Butterleaf is plant-based cuisine for people who like to eat. Seasonal vegetables take a bountiful center stage at Chef Andrew Gruel's 3rd bold, new food concept (Prev Slapfish and Two Birds).

At Butterleaf, a rotating variety of vegetables make for hearty dishes, leaving you satisfied and full without the guilt.
