The Butchers Son Salad Restaurant ·$$

This all-vegan delicatessen welcomes you with its humble setting, featuring brick-exposed walls and a warmth-inducing ambiance. The Butcher's Son stands out as a distinctive deli by offering a variety of vegan dishes that cleverly mimic meats and other animal products. Picture dairy-free cheeses and meatballs crafted without any meat. This "vegan butcher's shop" is part of the rapidly growing vegan movement, where you can indulge in deli-style sandwiches generously packed with vegan cheeses and accompanied by select salads. Their elaborate cold case showcases desserts like cupcakes, tarts, pies, and appetizing carrot cakes, while vegan chocolate croissants are perfect for breakfast. Despite its paradoxical menu listing dishes with meat-based ingredients, the actual serving is entirely vegan, featuring near-perfect meat replacements. Conclude your meal with a Cannoli or Turnover boasting delectable pie filling. Additionally, they offer a specially curated kids' menu, where all sandwiches come with a side of pickles and chips.
