The team behind one of Vegas’ most impressive plant-based restaurants just launched something new. Butterface, the Italian-inspired brunch spot from Modern Vegan creator Gia Schultz, is now open and serving up morning dishes that rival anything on the Strip.
What Makes Butterface Special
Located in the same plaza that houses The Modern Vegan, Butterface takes a completely different culinary direction. This isn’t your standard eggs-and-bacon joint. We’re talking lemon ricotta bucatini for breakfast, lobster ravioli that melts on your tongue, and Italian-inspired plates that feel both indulgent and refined.
The space itself is gorgeous. Fresh, modern, and Instagram-ready without trying too hard. If you’ve been to The Modern Vegan and loved the vibe, Butterface carries that same attention to detail. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to linger over your morning coffee.
Why You Need to Try This
Here’s what I love about this team: they consistently deliver massive portions of great food without cutting corners on quality. The Modern Vegan blew my mind with their Mac Attack burger. Honestly one of the best burgers I’ve tried in Vegas, and I couldn’t even tell it was plant-based. That same care has clearly carried over to Butterface.
Whether you’re a local hunting for a new brunch rotation spot or visiting and want something beyond the typical casino breakfast buffet, this place deserves your attention.
