"Botanica’s bright, seasonal dishes that highlight local produce and farmers make even more sense when enjoyed on a warm day, sitting under the sun on Botanica’s patio. Just off Silver Lake Boulevard, the patio feels in its own world, with wooden tables and a covering offering shade overhead. During the day, opt for a slice of seared cake or a tartine; the dinner menu brings larger dishes like a burger, spiced lamb kofta, and seared bass. Botanica is an ideal place to meet friends, or host a casual work lunch — chances are, everyone will find something they like on this menu, as long as they’re open to vegetables. Book a reservation through Resy." - Rebecca Roland
