Great service and great clean food - Edit
The Brazilian manager of this location took real care in dealing with my wife's complicated allergies, didn't rush her and made her feel like he cared. The food was wonderful all 3 times we have visited NYC we make it a point to eat there. Really great!

Vegan Bowls - Edit
Different options for vegan bowls to choose from the menu or to build your own. The taste was very good, everything was freshly made. I can recommend the vegan balls! The location is next to the Bryant Park, good to take a bowl to go and picnic in the park!

Very tasty healthy food - Edit
We had kombuchas and an Americano to drink. As a main, we had the Mediterranean Pasta and the Tibetan Mama. For dessert, we had the Omega 3 Brownie and the Chocolate Pecan Cookie. Everything was really good, especially the Tibetan Mama.

Vegan quick option that satisfies! - Edit
I went here twice for to-go meals. Hearty, but doesn't weigh you down. Super quick service. I recommend the chili and the summer noodle salad.

This was the 2nd location we tried while visiting NY. It is larger and busier than the one near Penn Station. It was just as good and the people were just as nice. I really liked this chain.

I go for the brownie - Edit
* Salad base with 4 add-ons: carrots, white bean salad and tofu good but green pea chumus is sweet and not in a good way. Aioli dressing good.
Read more* Brownie is moist and delicious even without cream (I was trying to watch my calories)
*Not cheap but good: total for a big salad, tea, and a brownie was about $30

Hello Suzagord!
Read moreI'm delighted you enjoyed our moist brownie and most of your salad selections at Le Botaniste, and I appreciate your honest feedback about the green pea chumus which I'll share with our kitchen team to consider adjusting the sweetness level. Thank you for visiting us and for recognizing the quality of our 100% plant-based, organic offerings, even if the price point reflects our commitment to premium ingredients.
