"Brunch at Gjelina resembles an egg convention for Wilhelmina models. But there's no denying the joy of eating labneh toast, slab bacon, and fluffy lemon buckwheat ricotta pancakes on their breezy back patio. That’s why Westsiders with laminated eyebrows flock to this Abbot Kinney restaurant on the weekends. Expect at least 30 minutes for walk-ins. And if you prefer your brunch on the lunchier side of the spectrum, order the lamb sausage pizza." - brant cox, sylvio martins
