Botanica

If you live outside Brisbane it’s likely you haven’t yet heard of Botanica, but you will soon. The appeal is that they’re kind of the Aesop of salads. They’re these cool little shops with a fairly permanent line outside each one, and they do takeaway vegetarian salads ($12.60 for a small box with three flavours at the time of writing). Get the raw broccoli salad, which comes in thin slices drizzled in garlic cashew cream. Or the freekeh salad with roasted eggplant, prunes, mint, and almonds coated in turmeric cashew cream. There’s also baked cakes and brownies. Find Botanica in Red Hill, Hawthorne, Camp Hill, Albion and Teneriffe.
