    The food was decent but the tables outside are incredibly small and definitely do not fit any more than 1.5 people. Killed the vibe for sure. The strawberry beret drink is tiny for $17 and the mushroom calamari just tasted like fried batter. There were some larger pieces where you could taste the mushroom. The iced chai latte tasted kind of watery to top it off. +1 star for the server who seemed like they were reading our minds when they brought over two things that we wanted but didn’t order.

    After a long day of touring colleges, we found this place for dinner and rushed over because it was very late and they close at 10pm. It’s amazing at how busy it was on a Monday night at 9:30pm which just confirms how good it is. We ordered a few small plates including Cauliflower and roasted potatoes along with a local beer and dinner was just about perfect. The staff is friendly and our waitress was impossibly beautiful but then again, LA is the land of beautiful people. I really appreciate the fact this is a vegetarian restaurant and it proves you can make excellent food without meat. I love to make cauliflower at home but after having it here at the Butchers Daughter, I’m going to modify my recipe. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in the area but I’ll definitely stop here again if given a chance.

    The first time we visited we loved everything (the food, atmosphere, and service). The second time we visited was super disappointing. Our server was pretty good in the beginning and then her service went downhill towards the end. We ordered the country breakfast and the biscuit and sausage were yummy. The eggs were okay and the hash browns were not flavorful. The waffle had a nice lemon flavor, but once it got a cold, it got hard. The majority of the staff was super pleasant (gentlemen behind the bar and near the coffee station). The decor and atmosphere was still beautiful. We would give them one last shot, however, not for breakfast.

    What a charming place to stop for lunch! Such a diverse, fresh, and delicious menu. We ordered lunch to share: crab cake, pad Thai, and pear and onion pizza. Crust is phenomenal. Highly recommend

    I’ve been here twice, and the service was bad (pensé que mejoraría y por eso regresé), the food good, but nothing out of the planet. They have a delicious orange wine. ✨🙌 If you sit outside, you will be waiting a lot, and the waitress will take a long time to take the order, they forget that you are outside. 🫠😅

    Great restaurant by Venice beach. Love the look/feel of the room: open, wood design and plants hanging from the ceiling. Vegetarian options on the menu are very good and make it a healthy meal. The juice flights where you picked four juices from the menu are also a nice touch!

    For an omnivore, I thought this place was really amazing! Thoroughly impressed by the range of flavors. Really well done.

    I already knew that I loved Butchers Daughter for brunch as I have been a number of times in NY. This was my first time there for dinner & it did not disappoint. Absolutely blown away by the flavors & textures. I got the butchers burger & I definitely recommend it. My partner enjoyed his gnocchi & we both started with mushroom calamari.

    A local recommended this to me so obviously I had no choice but to try. Zero regrets. Fabulous location surrounded by a great variety of shopping. Small SMALL glass of wine was $15 which is absurd but other than that, prices are fair IMO. I got the mushroom pizza and sav blanc. SO GOOD. I demolished that whole pizza myself. Staff was great, too! Molly is an excellent server. Would definitely go again & recommend to others. My wait time seemed really lucky - walked up at 3 pm and immediately got the patio seat I wanted. But I imagine there’s usually a wait considering how popular it is - so I’d check before going if I were you.

    Great open feel & vibe inside. Food was awesome. We started with the mushroom calamari, spicy kale ceasar and soup of the day (creamy cauliflower 🔥), and ended the meal with pad thai and the caramelized onion & pear pizza. Everything we had was incredible. HIGHLY recommend.

    The food was delicious, warm, and delivered quickly. The coffee was tasty! The atmosphere is very nice with indoor and outdoor seating options. I sat outside with my dog.

    Wow!! What an amazing experience! As soon as I walked by the entrance the decadence started. Very chic and boho! Inside resembled an old train station coffee stand and the seating was either inside or out on the patio. I started with a flight of juice, 4 cups for $12. I got the red, orange, pure passion and honey bee divine! After the amazing juice in about 3 min flat came a Giant Salad, which was so fresh and amazing. Then Mushroom oyster calamari, and the best zucchini soup I have ever had! The impossible burger was cooked impossibly and the gruyere, caramelized onions and harissa mayo was a complete perfection. Highly tasty, fresh, and flavorful food. 100% Vegetarian

    Great choice for any time of day. Really professional service and food is prepared and plated with care. Lots of seating inside and outside for large and small parties. Suggest that you make reservations. Street parking and meter parking. Great choice for brunch!

