Le Botaniste, the plant-based and organic restaurant co-founded by Laurent Francois and Alain Coumont, has opened its sixth New York City location at PENN 11 (154 West 32nd Street). Known for its vibrant, health-focused menu, the fast-casual spot is redefining vegan dining with inventive dishes that are as nourishing as they are delicious.
Popular items include the Tibetan Mama bowl, featuring brown rice, coconut peanut curry, steamed greens, and kimchi, and the Pasta Bolo, made with quinoa fusilli and a hearty plant-based Bolognese. Small plates like Green Pea Hummus with cashew and mint and the Young Coconut Ceviche with lime and jalapeños offer bold, refreshing flavors. For dessert, options like the Omega 3 Brownie, made with flaxseeds and cashew cream, provide a sweet, guilt-free treat.
Drinks range from natural wines and cold-pressed juices to surprising adaptogenic lattes, rounding out a menu designed to leave you feeling good inside and out. With a focus on sustainability and conscious eating, Le Botaniste proves that plant-based food can be satisfying, flavorful, and accessible.
Open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, Le Botaniste’s Penn Plaza location is ready to serve its signature colorful dishes to hungry New Yorkers. Visit lebotaniste.us for more information.
