Belcampo Meat Co.

Belcampo Meat Co. occupies an interesting space in LA’s dining landscape—it’s a place that takes meat seriously while also caring deeply about where that meat comes from. Walk past the butcher counter at the front and through the door to the left to find a comfortable, windowless dining room that manages to feel both casual and refined enough to impress your parents.

The menu reads like a greatest hits of bistro classics, starting with tartares and charcuterie before moving on to burgers, grilled chicken, and an impressive selection of steaks. The Belcampo Burger is a standout—satisfying without being over-the-top indulgent. The lamb tartare might sound adventurous, but the Indian-inspired flavors and crispy papadum make it surprisingly approachable and completely addictive. For heartier appetites, the steak frites delivers exactly what you’d hope: beautifully cooked beef, crispy fries, and a generous amount of béarnaise butter.

The experience here is decidedly upscale, reflected in both the polished service and the prices. Ordering a steak means your knife arrives in its own leather sheath, adding a touch of drama to the meal. You can keep things more modest with just a burger and beer, though even that will run you around thirty dollars. The commitment to humanely raised animals doesn’t come cheap.

Whether you’re looking for a spot to celebrate a special occasion or simply craving high-quality meat in a welcoming atmosphere, Belcampo delivers. It’s the kind of neighborhood restaurant that makes you feel good about what you’re eating—both on the plate and in principle.
