Salt's Cure

Though this Hollywood eatery’s ranch-to-table ethos might no longer generate as much buzz today, Salt's Cure and its pancake-oriented offshoot, Breakfast by Salt's Cure, have remained one of the best no-fuss brunch options in the city, especially when we’re not looking for a scene. Head to West Hollywood and Santa Monica (as well NYC’s West Village) for chef-owner Chris Phelps's effortlessly delicious griddle cakes and a casual order-at-the-counter situation, or visit the Hollywood original for a hearty, full-service brunch that includes sandwiches, salads and plenty of protein. Either way, Salt's Cure has become our favorite laidback breakfast and brunch destination to keep in our back pocket—and hopefully, it'll soon be yours too.
