Chic Brunch Spots in West LA

Beyond the ever-popular Republique, West LA is home to some delightful and stylish brunch options. Here are two personal favorites that offer both delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. 🥂✨ 1️⃣ Alisa Wine & Friends 💗 Located near Santa Monica, this spot offers a bright, relaxed vibe and serves hearty, flavorful Greek-Mediterranean dishes—a refreshing change from typical American brunch fare. The space is airy and welcoming, perfect for a leisurely weekend meal. 🌿 🍖 Must-tries: The grilled lamb chops are tender and well-seasoned, the beef skewers are juicy and satisfying, the hummus with cumin is rich and aromatic, and the fresh yogurt is creamy and light. Each dish feels wholesome and thoughtfully prepared. 📸 For a glimpse of their lovely interior, check out their Instagram—it’s as pretty as the food! 2️⃣ Great White This place gives off classic, polished "American elevated casual" vibes. After visiting three times, I find it consistently reliable. The Melrose location is especially charming—sleek, stylish, and surrounded by trendy shops, making it ideal for a post-brunch stroll. 🛍️ 🥑 Snack highlights: The avocado dip is smooth and flavorful, and the tuna tostada is fresh and zesty. 🍝 The shrimp pasta is decent, though the sauce can be a tad dry. 🥣 The blue smoothie bowl looks pretty but doesn’t quite match up to a truly great açai bowl—still, it’s Instagram-worthy if you’re in the mood for something light and colorful. 🍳 The "Great White Breakie" is visually appealing (think fluffy eggs and avocado artfully arranged), but the dry bread and salty pork might leave you wanting more. Both spots bring something special to West LA’s brunch scene—whether you’re craving Mediterranean warmth or clean, contemporary flavors. Perfect for treating yourself or enjoying a cozy meal with friends! 🌞🥰 #LAEats #LABrunches #WestLA #LAFoodGuide #BrunchLife #LosAngelesDining #FoodExplorer #ChicEats #LALiving
