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.

We take pride in our great selection of wines, craft cocktails, and mocktails, ensuring there’s something for every taste.

    Pasjolie is an excellent prix-fixe restaurant with two menu choices each evening. There is a limited list of wines by the glass -- and they are expensive -- but it doesn't matter because the list is all excellent. This is an exceptionally good restaurant with innovative Michelin star-caliber food and elegant presentation. The service is attentive and efficient. My wife and I were trying to figure out if our investment income is sufficient to allow us to visit once a month; it was that good. In terms of value for price, it is definitely worth it.

    Great service, food was very good. A bit pricey, with one of those annoying 3% "benefits" surcharges. Our waiter did confirm the restaurant provides health coverage. But no other benefits. Lovely semi-outdoor patio. Great place when you want atmosphere, service and the ability to socialize with your companions.

    Like always top notch. We with my cousin and her best friend from visiting from Canada and I asked for a table by the balcony and they were able to accommodate us perfectly. We had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic view. You can’t go wrong with Élephante. Outstanding!

    The Rose has become one of our favorite places to go from the greeting, warm and inviting, (especially if you’re lucky to be greeted by Elliott), to the wait service that continues the positive attitude that makes you feel like family. The meal choices are so varied that all tastes can be satisfied. The food is truly delicious and presented in an appetizing way. The the home made desserts are not to be skipped!
