Le Botaniste

Le Botaniste feels like a breath of fresh air for celiacs searching for wholesome, plant-based food with a strong gluten-free focus. While not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, they’re remarkably transparent: nearly everything on the menu is naturally gluten-free (with clear exceptions for pasta and beer), allergens are labeled, and staff are trained to handle allergy questions—honestly, that’s more than you get at most places. Still, there’s an ever-present cross-contamination risk since they don’t guarantee a 100% GF environment, but the care shown in labeling and staff training means you can actually have a real conversation about your safety. If you’ve ever felt anxious eating out, you’ll appreciate how much easier it is to breathe here—just remember to communicate your needs clearly.
