The 21 Best Brunch Restaurants In Los Angeles

"If you’re looking for a fancy brunch on a patio, head to Damian. Servers pamper you like you're a prized poodle, trees shade the smooth cement tables, and Mexican dishes you’ve eaten thousands of times feel new again. We usually start off with some pastries like a blue corn concha and then go for chilaquiles topped with machaca de pescado. Anyone who wants to eat seafood before 11am (our heroes) will like the lobster tostadas and their brunch-only aguachile, which tastes like a group of raw scallops took a spicy acid shower. You can usually waltz right into Damian without a reservation, or book a last-minute table for you and a few masa-inclined, fancy friends." - brant cox, sylvio martins
