Astoria Bistro Botanique

Nice vegan food with a lot of whole food dishes to choose from. Definitely chef-inspired with well thought out flavor profiles. Pricey, so good for special occasions. Also, cafe / bakery attached with delicious baked goods and take-out salads etc. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-18

I had the risotto with "scallops", very beautiful presentation, with little blue flowers decorating. A cocktail, and they used fleurs de sel to rim it, rather than plain salt. And a gorgeous little lemon tart, with meringue, plate beautifully decorated with coulis and more meringue. It was a bit pricey, make sure to check the price tags, but I cant find other faults.

I took the bean burger, it was so DELICIOUS! My spouse who's not vegan took the green curry and he really liked it, the puffed tofu was so much better than regular tofu! Amazing service, got water throughout our whole lunch! My new favorite restaurant!!!

Nicely decorated with a good sized menu featuring lots of options. We came on the weekend so got to take advantage of the brunch menu too. Kid friendly with a kids menu, and a nice takeaway counter including a fridge and freezer section for things for home. Would recommend!

Very courteous and professional staff! Expensive but very worth it.

Just love stoping in wen in town

The food was delicious. Service was fantastic. Bit pricey but worth it. Would 💯 recommend.

Great vegan spot on the other side of the river. Loved the menu options and the cocktail selection. They have a lovely patio too!

Gnocchi was up to standard and they had delicious other plates that were great for sharing

Visited this place and ordered the French Onion Mac N ‘Cheese’. I had never had anything like it and thought it was delicious. I also had the Golden Latte afterwards and enjoyed that. I will return the next time I am in the area.

This busy place is in my top 10 best vegan restaurants worldwide. The food choices and quality, ambience, and service were all top notch. We ate here for brunch and liked it so much we brought a group of nine a few days later and tried almost everything on the menu. All choices were fabulous; the Florentine Benedict was my favorite. No problem swapping a fruit salad for the seitan 'ham'. A separate café is attached to the restaurant. Great to see this place doing so well!

Food was great and the large restaurant was very busy so make a reservation if going at a time that might be busy. We had the kimchi fries with cheese curds which was amazing and a huge portion. We also had a pizza and gnocchi which we took home a lot of because of the fries! The pizza had a bechamel sauce and the gnocchi were perfect.

A pleasantly white and clean restaurant. Friendly servers. Food is good too!

The food was phenomenal. The service, exceptional. You can tell the food is made with love. I had the taco salad, but also tried the green curry. Brunch is served until 2pm. Highly recommend trying this place. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-28

The dishes were well presented. The flavours of the dishes we ordered were well-balanced. The prices were quite affordable if you consider the fact that fast-food costs about the same price. The kimshi poutine was spicy as kimshi is suppose to be. It was not spicy enough to entice me to drink the pitcher of water the waitress had in hand. It was not greasy like non-vegan poutines are. Fhe fries were just crisp; the skin of the fry is crisp while the inside is soft. The vegan cheese used suprised me as it was not to soft but not too hard as some feta false cheeses are. The mushroom pizza was perfectly presented. There were not too much mushrooms but not too little. The cheese was not greasy as some cheeses do on frozen Daiya pizzas. The crust was perfectly baked. The outer layer of the crust was baked to bee crispy on the outside and soft enough to be enjoyable. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-24
