Really lovely place for a healthy, delicious meal. I’m gluten-free so I appreciated that that was the default (instead of having to parse through the menu to find the GF options). My partner and I ordered the Tibetan Mama and Saag Bota. Both were flavorful and we loved that they were filling but didn’t leave us feeling heavy afterwards. The staff were also friendly and welcoming, and helpfully walked us first-timers through the menu. We’ll happily eat at Le Botaniste again!

As a gluten free girlie, this is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the city. I get the pad thai and it's consistently delicious. Also, the staff is always attentive but today Kade helped me and she was absolutely lovely. Kind smile, super sweet, and on point with everything! Loved it.

This place has been around the upper east side for a very long time and it never disappoints! It's definitely pricier than other Chinese places in the area but they serve higher quality food that is less greasy, less sweet, and less salty. They also serve dim sum all day. With all that being said, some of their dishes are still catered to the western palate but it is still better than other places in the area. Here are some of my favorite items from them Fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are legit. It's giant, filling and crispy. Hot and sour soup. Very good and filling. Perfect for colder days. Walnut prawns. Very big prawns that are flavored in this nice sweet and savory white sauce with fried walnuts. Sautéed pea shoot. Very good while getting your fibers in. Shrimp with black bean sauce and mined pork. Very good and flavorful. Turnip cakes. Delicious and crispy. Chives and shrimp patty. Lots of flavor. They also have lots of gluten free options here. Service is always top notch. Overall a solid spot on the UES

Great place for an all day breakfast and more. The vibes are super old school Newyorker style. Good coffee! And GLUTEN FREE options. I definitely recommend it.
