About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Fancy
  • Neighborhood gem
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 $140 per person (limited quantities available). The whole party must enjoy the tasting menu and wine pairings are available for $90 per person. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the restaurant at 323-946-7500.

    MICHELIN 1 Star2023

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.

    Leider wurden unsere Erwartungen an ein Sternelokal nicht ganz erfüllt. Das Essen war sehr gut, aber nicht „outstanding“. Die angebotenen Weine sind dem Preisniveau nicht angemessen. Der Service ist ausgesprochen freundlich und zuvorkommend.

    For the sticker price and accolades …. I was most disappointed by the fact that the cocktails are not scratch made. The bartenders lacked experience and flexibility in making my a drink I actually want. We needed up getting two cocktails off their menu filled with pre batched drinks and both were subpar. The food was alright … compared to all the fine dining I’ve had the pleasure of eating, this one is at the bottom of the list

    The complimentary bread is excellent ,can’t get enough of it. The steak was well seasoned and extremely tender for it being a newyork steak. The duck fat potato’s was the star of the show with strong flavors intense yet fresh rosemary flavors and leaves a clean taste without feeling greasy and heavy

    Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and had the most spectacular experience from beginning to end! The drinks were great, and food FANTASTIC. The appetizers and shareables were so good and well prepared, and so was the bread!! We had to stop ourselves from inhaling it all so we can enjoy the delicious ribeye that was cooked perfectly. To tie it all together, our waitress Erica was truly a gem, and the sommelier Courtney just as lovely. Thank you, Gwen team, for the fun and memorable experience!

    Staying at Gwen is one of the most does when you are in Los Angeles. From begining to the end they even look after the smalest detail such as cleaning the table before each course and letting you chose your own knife. Each meal was prepared with the highest quality! Again thank you for this wonderful experience! We will definitly come back from switzerland to visit you again!
