So you're tired of standing in the brunch line at Sqirl, waiting 45 minutes for a table at Gjelina and wondering why everyone is taking so long to finish their French toast at EAT. Real problems, guys. Thankfully, there are a couple new brunches—boozy or otherwise—in town, and their newbie status likely means shorter wait times. Check out these four restaurants where you can now score an eggs Benedict, some quality pancakes and a much-needed mimosa.
Cafe Birdie (Highland Park): Highland Park's newest restaurant has added a weekend brunch to their lineup, with executive chef Joey Booterbaugh waking up residents with eggs Benedict on toasted brioche, creme brûlée French toast and avocado toast. A housemade Bloody Mary and the patio-pounder Trouble Maker (gin, grapefruit, dry vermouth, lime and Peychaud's bitters) provide a boozy means to wash down your meal. Sat & Sun 10am-3pm
Catch (West Hollywood): If you're looking for a brunch spot to see and be seen, make a reservation at Catch. The beautiful rooftop boasts stunning views of Downtown L.A. and the Hollywood Hills (and some of your favorite celebs), while the brunch menu offers a gluten-free waffle tower, a farro health bowl, a Black Label Burger and more. Sat & Sun 11am-3pm
Brack Shop Tavern (Downtown): Watch your football team on Sunday mornings at this new Downtown sports bar, where a Brack Shop Breakfast comes with two eggs any style, sausage or bacon, rosemary potatoes and toast. You can also snag avocado toast, pancakes and short rib hash, along with breakfast cocktails to quench your thirst as you gaze at the bar's multiple TVs. Sun 10am-4pm
