Botanica Restaurant and Market

I had an amazing experience at Botanica a couple weeks ago when visiting LA. Everything from the drinks to dessert were so delicious. I was thrilled with the gluten free options. Everyone in my party was trying to decide which dish was their favorite because they were all so good! Our service was great too! Will definitely be back any time we visit LA and will be thinking about this meal for a while! Definitely try this place especially if you have dietary restrictions such as gluten free.

I love that they have a simple menu with plenty of vegetarian options. The chicken thigh was actually delicious but I felt that it would have been better with something else on that plate - not sure what and I would still order it again. The cassoulet was the star - the beans were perfect and the chef was so wonderful for coming out to describe her dishes to us, incredible of her to take the time out. Our waitress was really knowledgeable about the dishes and a fun person. We got some scotch whiskey and decided to skip dessert - maybe next time. I loved the mushroom and farro - crispy but not fried or heavy. Their wine selection is solid and they have a great ambience. Not too loud, seating is great with lots of people watching. We found parking out front but if you have trouble park a little further away on the main street because it's a beautiful walk in that neighborhood. Bathroom was clean and no smells of food in the kitchen which is always a plus. They have very high ceiling insi

Love, love, love this place. Came here for brunch and left feeling very happy and satisfied over our fantastic meal. We ended up each having two glasses of wine (a Slovakian Orange and a skin-contact Pinot Gris) along with the heirloom bean hummus with caramelized spiced lamb, Turkish eggs and winter tartine. The spiced lamb was fantastic, highly recommend. Even after all of that for two people, we also ordered the cake for breakfast which was a great end to the meal. Our waiter (can’t remember if we ever caught his name) was super knowledgeable with our wine selection and helped us pick up two bottles to take home.
