    Highly rated and attractive decor!
    Marianne W.

    Le Botaniste is a way overdue review. I wanted to try this place so when a friend suggested we go for lunch I was excited. Since I was eating very little I was satisfied with a meatless meal. Service was great and the atmosphere is very pleasing. I love the wall art. They sell their condiments if you want to take them home. I'm recommending and I plan to return when the weather warms up.

    Ample seating.

    HEALTHY ORGANIC VEGAN DINNER! Many choices and options. When you are hungry, they make your dinner plate right in front of you, promptly. I got the spicy chili sin carne (was good, appropriate and not too spicy), with free range tofu, extra protein, with superseed avocado; red beet detox, healthy; jasmine green tea for a little pep, chocolate raw cake for dessert, oh so nice! A great healthy Vegan restaurant choice for the Upper East Side, Organic and convenient. I'll be back! Thank you! See pictures, worth a thousand words! Like?

    super seed avocado, Moroccan Stew, Tibetan Mama coconut curry, raw mango cake

    Wow, La Botaniste is wonderful! What a joy to have so many organic, plant based options! Everything looks and smells so delicious it was hard to choose! We could not resist the triple seed avocado starter, beautifully crunchy and savory seeds surrounding perfect avocado! I had the coconut curry. The flavors were beautifully layered. I loved the veggies and kimchi--just a delicious combination of flavors. My friend had the Moroccan Stew and the flavors were warm and yummy. We shared the raw mango cake for dessert...it may look like a small piece but so flavorful that splitting it was perfectly satisfying. Lovely ambience as well, the music was enjoyable and kept a level where you can talk to your friends and enjoy the food and the vibes. Great food, lovely and friendly staff. Cant wait to go back and also try the other locations!

    Even their menu is beautiful!

    I had a terrific time, at this lovely spot; it was my first visit there, and I'd definitely return. The food was delicious. And even though it was all of the healthy things (check the boxes), it tasted so delicious and left me feeling full (while also light). It seems that the illusion of not being full post super healthy fare is just that -- an illusion. Tbh, I eat heartily, and I still couldn't finish this meal in one sitting. Plus, it was affordable -- sorry to sound so granular, but their satisfying meals are a great value proposition. : ) So, both my tummy and wallet left happy. The young people who served me there were attentive and sweet, and gave me a warm welcome. Last but not least, the physical environment was nearly as nourishing as the food itself; it's an aesthetically beautiful space, in which to gather one's self, refuel and take on life again. And Lord knows, we need plenty of such spaces in busy NYC! With Thanks & Love, Katherine

    If you need a detox, this place is it. Idk how else to explain it but it tastes like real food that will nourish your soul. Highly recommend the botanist salad and raw chocolate

    Vegetable Tajine (Moroccan vegetable stew)

    Super nourishing bowl and really hit the spot. I ordered the moroccan vegetable stew and the combination of warm roasted spiced root vegetables topped with fresh raw shredded colorful toppings was beautiful and delicious. Would love to try everything! Highly recommended

    Tbh I wouldn't suggest le botaniste. I got the falafel and green tea and everything was very flavorless. The store and aesthetics of the place was very beautiful and homey, but it felt more like a clothing store than a food store. I felt like I was going to go shopping for clothes or furniture than eat at a place. The customer service was ok, they weren't all that chatty and just did their job. Overall, this place felt very sterile and not a food place. Their food could use a lot more flavoring for sure. The portion size was alright and the pricing was moderate. It's a little bit on the pricey side. Price:$11.98 Rating: 3/10

    I was so excited to finally try this place! Staff greeted me as soon as I entered and was very warm. They reviewed the full food and wine menu with me. I'm a visual person and liked how they had picture and/ or physical displays of many items. I loved the ample seating and casual yet chic Euro cafe environment. Great portions. I liked that you get a real bowl and silverware when dining in.

    A vegetarian and convenient cafe, that offers various salad bowl kind of options. The spread is quite beautiful, and while I ordered the basic bowl, the option to customize was there for people with time and interest. The modest indoor seating included a few places with power outlets. I could discern no rest room (I never know what's going on in New York; anywhere else the idea of a bathroom-free eatery is bizarre). My bowl was light and delicious, a needed contrast to the indulgences the city has to offer, though I will say their seed-encrusted avocado adds substance. A green tea on the side was suitably vegetal in taste. It wasn't packed, but even in the middle afternoon was well attended. The desserts and other options are likely well worth the money, and another location of this place lies further downtown. Many of the trendy vegetarian restaurants around the city are hard to get into with the hours and the reservations, but this one was both high quality and practical for my needs.

    What a find! We just stumbled upon this hidden gem. We were warmly welcomed by all the staff who were polite, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about presenting their menu and seasonal specials. The place is very homey and cute. We went with their recommendations and enjoyed every morsel. We asked if they used seed oils in their preparation. It was comforting to know they make their recipes with olive oil including the hummus and hot dishes. They're very transparent and willing to explain everything about their ingredients and how what goes into each dish. We had one of the wellness homemade juice drinks and for dessert the chocolate and raspberry raw cakes. Only disappointments was that this location doesn't serve the adaptogenic lattes and you have to pay for filtered water, unlike Trufood kitchen that serves filtered water to all customers. Other than these trivial wishes, it was overall a great visit from beginning to end!

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

It's a small area with the tables pretty close together. We were given a table in the far corner, which was perfect for comfort and looking out at the restaurant. Two of us each ordered a glass of house wine, which were "ok." We opted for the Boqueria Experience, which is $65 per person and includes a variety of chef-selected tapas, a paella and an order of the restaurant's special JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA, which is described on the charcuterie menu as aged 48 months, with deep marbling, rich and nutty flavor. We enjoyed most of the tapas, including the potatoes, the beef/lamb balls, the salad and bruschetta. The croquettes were "ok" with the heavy aeoli masking some of the flavor. The seafood paella was good and was different from ones I've had in the past, with the caramelized layer on the bottom. Yum. Honestly, none of us was a big fan of the Jamon Iberico de Bellota. I'm sure it's special and luxurious, but we found it not to have much flavor. Frankly, it was a big disappointment for us. The service was beyond excellent. We were very pleased with the timing of the presentation of the meal, the superb water service and the general enthusiasm and pleasantness of the Staff. We will come back and try different items on the ala carte menu. I thought there would be more seafood and meat tapas offerings in the "Experience". Instead, it was a lot of cheese, vegetables, dates and bread. Although $65 per person likely was a good value for what we got, I think the tapas items were heavy on the lower cost tapas and that it wasn't a true top-of-the-line "Experience". A seafood dish or even a chicken dish (chicken wings) instead of one of the two croquette offerings would have helped.

I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.
