The Butcher’s Daughter Venice is a plant-forward restaurant, bar, juicery, and “vegetable slaughterhouse.” Located in the vibrant Venice neighborhood, we treat fruits and vegetables with the same care a butcher would meat: chopping, filleting, and carving fresh produce into healthy vegetarian dishes and pressing them into vibrant juices.

Under the guidance of our Culinary Director Richard Rea, our menu changes every season, offering 100% vegetarian dishes with many vegan and gluten-free options. We take pride in our great selection of wines, craft cocktails, and mocktails, ensuring there’s something for every taste. We also offer take-out and delivery for those who prefer to enjoy our meals at home.

Named one of the best supper spots in Venice by the LA Times, we serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, creating a celebrated dining experience with in-season ingredients that nourish both body and soul.

    The service was great my friend and I grabbed a few drinks and an appetizer, and then we left to a place with meat because the name of this place had us presume there was steak on the menu LOL otherwise it was good

    This is a lovely vegetarian restaurant with a great ambiance. My only gripe was around a dish I requested that had mushrooms in. When I ordered I requested they be removed as I really dislike them. When the food arrived the server said “ breakfast without mushrooms….but sorry we couldn’t remove them?” Why wasn’t I told this when I ordered the dish? I might have chosen an alternative dish on the menu?! The server didn’t seem to care at all and seemed annoyed when I asked for a dish to put the mushrooms in as I removed them from my food. We’ve eaten here a few times and this is the first time we’ve had an issue.

    Overpriced drinks and underwhelming food proportions. Their green Regina tastes more like green goddess,absolutely no sesame flavor. This place is overrated.

    I have been to both Venice and WeHo locations. Both have a lovely aesthetic. This most recent visit, on Venice, was relaxed and we had yummy food. We had to wait a bit for our table so they gave us a free juice flight. The Passionfruit juice was my favorite but a lot of good ones! I had the Butchers Burger, and was surprised how tasty it was. Also at the table was the grain bowl, daily soup and kale salad. All were good!

    A Bittersweet Dinner at the Butcher's Daughter On Halloween evening, October 31, 2024, at approximately 5:30 PM, I visited the Butcher’s Daughter in Venice, California, a restaurant I've long admired for its innovative plant-based cuisine. I had been particularly eager to savor their renowned vegan Cauliflower Steak. In anticipation of my visit, I even took the extra step of messaging the restaurant through OpenTable to confirm its availability. While they did not respond, I remained hopeful. Upon arriving, I was extremely disappointed, disheartened, and saddened to discover that the Cauliflower Steak had been removed from the menu. It was a huge disappointment! Despite this setback, the staff at the Butcher’s Daughter, for instance, my server Marian B., did a good job. I want to especially give a special shoutout to Ashlee, the manager. Ashlee was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. She truly is an asset to the restaurant. Ashlee expressed sincere apologies for the menu change and recommended the Fall Vegetable Yellow Curry, a delightful dish featuring fried tofu, forbidden rice, salsify, brussels sprouts, and squash. The tofu was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. The sweetness of the squash balanced the earthy flavors of the salsify, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and textures. I must say, this dish was a pleasant surprise and has now become one of my favorites. I likely wouldn't have tried it had it not been for the absence of the Cauliflower Steak. The vegan Daily Soup, a seasonal market vegetable soup served with toasted sourdough bread, was also a comforting and flavorful choice. To round out the meal, I indulged in the vegan Sweet Potato Pizza, topped with a creamy cashew ricotta and crispy Brussels sprouts. The spiciness of the chili added a delightful kick to the sweet potato, and the creamy cashew ricotta provided a rich and satisfying contrast. While the food was delicious, the absence of
