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.

I abide by a mostly vegan/gluten free/refined sugar free lifestyle, and I am delighted to have goodsugar near my office for breakfast and mid-day snacks. So far I’ve indulged (guilt free, of course) in the following amazing items: coffee parfait, berry beauty parfait, matcha parfait, overnight oats (oatmeal), and the pecan bar. I love the parfaits, thought everything has been solid—with ingredients I can *trust*. And, I love the fun little sticker “fortunes” on the glass jars. A beautiful concept inside and out! Can’t wait to try the buffalo cauliflower soon.

I order take out from here all the time but recently went in person. They have the best homemade marinara sauce I've ever had. My friend who dined with me can't have gluten. She ate her entire bowl of gluten free pasta, which was massive. I will order from here again and again. They have a few tables out front if you want to take in the elements.

I absolutely love going to Mediterraneo! My go-to order is the gluten-free margherita pizza (the crust is extra crispy) and a fresh salad — the perfect combo. The vongole is also amazing!!! This family-owned gem is a true neighborhood treasure. Melania is the warmest, most welcoming presence, she gives the best hugs. It truly feels like walking into your favorite aunt’s home for dinner. Places like this are what give the Upper East Side its charm and sense of community. Can’t wait to return!

We booked lunch at this place because one of the group had seen the film of the same name. Generous portions: we couldn't finish our plate, and we had to share the dessert, which was equally large, to be able to taste it. Gluten-free dishes available. Precise and attentive staff.

Super fresh and tasty. I'm vegan and gluten free so I made my own bowl. Lots of options - both my wife (non vegan) and I thought it was delicious.
