"Even the cocktails at Botanica have vegetables in them, so you can count a beet drink as one of your five-a-day. (Those nutrients cancel out the mezcal, right?). The Levantine-leaning menu at this Silver Lake spot consists of simple meat and produce combos, like tahini-baked halibut with potatoes and roasted cauliflower coated in fermented honey. Botanica also serves a great weekend brunch, if you’re in the mood to cut into Turkish eggs on a sunny patio after a hike." - sylvio martins, brant cox
