Best brunch in LA: weekend & daytime picks
Daylight menus that justify leaving the house before golden hour: Los Feliz market cafes, Silver Lake breakfast institutions, acai counters, Mount Wilson weekends, and Mid-Wilshire burrito brick-and-mortars. Coffee first; traffic second.
Patio and outdoor brunch picks
For a patio, Zinqué is the pick: a French cafe and wine bar on Lincoln in Venice with tartines, salads and a European-style patio. A dedicated outdoor dining guide is still in the works.
