Haute Couture Dining

Forming a new heart in the Village of Oak Creek, Butterfly Burger is a celebration of Chef Lisa Dahl’s passion for the dining experience. The result is something unique in Sedona, A Couture Burger Lounge. While her contemporaries are fashioning fast-casual burger diners, Butterfly Burger is reveling in low-lite glamour and an unabashed cocktail lounge look and feel.

Dahl set out to create a warm and welcoming destination, delivering elegance and excellence. The subtle details of the design will not be lost on discerning guests. The blacked-out entrance doors are flanked by topiaries and boxwood hedges. Black walls covered in rough-hewn planks of mushroom wood set the tone. The dark, sultry lighting builds the mood and complements the amber glow from the bar's rose-gold mirrors. Dark cobblestone is underfoot, and it wraps around the bronze butterfly inlaid at the entrance. Fine jazz bathes guests as the hum of quiet conversations ignite the lounge-style experience.

The Meat of the Matter

Chef Dahl’s three Burger Battle Championship burgers lead the mouth-watering menu. From classic to extravagant, the menu features more than a dozen signature burgers, including those that have taken home top honors at the Scottsdale Burger Battle three years running. A couple of the brand-new standouts that are making their debut at the restaurant include the name-sake, The Butterfly Burger, manchego cheese, all-natural pepper bacon, guacamole and chipotle aioli on an artisan bun and Oui Oui Monsieur!, a patty melt-style burger smothered in charred onions, Gruyere cheese and Dijonnaise sauce on grilled caraway rye bread served with a side of onion jus dipping sauce. Award-winning burgers that have earned Dahl her “burger master” reputation also grace the menu, including Funghi Sublime, smothered in sautéed mushrooms and finished with imported truffle gouda and special Dijonnaise on an artisan bun; the Gringo Burger, white aged cheddar, louis remoulade sauce, shredded romaine and crispy onion strings on an artisan bun; and The Waco Kid, white aged cheddar, 4 Roses Bourbon with maple caramelized onion, all-natural bacon confiture and Dijon sauce on an artisan bun.

Where's the Beef?

Vegans, vegetarians and pescetarians can revel with their carnivorous friends. Vegan and vegetarian options include our Primo Portobello tantalizing house-marinated grilled portobello mushroom, finished with caramelized balsamic onions, manchego and chipotle aioli on a whole grain bun. Any Dahl restaurant loyalist will also notice her iconic, The Hipster Burger, a vegan’s dream made from lentil-walnut sofrito, finished with oven-roasted Campari tomato jam and pimenton aioli on a whole-grain bun. Fun fact, The Hipster was the first meat-alternative burger Dahl ever created as a vegetarian teenager.

"We wouldn’t be a Burger place for all if we just made burgers for carnivores." "I crave our Veggie Burgers. When my father Herb, one of the biggest meat lovers on the planet first tried my Primo Portobello with caramelized onions and chipotle aioli on grilled ciabatta and said, that just might be the best burger I have ever had! Quite honestly...I nearly fainted! But, at the same time, I knew I had something very special." - Chef Lisa Dahl
