Botanist Veggie Cafe

Recommend the Nasi Lemak , specially like the tempeh peanut sesame. Rendang with small portion of brown rice is good to add on some of green vegetables. Mushrooms broccoli White sauce spaghetti is way too much sweetened-milk. Atmosphere is nice and comfortable for gathering 4 to 8 pax

We located a vegetarian restaurant via Google Maps. The establishment had received excellent reviews and reasonable feedback, which prompted our decision to dine there. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a tall waiter and a waitress, both of whom were friendly and attentive. However, the head waiter, who wore spectacles, did not extend a welcoming or friendly demeanor. When we inquired about signature dishes, he responded without any discernible expression. We encountered mosquito bites during our visit, and we kindly request the owner's attention to this matter. Overall, the food was excellent, particularly the glass noodles fried with sambal. We suggest enhancing the flavor profile of the sweet and sour dish. The ambiance was peaceful and relaxing, and we recommend this establishment. While it warrants a four-star rating, our experience was diminished by the head waiter's service and the presence of mosquitoes. We hope for improvements upon our next visit. Thank you.

We had 2 of our meals while staying in Melaka at the Botanist Cafe. I would say that the food is top notch. The food tasted really good and the salt level was very regulated. The portion sizes were just nice and each of the curries and starters was so good. We tried their Rendang curry, Tomato pasta, Vietnamese roll, Satay on one day. We had Veggie curry rice, pasta and Butter cream mushroom on another day. The service crew were very attentive to our needs and the food was served quite fast. Highly recommended for those looking for vegetarian options in Melaka. Special mention to KOKO..

Had a very late lunch here and we were impressed by how quickly the food was served. It’s a vegetarian café, but the flavours are really good — fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. We ordered Blue Pea Nasi Lemak, Kangkung Fried Rice 👍, Cantonese Misua 👍, Botanist Curry Ramen 👍, Lontong, Vietnamese Spring Roll 👍, Butter Creamy Mushroom, Rujak & Fruit Rujak 👍. A nice place for families or groups to dine in. 💚

Took a grab to come here. I’m vegan and they had plenty of options. They also changed ramen noodles in a dish for rice noodles as I am gluten free which is appreciated. The food tasted very healthy and had interesting flavor. I especially like the desert I had (soy milk with the rice balls that have sweet filling, don’t remember the name) and also the satay was very unique (never had anything quite like that before). Overall recommend and feel it was worth it for the price.

Botanist Veggie Cafe in Malacca offers a calm, beautifully lit space that immediately sets a relaxed tone for dining. The environment feels thoughtful and composed, and the menu is clearly presented with care. Food presentation across the board is clean and intentional. While our server appeared to be new and relied mainly on pointing out best sellers, the overall service experience remained pleasant. One detail that stood out and deserves real appreciation is the café’s menu statement. No MSG, no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, and no microwaves. That level of commitment to conscious cooking is rare and commendable. I ordered the Brown Rice Nasi Lemak without the egg. The presentation was elegant and inviting. The vegetables were nicely blanched, though they could have benefited from a bit more seasoning. A more generous portion of the rendang-style sauce would have elevated the dish significantly, as the rendang itself delivered the deepest and most satisfying flavor on the plate. The dumpling soup was a highlight. Fresh, flavorful, and comforting, it was devoured with genuine delight. Overall, this was an enjoyable dinner with clear strengths and a few areas for refinement. Botanist Veggie Cafe delivers a thoughtful, wholesome dining experience and earns a solid 4.5-star rating. I am a traveling plant-based chef specializing in food science and flavorology.

Thank you for the delicious vegetarian food in this unfamiliar state. I especially loved the green potted plants outside and the interior designing. The owner thoughtfully opened two shops to accommodate more people at all times. The food was indeed excellent.

Food and service was amazing. Very authentic and flavorful. Loved the lemongrass ginger tea especially. Kaya toast was great too.
