16 Brunch Spots You Can Walk Into - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Scopa is a good Westside party restaurant at dinner - but at brunch, it might be even better. Because no matter how late you decide that today’s a good day to get drunk while you eat eggs, there will probably be a table available at Scopa. The Italian-ish menu isn’t going to blow you away, but it’s still good - we recommend the ricotta and huckleberry blintzes, or the soft eggs with Italian sausage. But you’re here for the excellent brunch cocktails anyway. The Mezcal Mary is a very good take on the traditional brunch cocktail, and the same great Old Fashioned from the dinner menu is also available, if you’re looking for something stronger." - brant cox, brett keating
