My husband and I stopped here on our travels up north. The food was so good!! My husband had the crispy chix sandwich, it was delicious. I had the crunchy cauliflower bowl which was such a great mix of flavors and was very filling. The nacho dippers were awesome too. Food was ready very quickly too.

The best vegan restaurant we ate at during our visit to Charlottesville! The food was delicious, healthy, and surprisingly affordable. My husband and I savored every last bite. The staff were very friendly and our food came out quickly. We bought a bunch of cookies and desserts to take with us and they were all delicious as well. If you’re a vegan visiting the area, make sure to pay Botanical Fare a visit!

Absolute top-tier food. Everything tasted amazing, and there was an enormous selection. That might have been the best vegan chicken sandwich and the best vegan cheese I’ve ever had. Even the matcha was absurdly good.

Dayna Mason
The kale Cesar was excellent. The Mac and cheese was noodles with nutritional yeast on top – it was not cheesey or creamy which was very disappointing.

A great little spot we stopped in for a snack! My cousin and I were traveling for a race and arrived hungry! We were welcomed with a very friendly staff! I enjoyed a potato salad that was delicious! The staff and service was wonderful! We were provided with a bottle of water and glasses! Very warm and welcoming decor! The wall paper took me back in time but was modern at the same time. Nice lighting. A nice stop for a small treat. In addition to meals they offer coffee. I did not try any as it was late in the evening! There is Parking nearby in a parking garage or lot. The restaurant is right in the heart of downtown. Walk to area shops

A pretty awesome fully vegan place to have nearby. Some stuff is a little underwhelming, especially for the price, but definitely worth trying.

We came for breakfast two days in a row while visiting Cville for a wedding. Absolutely delicious food, so many yummy options. The coffee was great. We ordered the breakfast burrito, the classic, and a sweet waffle. Came back the next day for the savory waffle and the breakfast burrito! The staff was lovely and chatted with us both days. Their double chocolate muffin and coffee cake were also SO good and provided us with yummy snacks later in the day! If you are vegan or just love vegan food, definitely make this a stop! Wish we could have tried lunch and dinner!!

We have been vegan for 6ish years and it’s been tough to find restaurants that have lots of vegan options that aren’t just the meat replacements, nondairy cheese, or the impossible burger, but this place has actual food that is delicious!

Rory Gibbens
This is my favorite place to eat on the downtown mall. What they do with oyster mushrooms is otherwordly delicious! Fried chix steak style, so crispy and yummy, without being greasy. They are a little spendy, but I don’t mind paying for great food. Atmosphere is chill and pleasant, and service is just fine. Definitely recommend this place to everyone, even omnivores can dig this food.
