Botanica Restaurant & Market

Hey LA! Two days left to stash your freezer with our tomatillo shakshuka via @eatigc! It gets delivered to you in reusable metal containers and can easily be brunch for 4 just bake eggs on top and add garlicky toast on the side. Check out the full lineup of dishes (@laguelaguetza @highlylikelycafe @petitepeso & more!) & order at @eatigc

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY from our women-owned & women-run business. We’re smaller than ever right now, but are more grateful than ever for our lady leadership... and could not be more exited to rebuild (and bring more exceptional women into the fold while doing so)!

Psyched to announce our collab with @eatIGC (launching in LA today!!). We adapted one of our brunch favorites a shakshuka made with heirloom beans, spigarello and feta in vibrant tomatillo salsa to your home freezer! It’s one of our favorite things to serve for a hearty brunch (with eggs baked on top and garlicky toast on the side), but equally marvelous for dinner! Find it for sale, along with dishes from an awesome lineup of LA spots, from www.eatIGC.com. (Quantities a...re limited and on sale for one week only, so snag yours before they’re gone!) Each meal is delivered to your doorstep in an oven-safe, reusable container. Once you're done, @eatIGC picks up your used containers so they can be used again and again. It’s a +1 for the planet, which is something we 100% stand behind. Link to order in our bio. Enjoy!

Just some sprouted purple cauli beauty for you (Find it in our fattoushy & crudités.)

Just some local liquid goldin the market from Sabrina of @shearrockfarms. Her single-varietal oils are our favorite for drizzling, finishing & any dish where the flavor of the oil can really shine through.

We were all set for an extra-special NYE & NYD and then... Covid happened! One of our team received a positive test and we decided to shut down immediately for the safety of our staff. We are a very small business right now down to 10 employees from our pre-Covid 55. For our team to safely quarantine after potential exposure, we have to shut our kitchen which, yes, means ruining NYE dinner plans for dozens of you, and scrapping the NYD brunch our team has worked hard on a...nd looked forward to. Such is life as an independent restaurant owner in the time of Covid. We’ll be back as soon as we safely can. In the interim, please consider donating to @regardingherfood, a non-profit that’s developing a grant program for women-owned restaurants battered by the pandemic. (And if you’re dying for Turkish eggs, the recipe is on BotanicaMag.com ) See more
