Breakfast restaurants in Los Angeles

  1. A

    Griddle Café

    Giant portions, friendly service and French-press coffee keep the wooden tables and U-shaped counter full all morning at this tasty breakfast joint favored by Hollywood’s young and tousled. Located just east of the dark-towered Directors Guild; look for the mobs huddled outside on weekend mornings. Arrive early.

    Square One Dining

    Breakfasts here are so darn good you’ll want to lick your square white plate. The decor’s not much but thick slabs of bacon, fluffy egg dishes and unbleached heirloom grits confirm the focus is where it should be. Artists, couples and business brunchers fill tables for the all-organic menu, but for a different view, grab a window seat and watch the buttoned-down faithful at the nearby Scientology complex.

    Uncle Bill’s Pancake House

    Nothin’ could be finer than a pancake in a diner known far and wide as Uncle Bill’s. Grab a stool, grab a booth, or best yet grab a table on the sun-drenched patio. In season, the pumpkin-spice pancakes are can’t-miss. Omelets are darn good too. Tousled hipsters, tottering toddlers, gabbing girlfriends – everybody’s here or on the way. Put your name on the clipboard, quick.

    Omelette Inn

    From clerks to cops to city-council members, everybody's got a soft spot for this unassuming joint where breakfasts and sandwiches are served in belt-loosening portions. Build up your own omelette from more than 40 ingredients or pick from tried-and-true menu favorites such as The Sicilian or Grecian Formula.

    Martha’s 22nd Street Grill

    Every table has an ocean view on the cheery umbrella’d patio just steps from the Strand. Martha’s scrumptious scrambles, tasty wraps and addictive chicken cilantro soup keep locals rolling in by bike, blade and stroller. Don’t worry, the waiting list moves fast.

    Omelette Parlor

    An institution since the time Main St was known as Dogtown, festooned with black-and-whites of old Santa Monica, a soundtrack of oldies and a leafy courtyard out back. Big-as-your-head omelets and famous waffles for breakfast may last you to dinner.
