Butterfly

Located atop The Shay and offering panoramic views of Los Angeles, Butterfly is Culver City’s newest rooftop restaurant and bar, helmed by José Andrés Group. Elevated by the rooftop’s embrace, Butterfly’s rosy, lush atmosphere intertwines the vibrant spirit of Mexican mythologies with beloved and familiar flavors. Butterfly’s menu is rooted in tacos and ceviches that feel both timeless and freshly reimagined—think Ahi Ceviche in a maggi-lime marinade with scallions, avocado, toasted pecans, fresno chiles and crispy amaranth; Camarones al mojo with poblano peppers and sweet aged black garlic; and Hongos en Molito tacos with poblanos, Mexican crema, onions and cilantro. Butterfly’s cocktail list leans into additive-free, pollinator-friendly agave spirits imbued with California fruits. To capture the full experience of Butterfly, pair your meal with José Andrés beloved Salt Air Margarita, made with Milagro Silver tequila, Magdala orange liqueur, lime, and its iconic salt foam.