    Loved visiting Venice and the cherry on top was The Butcher’s Daughter. I ordered the Spicy Persimmon Margarita, The Best Egg Sandwich, and the Spicy Kale Caesar. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food!

    Went on a date night with my wife and had a great experience. Booked online through the Resy site. Check in was easy and quick. They did check for vaccination cards and all staff wore masks. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The menu was downloaded via QR code which took a minute with the cell reception. The food was amazing. The mushroom calamari tasted just like calamari. The winter grain bowl was fresh and the vegan market pizza had a unique flavor with the caramelized onion, cashew ricotta and rosemary that had me wanting more. The mud wtr latte was just sweet enough and a good compliment to the apple tart and chocolate hazelnut tart which was very rich.

    One of the most happening brunch places I have been to!! Everything over here was soo vibrant, the location, the interior of this place and the crowd!! Food was delicious and yummy. We had their buttermilk scones and jam, the best egg sandwich, Crab cake sandwich, crabcake benedict and pancakes. We also had the mimosa flight which was interesting.

    Cute spot. Vegetarian food, quick service! Update! We had to come back and eat here again and it's always a hip and happening place. Food and service was also amazing! The beet kelp burger was sooo good. My friends enjoyed the pizza as well and the mushroom calamari was the bomb! Dessert was the strawberry crisp and wow it was huge and filling!

    Wasn’t sure what to expect since I knew it was mostly a vegetarian place. Went here for the first time and was impressed with the breakfast burrito. I added chorizo to it and the cabbage on the inside gave it a nice crunch. We sat outside and would definitely go again. Also got their Pumpkin Latte and was pleasantly surprised with it.

    So I have all great things to say about this place! For my first time in Venice Beach it was a great experience. We went for my friends 30th birthday brunch and unbeknownst to us we didn’t know it was a vegetarian restaurant because she thrives off aesthetics but it was a 10 out of 10 on that end and for dining! We had some starters which were the biscuits and mushroom calamari and there were no pictures because we devoured them. The breakfast burritos were delicious and everything pictured matched my sentiments! Other friends ordered pizzas which are not pictured but they enjoyed them as well. I asked for hot sauce which I believe was made in house and it was more on the vinegar end but it’s all preference. The potatoes were well seasoned but to my taste they could’ve been a little more crispy but that didn’t take away from our experience at all. I provided a picture of where we were seated because it was beautiful and perfect for the birthday girl

    Visited for breakfast on a weekday. When arriving, there were a few waitresses around not interested in seating us. We ordered the Butcher's and the farmer's breakfast. One came without sourdough (although it was listed on the menu) and we had to ask for it, the waitress didn't seem very bothered but eventually brought us some bread over after 5 mins of waiting. Food was good but nothing special, service rather slow and unimpressive but the decor and the atmosphere are cool. They have a lot of pastries on offer but we didn't try them.

  • 5/5 Preetika R. 6 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    We come here often - most recently for brunch - and it was delicious!! The spicy kale caesar salad was probably the best caesar salad I've ever had. Buscuits are delicious- layered, flakey, and salted to perfection! Burrito was not as well seasoned as I prefered, but salsa fixed that right up.

  • 5/5 Jimena G. 9 months ago on Google
    My go to place when friends come to town and we walk around Abbot Kinney. Food is always fresh and tasty. Vegetarian menu and vegan options. It’s always good to pair my food with one of their fresh juices or smoothies. Good Italian style pizza!

  • 4/5 Fatemeh R. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there for brunch and we ordered three different meals. I think the food was decent but overpriced. The atmosphere was super nice and may make the money worthwhile for some. A lot of sunlight and pretty colors. The atacado toast was the best among our three choices including the waffle. Coffee was good too.

  • 5/5 Walt W. 4 months ago on Google
    Love this place, one of the better breakfast spots on this amazing street. I had the butchers breakfast, which has an amazing combination of mushrooms, olives, and other scrumptious ingredients, including a roasted tomato. Absolutely delicious.

  • 5/5 Sadie R. 9 months ago on Google
    The vegan pizza had wonderful flavors including lemon, basil, mint, and dill... such a lovely combination. The crab cake had a good little spicy kick. The gnocchi had more mild pesto flavors but we was equally delicious. The pavlova dessert was fruity, sweet, and crunchy and definitely delicious. The paloma mocktail was a great choice. The atmosphere is fun with lots of plants, like a little oasis.

