"Botanica balances California-grown produce with Mediterranean flavors, served effortlessly with compelling wines in the heart of Silver Lake. The morning mezze meal gathers a slew of dips and salads with fresh laffa bread, while a diner plate fuses seed-and-nut dukkah and Calabrian chile harissa with eggs and Nueske’s bacon. Shakshuka combines well-seasoned tomato-eggplant sauce with two sunny-side up eggs and a side of Bub & Grandma’s focaccia. Pro-tip: those with a sweet tooth should get the “cake for breakfast” because a slice of coconut cake with passionfruit cream is as nutritious as a pancake." - Matthew Kang
