1. Zinque

This cute lunch place is located near an artsy district named Abbot Kinney. Walking distance from Venice Beach, this restaurant has a layed back vibe. The restaurant’s most famous dish is their avocado tomato tartine; served on a french bread with seasoning. This combination makes for a perfect bite. Plus, Zinque is known for their coffee!

2. Malibu Farm

This restaurant should win the prettiest view in all the city. Customers can sit outside on the second story, and overlook the ocean. If the view is not compelling enough, Malibu Farm’s food is to die for. Everything is so good that I can’t choose just one thing. I always ended up splitting a summer salad containing squash and avocado, and a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with tomato.

3. Blu Jam

Easily the best breakfast in Los Angeles, but it comes with a wait. Even at 2 P.M., Blu Jam is always packed. No reservations are allowed, so customers should expect to wait at least a half hour. The signature dish, and my personal favorite, is their crunchy French toast. The toast is covered in frosted flakes, strawberries, and bananas, and comes with a vanilla sauce.

4. Sweet Lady Jane

This place is surely a sweet bite. Their most famous cake, the triple berry cake, consists of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. It is delicious, but does not feel unhealthy to eat. It is perfect to pick up for all occasions: birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations.

5. Gracias Madre

Basically this vegan Mexican restaurant is paradise. Located on Melrose in West Hollywood, this restaurant attracts a cool clientele, even meat eaters. It has a large back patio, perfect for hosting events. This restaurant has a lot of choices like enchiladas stuffed with sweet potatoes.

Vegetarians of Los Angeles, do not worry! There are so many options, especially at the most trendy spots.
