Atla is perfectly situated for brunch-heavy Venice, with an Abbot Kinney look and sensibility that pervades the dining room and menu. Find veg-forward options like shareable barbacoa with all the fixings, mushrooms en salsa verde, and carrot salads on this all-day menu, plus meaty tacos and a collection of margaritas.

Want to go meat-free this weekend? Planta Cocina in Marina del Rey is a superb new option with vegan chilaquiles served with salsa roja and cashew crema or a Latin-inspired omelet with avocado and pico de Gallo. For something sweeter, blue corn waffles come with a berry compote, candied orange, and maple syrup. And for the proper brunch experience, go for either endless mimosas or sake sangrias.

Rossoblu’s Steve and Dina Samson wanted a casual Italian-influenced restaurant closer to their Playa Vista home, which resulted in Superfine Playa. The tight brunch menu offers everything from lemon ricotta pancakes and eggplant parm sandwich to a frittata parmigiana with tomato sugo, provolone, and mozzarella. Enjoy it on the sunny patio with a mandarino and limoncello spritz with mint and prosecco. Brunch is counter service-only with self-seating on weekends from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This Culver City wine shop launched Saturday and Sunday brunch earlier this year. The menu features Turkish eggs with garlicky lemon-herb yogurt; eggs on toasted Bub and Grandma’s sourdough with prosciutto, pesto, arugula, and aged Parmesan; and a meatball panino. Given the shop’s extensive wine collection, there are lots of by-the-glass options to pair with the meal.

Ronan’s exciting weekend brunch has been a long time coming. The Melrose California Italian specialist continues to lean into wood-fired pizzas and salads while also diving into takes on avocado toast, a focaccia with housemade gravlax and whipped ricotta, and specialty sourdough waffles with seasonal fruit.

With unfettered Hollywood views, the rooftop Lemon Grove restaurant from Marcel Vigneron has beautiful vibes for a sunny SoCal brunch.

Koreatown’s fresh daytime cafe serves a tight menu of pineapple bun pastries, beef curry croquettes, tea egg salad brioche sandwiches, and Hong Kong-style French toast. A weekend-only Grand Slam includes the French toast, two eggs, and an option of Taiwanese sausage or tater tots. Finish meals with a refreshing milk tea or iced jasmine passionfruit tea. Parking is a bit tough, which makes transit the better choice.

The ground floor space of the Hoxton makes for an ideal diner space, so it made sense for operator Boka Group, which operates Cabra upstairs and the Girl and the Goat in Arts District, to convert the former Cafe Basque into Moonlark’s Dinette. With chef Chris Pandel at the helm, expect a true Midwestern approach to daytime fare like a deluxe breakfast sandwich with Taylor ham on a housemade English muffin, a sweet-salty Monte Cristo sandwich, and chilaquiles verdes.
