Reviews for Botanical Plant-Based Fare in Charlottesville, VA
Grabbed dinner here before a show at the pavilion. They have outdoor seating on the mall, which we enjoyed. We got the shroom... blt, Mac and cheese, sweet potato bowl and a cookie. We didn?t care for the mac and cheese but the sweet potato bowl andsandwich were some of the best vegan food we?ve had anywhere. We are still talking about how good it was. Sometimes veganrestaurant food is too greasy and unhealthy to make up for no animal products but not here. It wasn?t overly oily, justperfectly seasoned, healthy but still filling. Service was great! Will definitely be back next time we are in cville. Read more
I love the downtown pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, yet it always bugged me there wasn?t a single purely vegan (or even... purely vegetarian) restaurant among the many places to eat. UNTIL NOW ? and what?s even better? It?s delicious AND healthy. Ihave eaten there twice so far, and will probably work my way through the entire menu with time. I had the small pesto pasta bowlthe first time, which was yummy (although a bit one-sided as a meal ? I would probably would add a salad to that next time). The second time, I had their ?tuna? sandwich, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Not too heavy, just right for a summer evening. Read more
Yum yum yum! Thankful we found this gem! All vegan menu! LOVED how there wasn\'t anything to \"throw away\" after our meal. They... give you silverware, ceramic plates, glass cups, etc. Everything was delicious, friendly staff, clean restaurant, AND they haveoutdoor seating. Read more
A little pricey, but a good spot for vegan food. Try the rainbow Terra, wonton nachos, Mac and cheese, and the almond bar. Not... impressed with the Empowered cheese cake.. Read more
I Loveeeee this place!!! The food is amazing!! The fried mushroom sandwich had been on my mind ever since I ate it!! The vegan... sausage and egg sandwich was sooooo great too!! Mmm and the cauliflower bowl too!!! I can?t get enough :) :) :) Read more
Atmosphere- 5/5\nFood- 4/5\nService- 5/5\nValue- 4/5\n\nIt?s great having a new vegan-focused cafe on the downtown mall, and the... people working here are delightful, but it must be said that the food is underwhelming. There are guacamoles are curries indowntown to get a much better vegan fix Read more
Everyone here is so friendly. Very cute atmosphere overall. I love the creativity in their menu. The side salad that comes with... the sandwich tasted wonderful, and the sweets at the counter also looked so good, although we didn?t have any. However, we werenot entirely blown away like everyone else by the food itself. Personally I think non-grilled sourdough has a very strong flavorand it overpowers the very well seasoned mushroom on top. The value was also not great considering the price/size/taste to someother sandwich shops in town. Read more
I was over the moon to hear about a new, 100% vegan/cruelty-free lunch spot in cville, and can confirm this lived up to my... expectations! The service was fantastic and the food was so yummy. Highly recommend the rainbow terra salad and their?specialty? oat milk lavender latte.\n\nAlready looking forward to my next visit! If I didn?t live over an hour away, I?d bepopping in every day.
