Healthy, detailed & cozy: The Botanista Café Club
Since summer 2021, Pestalozzistraße has been home to a restaurant concept that could well become a personal perennial favorite thanks to its varied menu and great ambience. The only requirement: you have to like healthy dishes.
Everyone will be happy
Your companion is currently trying to cut out carbohydrates? The other one is vegan and someone else doesn't want to miss out on a gin and tonic or dessert? With a visit to the Botanista, you can reconcile all needs and your companions will get their money's worth despite their different tastes.
What's more, you feel at home in the Botanista as soon as you walk through the door: hanging plants in macramé crocheted pots, unplastered walls, industrial charm and lots of wood. With such a beautiful ambience, it's not so bad if the weather is too bad for the equally cozy pub garden.
Breakfast & Brunch
As already mentioned, you can stop by the Botanista from morning to night. For breakfast or brunch, you can look forward to smoothie bowls, banana bread or the cake of the day and much more. Plus point: milk alternatives in your coffee drink don't cost extra. We think that's great!
At the weekend, the menu offers an even larger brunch selection including a Mimosa flat rate as well as a variety of egg dishes (vegan options also available).
Bowls, Pasta & Flat Bread
Flatbreads are the clear flagship and also our recommendation.
Somewhere between pizza and tarte flambée. Kind of like Bavaria - between Italy and Alsace.
These come either with a spelt and rye base or in the low-carb version with a cauliflower base. There are currently five different topping options.
The flatbreads and pasta can be found on the evening menu. For the pasta dishes, you can choose between chickpea noodles, zoodles (zucchinis) or wholemeal spelt fussili. Bowls are also available for lunch. You can customize all dishes and add a (protein) topping of your choice, such as marinated tofu, seitan, prawns, feta or roast beef.
Drinks & Desserts
The "sugar-free" concept makes a difference, especially when it comes to drinks: homemade syrup is used for lemonade and spritz, while their own tonic water and ginger beer are used for alcoholic drinks. Our recommendation: Ginger Spritz or apple-cinnamon lemonade.
Those who are not yet full and have room for dessert can look forward to "The healthiest chocolate sin in the world" - a warm chocolate lava cake. There is also "Deconstructed" cake or the aforementioned banana bread and the Cake of the Day for dessert.
In general, you will find a touch of Australia and influences from hip New York on the menu at the Botanista Café Club. This is not least due to the fact that founder Susanne and founder Max were able to call these places home before settling in Munich a few years ago.
Another tip: you can buy beautiful ceramics and tableware from HK Living in the restaurant. As well as the Botanista house wine, which comes from the Palatinate.
Our conclusion: the Botanista Café Club has so much more to discover than just culinary delights!
