Botanica Restaurant & Market Colorful, creative, feel-good food. Vegetables, cocktails, natural wine & good times at Botanica Res
(235)

Botanica opened in 2017 as a home for seasonal, Southern California cooking, with a focus on the products of regenerative agriculture, sustainable seafood and responsible animal husbandry. We believe that cooking should be vibrant, exciting and produce-centric; that wine should be natural; and that hospitality should be nourishing. Our goal in the kitchen is to use beautiful local produce and thou

ghtfully sourced products to create food that is vibrant, exciting and nourishing. Our goal for our restaurant is to care for our community by creating a business that aims to respect, support, delight and nourish all those it impacts. Our coffee counter and bakery serve Canyon Coffee and house-made pastries and sweets. Our market sells natural wine, craft beer and zero-proof drinks, along with exceptional culinary goods from small, mostly California-based, women-owned businesses. We hope you’ll come visit our bright, lush, delicious little corner of Silver Lake! Botanica is owned by Heather Sperling & Emily fiffer, two former food writers/editors and lifelong cooks who opened their sustainability- and community-focused restaurant and market in 2017.

In one of those lovely moments of community generosity, reed calder offered to make a short video about Botanica right before we turned 9 this spring — to capture some moments from the restaurant, along with Heather Sperling’s musings on community and purpose. In our 9th year, it’s abundantly clear that this is a business that exists to take care of people — staff, farmers, purveyors, vendors, winemakers, neighbors, guests. To borrow a phrase from our pal Satya: Food is the model, community is the mission. ❤️
