"Laya’s $68 three-course brunch menu is designed to dazzle. Chef Charbel Hayek’s Hollywood spot is made for daytime dining with its expansive outdoor space with muted tones, custom-built-in banquettes, a fire pit, and two bars. Diners will be serenaded by a DJ while sharing a mezze platter as the first course with beetroot hummus, seared haloumi, falafel, crudites, and more. Choose from shakshuka, chicken shawarma, eggs Benedict, a wagyu burger, or salted caramel brioche french toast. The Bloody Mary is prepared tableside with Lebanese Redhead Hot Sauce, celery-infused vodka, and a heaping skewer of shrimp, bacon, basturma cured meat, labneh stuffed olives, and a labneh stuffed jalapeño with sumac and Aleppo pepper." - Mona Holmes
