Botanica

Tucked along a picturesque stretch of Silverlake Boulevard with a not-so-picturesque parking situation lies the charming all-day restaurant and market, Botanica. Owners Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling opened this neighborhood gem in 2017, which quickly gained acclaim for their seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired dishes crafted from local eggs, fruits, vegetables, and house-made specials such as labneh and spices. Beyond its visually appealing aesthetics, the dishes at Botanica showcase complex compositions, highlighting the creativity beyond just a pretty plate. The plant-filled back-patio seating up to 34 people is an idyllic setting to sip on one of their natural-leaning wines for your next birthday party, team event, or bridal shower. The Botanica team offers to work with you to craft a customized menu and their in-house florist promises to build out bouquets aligned with your event’s vision. Additionally for larger gatherings, the side patio hosts 45 and the interior dining room seats 32.
