The wife found this restaurant online and with her being a veggie centric kind of person, we had to…read morecheck it out. I don't discriminate and therefore eat anything and everything, so I'm all for some veggies and fresh/raw foods. I dare say that I may even be a part time vegan, emphasis on the part time.
I think that we got there some time around lunch and it seemed like they were in the middle of a lunch crowd rush. The wife and I looked at the menu items for the day and eventually we were able to be served. I think that there were only 2 people working there and the service was a little chaotic. Most tables were occupied and it took us some time to figure out how he place was run. Basically you order at the counter and take a seat and once your food is ready, they bring it to your table. The wife ordered the Tibetan mama, which was a curry dish and I got a mushroom dish but I forgot the name of it. Every ingredient was perfectly prepared and the flavors really popped in every bite. This was probably the most memorable meal that we had while in Belgium. It definitely stood out for quality and flavor. If you are a vegan hipster, there will be at least one place for you to eat in Ghent. Of course I kid, actually Ghent is known for it's vegetarian culture. At least that's what our hotel travel guide told us. The wife and I would definitely return to Le Botaniste, in fact, we were both sad that we didn't get a second meal here before we we left Ghent.
Great flavor for food
