Great White

"Australian-influenced Great White expanded to Larchmont in 2021, bringing with it a gorgeous patio that would feel at home right on the beach. The easygoing restaurant serves a menu that matches its vibes, with dishes like avocado toast, fish tacos, and pizza. Looking towards the busy Larchmont Boulevard, this restaurant offers especially good people-watching." - Rebecca Roland

"Of all Venice patios, Great White’s is the one to be on. It can get crowded, especially for weekend brunch, but that’s because this Venice sign adjacent restaurant serves moist banana bread or hotcakes in the early hours, as well as salads and crispy chicken sandwiches, or thin, crispy pizza or pasta Bolognese at just about any hour of the day. It’s fairly easy to get a table in the early evenings, but just in case, you can always book a Resy." - Matthew Kang, Nicole Adlman

"Great White offers a fantastic all-day brunch inspired by the beach scene in Australia. The menu has something for everyone, including a respectable breakfast burrito, stomach-filling grain bowl, and market fruit-topped hotcake. The avocado toast is easily one of the best at the Venice, Larchmont, or West Hollywood locations, while those who want more substantial plates can opt for the juicy double patty burger or blistered wood-fired pizzas." - Eater Staff

"Great White’s Venice parklet is one of the hottest spots for dog lovers. The outdoor seating area gets packed but is easy for dogs to relax under a shaded spot while diners try the banana bread with whipped honeycomb butter, crispy chicken sandwiches, ceviche, flat whites, or a glass of shiraz." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes

"“I know it’s a bit of a chain, but I think Great White makes one of the best breakfast burritos in town. I’m walking distance from the Larchmont location and I think they do a great job. Get there a little early on weekends, though. If you go before 10am, you’ll be OK.”" - sylvio martins
