"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

"Who says vegans can’t have fun? The dime-sized Silver Lake staple has been dishing out food that vegans eat for a while now, but few realize it’s BYOB. There are only a few tables at this sidewalk cafe, but if you can snag one, a bottle (or two) of wine during dinner never hurt anyone." - brant cox
"This breezy Silver Lake restaurant captures the balance between Californian produce and Mediterranean flavors, served effortlessly with compelling wines. 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." - Eater Staff
"The Deal: Two-course brunch/lunch (with a glass of rosé) for $35 per person, six-course vegetarian dinner (with two glasses of rosé) at $120 for two Why We Like It: We usually walk away spending around $30 for brunch or $60 for dinner at Bontanica, so the deal here is the discounted glass(es) of rosé. Come in the mood to drink. " - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, nikko duren
