Mother Tongue serves vibrant, globally inspired, diet-friendly dishes atop a chic rooftop with stunning Hollywood views and lively, stylish vibes.
"Mother Tongue’s weekend brunch is a good fit for a bachelor/bachelorette party, birthday, or a gathering of your three loudest friends. The rooftop restaurant offers bottomless rosé, city views, and a huge poolside patio where you can sit in a plush pink booth and eat dishes like eggs benedict and shakshuka. It’s also rarely packed, so you can usually drop by last minute with a group and still get a table without much of a wait. Deal: $30 bottomless rosé and $39 pre-fixe menu. Weekends 11am-3pm." - brant cox, nikko duren

Michael Mina’s restaurant has gorgeous views while serving crowds centered on specific dietary needs, including those who follow keto, anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, vegetarian, and plant-based dining." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
