Busy, Central Location. Kind Staff. Vintage Interior. - Edit
The two meals I had here were robust and nourishing without being heavy. The flavors are rich and the ingredients are high-quality.

Great concept - Edit
I really liked the layout and the style of food. We came for brunch and left very happy and satisfied. The whole food, plant based meals from my dreams! My one issue was that the food was warm, but not hot. Some items were hot while others came out of the fridge and together, the plate ended up just warm. Aside from that, I felt the service was nice and the dishes were beautifully rainbow. #Veganuary

Homemade Food - Edit
When you walk in, make sure you go up to where the food is. You will see six Dutch ovens all percolating with hot stews and food. We ordered the chili con carne both the spicy version and the non-spicy version and both tasted homemade. Extremely delicious. Service was superb as well.  #Veganuary

Outstanding Fast-Casual Option in NYC - Edit
I have been to several Le Botaniste locations throughout NYC, and I have to say that the food is consistently delicious for a fast-casual lunch option. I particularly loved the curry bowl and chili bowls, as well as the dip sampler. Whenever I am out and about in the city and need a quick bite, I seek out my nearest Le Botaniste.
Read morePros: Fast and delicious vegan food, Friendly staff, Conveniently located
Cons: Bit on the expensive side, Menu can be a bit confusing the first time

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!

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.

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.
