Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant is the second restaurant from fine dining chef Curtis Stone (of Maude) and the first he’s opened with his brother Luke Stone. Gwen is both a European-style, chef-driven butcher shop and a restaurant that is redefining dining in LA, with a menu that calls on fire-based cooking techniques. Whether you’re picking up house-made charcuterie, prime and rare breed meats from the retail store, enjoying a feast in the dining room or relaxing with a bite and cocktail at the bar, Gwen delivers the highest standards of quality, taste and service.

On Wednesdays-Sundays, we offer Chef's Carte Blanche 5-course tasting menu for $130 per person (limited quantities available). The whole party must enjoy the tasting menu and wine pairings are available for $75 per person. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the restaurant at 323-946-7500.

    MICHELIN 1 Star

    2023

From the OpenTable editors: Part high-end butcher shop, part steakhouse, Gwen is the brainchild of Curtis Stone and his brother Luke Stone. The MICHELIN-Starred experience is a celebration of all things meat: The dramatic dining room is surrounded by glass-enclosed dry-age rooms and a central fire pit. Expect housemade charcuterie, pasta with bacon Bolognese, and impressive steaks like a 30-day aged Creekstone Farm ribeye.

    Wagyu beef excellent, chicken liver pate excellent value for money appalling Portions tiny, said it was family style but absolutely not. Tiny portions of vegetables No greens at all to order The black truffle spaghetti was only 4 tiny bites altogether Fish was about 3-4 ounces not even enough for one person, though was delicious Rib eye had big chunks of fat No options for dietary restrictions Was told chocolate cake was gluten free, then found out it was not Altogether an extremely expensive meal, well over $200 per person with small amount of alcohol and everybody left hungry

    Phenomenal food and service. Beautiful restaurant with nicely spaced tables. Expensive - but the quality of the ingredients, preparation, and flawless friendly service makes it worth the splurge.

    Chef’s kisses all the way around. It was very enjoyable experience in every way and everyone there was great. Which made everything about it from the service, which was excellent, to the food that was heavenly. And even the water selections menu is a really nice touch. Well done!

    My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary here. The staff was wonderful and helpful, the food was absolutely spectacular! We got the tasting menu and everything exceeded our expectations. This restaurant has definitely ruined any chance of us enjoying food from anywhere else.

    The menu doesn’t describe the USDA grade on the steaks. I asked the server and he said all of the steaks are Prime so we ordered the 36 oz. ribeye dry aged 30 days and it wasn’t Prime. I’m pretty sure it’s USDA Choice and didn’t have 30 days age either. The whole meal was good but not great. The server was wonderful.

    Blown away by yet another incredible meal by Gwen, and so many amazing treasures we took home from the case in the front.

    Food seemed to be overly salted across the board. Bread and butter were the star dishes which is surprising. Service was slow, reservation was at 7:45 and we didn’t leave until about 10. Seats are slightly uncomfortable and lean forward. Drinks were strong which was appreciated but mint seemed to be the only garnish which is odd in a mai tai. Charcuterie was very good, bread and butter were very good, drinks were decent. Steak was underwhelming, desert was a little bland and the lobster rice was wet bordering soupy. All in all I likely wouldn’t sit through the traffic to go back.
