Botanica - Teneriffe

Introduced to this place a few years ago by a roommate who used to buy a large tub of salads, used it in their lunches throughout the week. It's quite pricey but they pack the container well so can last a week as a side dish. I tried some of their delicious baked goods (the cupcakes are lovely) before transitioning to veganism, so sadly I miss them. I hope they continue to offer vegan baked goods in the future.

It's a takeaway shop and there are no seats inside, but it's not too difficult to find some benches within walking distance. On the day of the visit, the branch on Doggett St (at Fortitude Valley or in the valley) has 5 out of 7-8 options that are vegan. There is also a vegan chocolate brownie. The staff is knowledgeable of who is vegan but it would be better if they were tagged. The small salad box is already filled as it is filled to the brim.

Very yummy take away food! Lots of flavours Would def come back Nice and friendly service

Most salads are vegan, although always good to ask, as staff are obliging and well-versed on their products. Even small serving 12) is generous and definitely more than I could eat as one person(! so great that there is the option to have multiple salads in the one container for variety. Points for their salad container being cardboard and their takeaway carry bags being paper too. Tried their broccoli slaw vegan and thank goodness because it was incredible, delicious and with so much flavour. Also tried a tabbouleh style salad and a grain salad. Both were excellent, lots of variety and flavour and nicely dressed, but really nothing compared to that broccoli slaw. Salads also lasted well through the day in the heat, as we bought them around 10.30 and were carting them around the Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens for a solid 3 hours at least before we ate them, and they kept really well. Can't wait to return!!

Amazing salads, massive portions and all for $12. Had around 6 options and 4 were gluten free...
