The Butcher's Daughter

I had yet another wonderful meal at a the butcher’s daughter’s! This was my first visit at the West Hollywood location, and it was a wonderful experience! I was greeted by a wonderful host named Taylor! He was so lovely and kind and had the most beautiful eyes. Our waitress Jasmine was also amazing. I highly recommend trying anything on the menu. Also ask the servers for recommendations if you’re unsure every location I’ve been to including Venice and New York City has been a wonderful experience shout out to Taylor and Jasmine again for making it that much better.

Time to treat yourself and enjoy a delightful and well prepared meatless menu, paired with delicious cocktails (like this spicy margarita) in a relaxing and eye pleasing interior design. The staff is absolutely fantastic, welcoming and helpful, each plates comes in less than 15 minutes and everything we tried was just better than expected . Let’s say it’s a 6 star spot !

My husband and I recently visited West Hollywood on vacation and decided to give the butchers daughter a try after seeing a lot of recommendations online for them. Turned out to be our favorite place we ate at while in town! Living in Kansas we don’t have many fully vegetarian/vegan restaurants so it was super nice to be able to sit down and order anything off of the menu that I wanted for once. The food was so delicious and the drinks were phenomenal. Service was great too. If we ever visit again we will absolutely be making a stop back and highly recommend anyone who’s looking through their reviews now to give them a try as well! :)

Love this place. The food and the atmosphere are perfect for a girls brunch. We sat in the outdoor patio and had a lovely brunch. Highly recommend the cardamom rose latte, and the coconut yogurt bowl. They also have a kids menu :)

The food is AMAZING. We devoured the lemon lavender waffle and the Mediterranean falafel, as well as our juices! Love the décor and ambience, and the staff was so warm and welcoming. Great service, delicious food, good energy… what more could we ask for?

I visited The Butcher’s Daughter on Melrose with high expectations, given its reputation for serving clean, thoughtful, and good quality food. Unfortunately, my experience was nothing short of disappointing and concerning, especially considering the specific reasons I chose this restaurant. I arrived for a late lunch to meet a friend from New York, both of us being long-time vegans and working in the fashion industry. The moment was meant to be special as my friend introduced me to her six-month-old baby. However, the experience quickly soured when the waiter, a middle-aged man whose name I can’t recall, began pressing us to order almost immediately. I requested more time, but when I finally placed my order, what followed was a series of mishaps that left me questioning the standards of this establishment. I ordered the Mediterranean breakfast, and to my dismay, the plate arrived with no regard for the fact that I have a garlic and onion allergy—a dietary restriction I take very seriously. The waiter never asked if I had any allergies, which is a basic expectation, especially at a vegetarian/vegan restaurant where people often dine specifically because of such restrictions. When I began eating, I found that the cucumber salad under my eggs was not just cucumber, but rather pickled cucumber with an overwhelming amount of pickled onions—about 60% onions and 40% cucumbers. This was never mentioned on the menu. Also their tahini tasted old and like fermented, cheese like, really disgusting. And not proper to human consumption in my opinion… and I cook tahini all the time. When I pointed out the issue to the waiter, he responded with a rather lackluster apology, admitting that the dish was indeed “fully onion” and asked if I wanted to order something else. Under the assumption that my original dish would be replaced or canceled, I reluctantly agreed to order the avocado toast. The waiter kindly brought it out and even offered two drink tokens, which I politely declined since I don’t drink alcohol. However, what arrived was far from what the menu described: a plain slice of bread with avocado, lacking any salsa, sauce, arugula, or anything else listed. It was an insult to be served something so basic and uninspired, especially for $18. Adding to the disappointment, when I requested olive oil from another staff member, I was brought what was later confirmed by the manager to be canola oil, despite the waiter mistakenly assuring me it was 100% pure olive oil. As someone who is half North African, with deep roots in Tunisian culinary traditions, I can confidently say that the tahini served with the initial dish was also of very poor quality, tasting oddly like cheese and unfit for consumption. When it came time to pay, the first dish was still on my check. I realized it after paying and tipping. The manager was called and m reluctant to refund me for it, and only after much discussion did she finally agree. The entire experience was a glaring failure in both service and quality control, which is particularly alarming for a restaurant that markets itself as a place for mindful and healthy eating. In conclusion, this location on Melrose is a place I cannot, in good conscience, recommend to anyone who values quality food and thoughtful service. My experience was far below the standard they claim to uphold, and it left me questioning the integrity of the entire establishment. If you have dietary restrictions, or simply expect to receive what you’re promised on the menu, I advise you to look elsewhere, because as you may know a lot of customers in vegan vegetarian restaurants have dietary restrictions. And having a clear detailed menu would simplify it, if your policy is (like they mentioned) to not ask for allergies. ***UPDATE AFTER REPLY OF MANAGER*** The oil that I took a picture of was the one I got served as a side and I can assure you for your continuous learning and education, that this was not pure olive oil AT ALL. My bill and had indeed to suffer to make it happen… And garlic wasn’t noted as an allergy for the olives

This was my second time here. Had an amazing burger for lunch the other day and tonight’s dinner was so very delicious! Our server, Rachel, sure was right on about how amazing the pizza is! Definitely coming back!!!

The food was delicious. We're vegan and there are plenty of options. The lemon lavender waffles were divine. The falafel was also next level. All the staff was gray, helpful when we needed something but not overbearing.