  • 5/5 alexandra a. 1 year ago on Google
    My sandwich was delicious. I got the BLT (pretty sure this was vegan bacon??) either way really enjoyed my meal and the bread was cooked to perfection. Personally, didn’t really enjoy the mango smoother but who got it really enjoyed it, I feel like it was a little too pulpy for my linking

  • 5/5 Debs M. 11 months ago on Google
    What a beautiful eaterie. Very busy but the staff were spot on. We shared a pizza and salad and they were excellent. The restaurant is on a busy street but the screens help with noise levels. Seats inside and out and a quick turnaround so no wait. Hard to decide what to eat as everything looked amazing.

  • 4/5 Michael H. 11 months ago on Google
    Reason for visiting: work outing with coworkers Date/time of visit: Thursday night, ~5:15 PM Parking: street parking; I was able to find street parking near pretty easy (or lucky 😀) in the residential area but can prob get crazy later in the night. Party size: 6 Environment/ambience: we ate outside, near the front entrance. We got generally sized human beings onto 3 small tables. People re always walking by, if you're sitting outside; did not get a chance to go inside but it looks tight/small from the outside. Service: we tried to call to make reservations but couldn't get through. only choice was to sit outside. Service at the restaurant was great. She was cool, chil and came by often. she forgot to bring the check once but it was really busy. she knew once she came back. Food: I am not a vegetarian/vegan. we chose this restaurant for my boss, who's vegetarian. I had the Pad Thai and Michelada (not on the menu; we saw someone else have it and asked). As I said, I'm not vegetarian but the Pad Thai was good. The Michelada was not good but it's prob b/c I'm not used to their style of Michelada 😀 Cost: not sure, boss paid 😀 I would assume $175-$225 with tip

  • 4/5 Iris V. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful ambiance! Love the interior design of the place. Mushroom calamari was a 7/10. Spicy Cesar salad was 10/10!! So good. Spicy Italian pizza was a disappointment, kinda ruined it 😪 lol. Not spicy at all. The Italian sausage tasted like soy chorizo and i couldn’t taste the base(sauce) at all. Asked for some hot sauce and that made it slightly better. Cool place to visit.

  • 4/5 Nikki M. 10 months ago on Google
    Pretty decent place with decent variety of vegetation and vegan options. However I feel it’s not “$$” , it defiantly on the pricier end. Service : Excellent Food : Average Price : $$$ Location : Excellent Parking : by the streets A lot of cute place around and 10 min walk to Venice beach.

  • 4/5 Marie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful! Super fun atmosphere, very California vibe. Menu was intriguing, too many options we wanted to try! While we didn’t get any cocktails they seemed quite interesting. Food was very fresh and tasty!! The Surfers Burrito was filling - the salsa was delicious! The frittata was light but also filling.

  • 5/5 Zan L. 1 year ago on Google
    First started in New York City in 2010, and then opened in LA in 2015, I have known about the Butcher’s Daughter for a number of years as a casual and tasty vegetarian breakfast and dinner option, and tonight I found out that was true for myself. There are two locations in Los Angeles, this one in Venice, and the other in West Hollywood, but I chose the Venice location because it’s been around longer and it’s closer to the water. Parking was extremely easy tonight for a 6:30 PM Sunday dinner. I was able to park literally right across the street in non-metered parking. That would not be possible in West Hollywood. As mentioned, it’s very casual, but well done on the inside. Our server was very polite and there are a lot of great options on the menu. I started off with the Water Flower cold pressed juice and really enjoyed it. Tastes like watermelon with a hint of lavender and was very refreshing tonight. I then started off with the Avocado and Pomegranate Salad, and although I wish there was more avocado and more dressing, it was still very good as expected. For my entrée, I chose the Impossible Burger, and it was my favorite part of the meal. The brioche bun really made it and overall it was delicious. They were only two downsides to the meal tonight. They brought my salad and burger at the same time so that made eating the appetizer first impossible. I don’t like to eat two dishes at the same time, especially when one is hot and the other is cold. The other negative was that when it came time to pay the bill our server brought over the electronic check, took the credit card and then you had to select the tip and sign right in front of him. In my experience usually they leave the machine at the table and then come back for it after it’s done. That is my preference and what they usually do on the East Coast as well. Overall a really nice vegetarian restaurant with fair pricing and a lot of options. In the future, I will try the West Hollywood location to see if it is any different, but this would definitely be somewhere that I would repeat in the future.

