaced out. The staff were very helpful and I was able to try the sauce before buying. Opposite Bryant park.

This place has a great vibe, and they offer samples of the different stews they have available. I wound up settling on a Tibetan curry that was absolutely excellent. They also have a small but fantastic offering of wines. Great for a quick bite!
