"When your friend is only eating plant-based foods for the month, but you are very much not, there’s Botanica. This new-ish Silverlake all-day spot has a nice patio in the back, everything looks good when you point your phone at it, and they can supply you with a steady stream of rosé (and even better cocktails). There are many giant piles of green things on the menu, as well as heavier (but still super fresh) things like clams and chorizo or lamb kebobs. This is the answer when you need to make everybody happy." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
"Botanica is still as great as it has always been, with its charming Silver Lake patio and menu featuring the best of the season’s produce. Brunch runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day, making it easy to swing by for a morning mezze of laffa bread, turmeric-marinated farm egg with green tahini, and a marinated beet salad. For something sweet, try the Cake for Breakfast, a seared gluten-free coconut cake with passionfruit cream and jam." - Rebecca Roland
"Even the drinks at Botanica have vegetables in them, so you can count a beet cocktail as one of your five-a-day. (Those nutrients cancel out tequila, right?). The Levantine-leaning menu at this Silver Lake spot consists of simple meat and produce combos, like seared seabass with ratatouille and roasted cauliflower coated in a pine nut-pomegrante puree. Botanica also serves a great weekend brunch, too, if you’re in the mood to cut into Turkish eggs on a sunny patio after a hike." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Botanica balances California-grown produce with Mediterranean flavors, served effortlessly with compelling wines in the heart of Silver Lake. The morning mezze meal gathers a slew of dips and salads with fresh laffa bread, while a diner plate fuses seed-and-nut dukkah and Calabrian chile harissa with eggs and Nueske’s bacon. Shakshuka combines well-seasoned tomato-eggplant sauce with two sunny-side up eggs and a side of Bub & Grandma’s focaccia. Pro-tip: those with a sweet tooth should get the “cake for breakfast” because a slice of coconut cake with passionfruit cream is as nutritious as a pancake." - Matthew Kang
"Opened by food journalists Heather Sperling and Emily Fiffer in 2017, Botanica has become an essential addition to the neighborhood. Despite a few different chefs heading up the kitchen over the years, the restaurant and marketplace’s healthy-living ethos, excellent baked goods, and sunny back patio vibes continue to resonate at brunch and beyond." - Rebecca Roland
