Going out to brunch on the weekends is one of our absolute favorite hobbies, which is why we are always looking for cute new spots to try. Los Angeles is home to sone of the greatest food, and they sure don’t mess around when it comes to brunch. We’ve been to the hidden gems, the trendy hotspots, and everything in between, and now we want to share our favorites with you! Here is a list of the best brunch spots we’ve found in LA, so you can add them to the top of your list.
1. Della Terra
Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better brunch spot. Right across Erewhon in the Fairfax district has been an LA Italian staple for the past 15 years – Della Terra! This Northern Italian Trattoria inspired restaurant has one of the best brunch menus in LA and it’s because everything on it is so delicious. We just visited this hotspot and tasted their revamped menu (yup, they upgraded it to another level) and can’t stop singing its praises. The interior? Cozy and welcoming ( they even have a cool patio in the back and wine room if you’re looking to host a big party). The staff? Knowledgable and friendly. The drinks? Bottomless mimosas, Bellini’s, Aperol Spritzes are super refreshing and satisfying. The food? Savory, comforting and limitless. When you go to Della Terra there is one thing you have to order off the menu: Eggs Al Forno. You’ve got oven roasted polenta, spicy sausage and eggs on a bed of a tasty tomato sauce. It was so filling and was something different than the usual bacon and eggs or Belgian Waffles ( which they do have on the menu too!). If you want more lunch than breakfast, you can’t go wrong with ordering a pizza (we had the classic Margherita, because why not?!). They have an open concept, wood fire brick oven cooking up brunch inspired pizzas like a Smoked Salmon Pizza or their Poached Eggs Bruschetta. Another highlight is that they also serve up amazing coffee. It’s because their sister restaurant – Haute Mess – is right next door. This European inspired cafe and market supplies Della Terra customers with the freshest brews and delicious bakery items too. Also, just to note you can also order salads and pasta from their lunch menu (another reason why we say the menu is seriously limitless). Check out Della Terra for brunch from 10am-3pm on weekends.
Address: 7675 Beverly Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90036
