We visited Botanica after hearing only good reviews about the salads here. This is a small store located off a main road in Red Hill. There is minimum parking along the street abit further down the street and infant of the store. Street parking only, but usually your able to get a park along the street or across the opposite side. For a little store selling fresh made salads and healthy vegan, gluten free deserts, brownies, muffins, they are quit busy. They always have a range of different salads to choose from, all with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available.
We love the selection with lots of fresh veggies and dairy free options for us too Yay!! Your able to mix and max your salads and get a selection of up to 4 different salads in 1 box. We got a selection of 4 different to try and they were all delicious in their own way. We had a fresh broccoli, a couscous salad, a potato salad and carrot based one. They are abit pricey at about $15 or so for a box but they are very dense and really pack the box up. These salads are extremely filling and we would usually have to save our box and eat the rest later as its abit too much to eat in one sitting.
This is a pick up and take away shop set up as there is no seating or tables available to dine in.

My incredible and absolutely delicious lunch.
@botanicarealfood has been on my list for ages now and l finally got a chance to try it. Some of the best salads and quiche l've ever had and of course l had to try their muffins which not only looked amazing but tasted even better.
Beautiful place. I’ve came across this place when I was in the area as it had great reviews and a couple of vegan options 😍 I tried a couple of their vegan salads and they were delicious! I also tried a vegan brownie which was recommended by the very lovely woman behind the counter! I will definitely be back again and have already recommended it to many friends 🤗
The salads here are to die for!!! I'm not a super huge fan of salads, but I do love a good salad and these were one of the best I've ever had in my life! You won't miss the meat when you have these! Also, the servings are massive!!! The small box can feed 2 people for a meal! Even though I have a huge appetite, I couldn't finish it for one meal.
Such a great takeaway concept!! Since moving to the area Botanica has been my go to quick lunch. Such a beautiful shop to walk into, and always greeted with a friendly smile. The staff behind the counter are always happy to list of all the ingredients in each salad to help you decide. And believe me, once you see how many ingredients are in some of the salads, you'll see that's no easy feat! The salad boxes are deceivingly big, as they pack the salads right to the top! No skimping on portion size here. Plus the flavours and variety are amazing! Surely something for everyone.
So where did the delicious salads originate? Botanica. My healthy niece introduced this place to us and so we feasted on barley and pumpkin etc etc. A beautiful fresh cabbage and dill salad. So crisp so fresh so tasty. Not low price but cheap in the long run. Don't hesitate. We often see a queue of twenty somethings waiting for the beautiful food. Money well spent.

The salads here are to die for. Made of wholesome ingredients, they made a great quick healthy lunch!
For the more decadent days, their selection of cakes hit the spot during an afternoon slump!
Quality outfit! Fresh, very healthy salads all day long, nicely packaged up in cardboard, not plastic. The quiches and cakes are also outstanding. Service is mostly very good, the staff seem very well trained and on the same page - very professional affair. This store and their other store at Teneriffe are both super well conceptualised and realised, and have become a staple for me each week - generous serving sizes of consistently top quality, healthy salads. And yes, naughty cakes (which are DELICIOUS) available too - all gluten free I believe. Perfect for lunches, accompaniments for dinners, picnics, or just to take to someone in need of fresh, tasty, healthy goodness. Such an impressive place to have in Brisbane, hurrah Botanica keep it up!
Delicious salads, great variety and very fresh! My only feedback would be great to include a Whole 30 Compliant salad on the menu - grain and dairy free.
