On a lazy LA weekend morning, brunch can be the primary motivator to get out of bed on (yet another) sunny day to meet friends and make plans for the day. While eggs and bacon are always good as a fall back plan, sometimes the best brunch comes from more decadent places. Read on to find the best brunch places in West LA.

Food’s minimalist décor is designer boutique meets eclectic café. With a distinct style, this spot serves seasonal, healthy and delicious food. Soups, sandwiches, signature salads and house-made sweets are supplemented by daily specials showcasing seasonal farmers’ market offerings like the oven roasted free range turkey breast sandwich with brie, arugula and cranberry chutney on Ciabatta bread. Customers can also take some of that flavor home by purchasing specialty items at Food’s in-house market from prepared food to sweets, cheeses and wines. Try the ricotta pancakes, an incredibly fluffy, filling and delicious Sunday treat.

John O’Groats’ old-fashioned biscuits never disappoint, baked on the premises, daily.