    I came here with a friend without a reservation and immediately got a barrel and two stools to sit around. Can't complain, the place was buzzing!! The host was very kind and did offer us better seating later but we were kinda lazy to switch now We ordered a mule, rose cardamom latte, a mushroom pizza and a matcha chocolate cake. The mule authentically was served in a metal cup which was indeed very nice! The latte personally was not the best I had or even on a better list, I wouldn't get it. It just sounds fancy. The pizza though fresh lacked flavor and felt very basic and hard to chew! The chocolate cake did not seem to be fresh and the matcha cream was way too sweet offsetting the chocolate flavor. It's a nice buzzing place to bring a date but high expectations are prohibited.

  • 4/5 Sofia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cute vegetarian/vegan restaurant! We somehow got sat right away which was awesome and our food came out quick! The country breakfast and blt were super yummy. Some of us subbed tofu in place of eggs and it wasn’t seasoned which was unfortunate and the servers could have been friendlier but other than that food was great.

  • 3/5 Naomi L. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited for a weekday brunch with two others and we had wonderful service from Billie! Everyone enjoyed their dishes but I was a bit unfortunate as I found a hair on my plate (vegan lemon waffles). The staff replaced this without any hesitation but as my guests has finished their dishes before mine arrived, I asked for it to be put in a takeaway box. I didn’t know the Chantilly cream was put next to the hot lemon waffles so when I got home it was a puddle so I couldn’t enjoy it as planned.

  • 5/5 Luca P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for breakfast, I went back two days in a row. The staff was supper nice, everyone was friendly. They had an excellent self of vegetarian breakfast food. I especially liked the vegan breakfast sausages and the lemon waffles. Not a huge amount of vegan options, most of the items had eggs. The pastries were also very good. My friend had a matcha scone, and while a bit suspicious at first really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend for an easy venice beach breakfast.

  • 5/5 Kayla J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite spots to grab brunch in LA is the butchers daughter. I love their omelet & their pancakes! The ambiance is great, abbot Kinney is my favorite street in LA. They have a lot of interesting options for food & drink. Really nice staff, i had a great experience!

  • 5/5 Melissa C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous! The food was super healthy + delicious! All the staff were kind and attentive. The natural light makes the ambience vibrationally elevated.- yet, relaxed. Overall this is an excellent place to have brunch. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Jasmine C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing! We got a recommendation from an LA local we met on our flight, who had wonderful things to say. My sisters both have a lot of allergy restrictions and have a hard time going out to eat. Our server (whose name I unfortunately forgot. Young, brown hair, super nice and wonderful. She deserves all the praise!) went above and waaay beyond to make sure our meal was free of any allergy triggers. Before my sisters were even able to inquire about ingredients, she asked “any allergies here?” and continued to guide them through the menu and found them both the perfect meal. She even called the distributor to find the ingredients in the vegan ice cream they offer. The food was fantastic. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will come back when we are in LA again!

  • 4/5 Rajesh M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has good options for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free options as well. I got the Butcher's burger for mains and it was good. The ambiance was very sweet. You might even bump into celebrities like we did

  • 5/5 sophie m. 2 years ago on Google
    Great ambiance, delicious vegetarian meals. Would definitely come here again! We had the impossible burger and breakfast burrito. Their green salsa paired really well with the burrito.

  • 5/5 Michelle Z. 2 years ago on Google
    All right, so this review is technically a long time coming. I've been coming here for way too many years to have never reviewed this place. The Butcher's Daughter is by far one of my favorite restaurants in all of Los Angeles county. What you'll find here is friendly employees, knowledgeable bartenders and refreshingly unique food items. Yes, I understand that the menu is entirely vegetarian, however, I promise you even if you're a carnivore you would thoroughly enjoy your time here. I feel as though every time I come here it's like coming home. Everything from the aesthetic to the seasonal menu makes it feel fresh and new every time I come. My go-to favorite item is their "Dolce Picante Pizza". I've had it way more than once with multiple varieties. This current season instead of pears the fruit is peaches. This flat bread pairs beautifully with the "Green Party Cocktail". The cocktail is wonderfully smoky and woody from the rye whiskey but then the perfect amount of fruity and floral from the elderflower. So if you're going to go with this unique Pizza, I would highly recommend it. Anyway, if you're trying to find a place where you can get fresh phenomenal food, I would urge you to check it out.

    Had my mom out to visit and had to take her here! Yummy, cute spot. It is a little bit overpriced but it is worth a visit once in awhile!
