Le Botaniste – restaurant

Le Botaniste is a plant-based, largely organic food and wine bar that treats vegetables as the point rather than the compromise. The format is bowls: coconut curry, chili sin carne, pasta bolognese, Moroccan veggies, a burrito bowl, plus botanical and Mediterranean salads. Starters run to lemon turmeric hummus, falafel, young coconut ceviche and superseed avocado, with omega-3 brownies and raw chocolate cake to finish, alongside kombucha, cold-pressed detox juices and natural wine. Diners like that it feels restorative without feeling austere, and that the apothecary-styled rooms are genuinely pleasant to linger in. Green, but never worthy.
