Botanica Deli

The lucky folks of Bangsar South get a new sandwich/salad deli in the form of Botanica Deli at the shiny new Vertical Podium. The Botanica team got the recipe right – a sunlit space complete with white tiles and timber features, lots of plants, warm soup (on our visit, it was lotus root, pumpkin soup and minestrone), trays of salad ingredients (think edamame, grapes, pumpkin, candied pecans, etc) where you can either customise your own salad or pick a ‘crafted’ salad or sandwich, and friendly service to boot. There will be a botanical-inspired restaurant and bar called Botanica & Co by the same team opening next door, and expansion plans are in the pipeline.
