LA’s best brunches
In LA, dining is as much a social experience as it is a culinary one. The hottest eateries are places to see and be seen, where you can perhaps spot celebrities dining with celebrities, and much more.
But a few choice spots in LA still put food first, especially when it comes to that perfect weekend meal – brunch. Sure, there’s still plenty of people-watching to be done at these three spots, but for the best brunches in town the focus is on substance—with a healthy side order of style.
The Sycamore Kitchen
Back in the 1950s, the building that houses The Sycamore Kitchen was a print shop. While the eatery retains that vintage look and feel, the food created by Karen and Quinn Hatfield reflects the resurgent interest in the American diner—but with a modern twist. Brunch at The Sycamore Kitchen—dubbed best in the city by Time Out LA—features Stumptown coffee, incredible house-made pastries as well as new takes on classics: the breakfast sandwich, eggs Benedict, granola, pancakes and more.
Stir Market
This California take on the European food hall blends retail, dining and more under one roof. It’s ideal for brunch—there’s a European-style rotisserie, a salad station, artisan bakery as well as a full-service restaurant featuring mouth-watering brunch items. Grab something caffeinated from the espresso bar or go a little stronger with a beverage from the wine and craft beer bar.
Farm Shop
Beer, wine, cheeses, meats, bread, dairy, spices — for those looking for premium ingredients for making their own killer brunch (or other meal), this is the place to stop. But even the best culinary mind would be hard-pressed to match the caliber of the brunch items available to eat in. Inspired mains—frittatas, French toast, coddled eggs, salads, sandwiches and more—will satisfy every brunch-goer’s cravings.
