Brunch is a serious format in Los Angeles, built around the daily line and the open patio rather than the bottomless mimosa. Jessica Koslow's Sqirl on Virgil Avenue in Silver Lake popularized the ricotta toast and still draws a daily counter line, while Walter and Margarita Manzke's Republique plates brunch in a 1928 commissary on La Brea. Out west, Gjelina on Abbot Kinney in Venice runs a wood-fire menu of vegetable plates and pizzas worth booking ahead.
