EYV Restaurant

What EYV Restaurant does

EYV Restaurant (legal entity: EYV Hospitality, also known as "Eat Your Veggies Restaurant") is a single-location, veggie-forward fine dining establishment operating at 424 East Ohio Street on Pittsburgh's North Side. Founded in 2023 by Chef Michael Godlewski, the restaurant positions vegetables as the central ingredient rather than as a side or substitute, sourcing produce from local farms across Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. The core offering is a 3-course Pre Fixe menu priced at $50 per person, complemented by a premium 8-course Chef's Counter tasting menu at $150 per person (plus 20% gratuity and optional $60 wine pairing), which runs as a single 6:00 PM seating for up to five guests and provides a direct view into the kitchen. The restaurant also offers a la carte bar dining with a full cocktail and wine program, private event catering, and a small branded merchandise line.

The business operates as a privately held, owner-operated independent restaurant with no institutional investors or parent company identified; the only recorded capital event is a $47,450 funding round dated 2022-12-13 from unknown investors. Operating hours are Wednesday through Saturday evenings only (closed Sun–Tue), and revenue is generated almost entirely through in-person dining, supplemented by merchandise sales through the company website. The technology stack is comprised of standard restaurant SaaS tools: Popmenu powers the website and menu presentation, Tock/Explore handles reservations with deposit collection to mitigate no-shows, and Toast Tab distributes digital gift cards. Marketing relies on press coverage in outlets including Pittsburgh Magazine, Eater D.C., and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, along with customer review solicitation and word-of-mouth. The restaurant has accumulated three consecutive years of editorial recognition — Best New Restaurants 2023 (Pittsburgh Magazine and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Eater D.C.'s 38 Essential Restaurants 2024, and Pittsburgh Magazine's Top 26 Restaurants 2025.
