a.o.c.
Cute little wine bar with the best tapas style food. My favorite? The bacon wrapped dates!
8700 W. 3rd St. Los Angeles, CA 90048Cafe Gratitude Arts District
Obsessed with their bowls and the concept of this cafe. Detoxing the mind while detoxing the body with yummy & healthy food.
300 S. Santa Fe Ave., Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90013This place has really unique dishes such as their famous Brioche donuts that is served with iced peppermint mocha and along with their dim sum food carts. Great atmosphere to come with friends and super trendy.
FIG & OLIVE Melrose Place
Fig & Olive is central to everything, and it’s one of my favorite spots for brunch with friends and/or clients. I especially LOVE their crostini…to die for! Their dessert selection is probably the best in L.A. I also love their airy décor, which reminds me of the south of France.
8490 Melrose Pl. Los Angeles, CA 90069Gracias Madre
Not only the tastiest vegan restaurant, but also one of the best Mexican food joints in town!
8905 Melrose Ave. West Hollywood, CA 90069The Hart and The Hunter
A gem tucked away in The Pali Hotel. Their kale sale and grits are just amazing!
7950 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90046LA Chapter is great because it is walking distance from my office and I always end up going here to meet with friends and/or clients for brunch as well. It’s a great meet-up spot with a cool Downtown vibe. I particularly come here a lot for brunch and always order the avocado toast along with their Moroccan scrambled eggs. It’s across the street from ACNE and Aesop, which are two of my favorite brands to shop at, so a quick shopping trip after brunch is always necessary!
One of my new favorite restaurants in Downtown L.A.! First of all, I’m obsessed with the airy and all white interior. Their brunch is amazing, but also one of the best place to get a burger!
The Little Door
I’m a regular sitting on their outdoor patio drinking the Moroccan tea! The best tea in town.
8164 W. 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90048Located in Little Tokyo, this is a great place to have light bites and drinks with some friends. They have very unique dishes that I’ve never heard of either such as Pandan rice pudding!
