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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Curtis Stone

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.

We visited Gwen for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary and chose the Chef’s Carte Blanche experience at the chef’s counter. The atmosphere was elegant, the food was outstanding, and the attention from both the chefs and service staff made it truly unforgettable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Had an amazing experience here. The food was incredible and the service from Erika was even better. She was sweet, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The charcuterie was one of my favorites along with the chicken liver mousse. We ordered so much food and we are so glad we got to try most of it. Erika recommended the velvet bee for my cocktail and wow, was it tasty! So were rest of the cocktails we tried but this stood out to me. Overall, our whole group had a fantastic experience and there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like. Thank you!

Gwen was everything we were looking for in fine dining. We stumbled upon meeting the chef (Curtis, thank you). The experience was great from picking our knife to eating desert.
