The 13 Best Brunch Restaurants In Santa Monica, Venice, And The Westside - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Brunch at RVR looks similar to dinner, with a nearly identical menu and people sipping highballs at the bar. However, the crowds are smaller, the pace is slower, and this California-filtered izakaya on Abbot Kinney sprinkles in a few daytime specials, including mochi beignets served warm in sweet and salty miso-orange syrup. Dunk these into a Japanese-style pour-over and consider your morning off to an excellent start Online reservations are released 30 days out at midnight daily. For walk-ins, plan on lining up before doors open at 5pm, or arriving after 8:30pm—you'll likely be seated at the wrap-around bar either way." - sylvio martins, cathy park, jess basser sanders
