Three Spots To Plan Around

Choose the meal and neighborhood first. These are researched planning suggestions; each profile gives its sources and verification date.

Los Angeles · Historic Core

Perch

Perch pairs French-influenced weekend dishes with a rooftop setting in downtown Los Angeles. Brunch in the restaurant begins before the separate 16th-floor lounge opens, so the space you book matters. Croissant French toast and smoked-salmon Benedict provide concrete starting points for comparing the menu.

On The Menu: Croissant French toast, smoked-salmon Benedict and crab Benedict
Good For: A Downtown LA Brunch With Elevated Views
Plan Ahead: Weekend brunch: 10 AM–3:30 PM. The 16th-floor bar opens at noon, separately.

Published examples: $21 French toast and $24 smoked-salmon Benedict, before extras and tax.

Los Angeles · Downtown Los Angeles

Redbird

Redbird’s downtown dining room offers a weekend menu that includes ricotta-blueberry pancakes and duck-confit chilaquiles. It is useful to distinguish a main-room reservation from lounge walk-in seating. The restaurant’s published wellness charge and large-party service fee also affect what your meal will cost.

On The Menu: Ricotta-blueberry pancakes, banana French toast and duck-confit chilaquiles
Good For: An Open-Air Dining Room In Downtown LA
Plan Ahead: Saturday–Sunday, 10 AM–2 PM. Reserve the main dining room; the lounge is walk-in only.

Published examples: $18 pancakes and $26 chilaquiles, before drinks, charges and tax.

Met Her At A Bar — La Brea

Belgian waffles and La Colombe coffee anchor Met Her At A Bar’s La Brea café. The Mid-Wilshire branch has an online waitlist and longer weekend service, making timing and group size useful deciding factors. Its Santa Monica location has a different address and should be booked separately.

On The Menu: Belgian waffles and La Colombe coffee
Good For: Belgian Waffles And Coffee On La Brea
Plan Ahead: Mid-Wilshire: weekdays 8 AM–3 PM; weekends 8 AM–4 PM. Online waitlist available.

A 20% gratuity applies to groups of five or more; the menu declines substitutions.

Plan The Rest Of The Visit

For a café meal, compare La Brea’s waitlist with Silverlake reservations. For downtown, distinguish Redbird’s main dining room from lounge seating, and Perch’s restaurant brunch from the later-opening 16th-floor bar.
