    Chilaquiles
    Itzel C.

    Mexican mom approved, she liked this plate more then at other places. We had a Mocha, iced chai tea latte chilaquiles and buttermilk pancakes. The iced chai tea was okay nothing special, the buttermilk milk were so good, soft, thick and really yummy. The chilaquiles the chile verde was on point. The waitress was really nice! Overall space was quaint. I would comeback for the pancakes

    Amazing choice for brunch convenient to Hollywood. Came across this place while staying at the W Hollywood. I wanted a place with bottomless mimosas to save money and not be overcharged for staple breakfast items at the hotel restaurant. I assumed the trade off would be food quality but I was completely wrong. Th Grand Marnier French toast was Top 3, not 3. Probably the best french toast I've ever had. The orange flavor was infused into the toast and not overpowering, but the perfect compliment. The turkey sausage was a little dry but I chose that as a healthier alternative to bacon, so I won't be overcritical. The bottomless mimosas were straight to the point and a good mix of juice and bubbles. Our server was kind and attentive. They offer indoor and outdoor seating along the sidewalks which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. Ideal spot for good eats without the luxury tax you would expect from Los Angeles. 10/10!!

    Stopped in for the first time as a party of two for brunch on Friday and we both had a really nice meal. It's a quick and casual little brunch and lunch spot that was even better than we were expecting. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. They do have a good size menu with a lot of good options on it, there was more than I expected there to be. Inside is not very large, there aren't many tables, but service is fast so I'm sure the tables turn quickly. I did not see any outside seating, it was all indoor. There is not a dedicated parking lot, street parking only. We found metered parking on the same block of the restaurant otherwise parking may be a bit tricky. I started off a BBL, which is an iced coffee with brown sugar, banana syrup, and cinnamon. It was honestly really good and I would go back in there just for that alone. For my breakfast, I chose the Crab Cake Benedict and added avocado and really enjoyed it. The crabcakes were almost crispy and they had a lot of flavor to them which I really enjoyed. My eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered them and overall, I thought it was a really nice meal. It is a bit more expensive than I expected it to be, we did start with a pair of the Corn Ribs, which were a nice start but everything was just a little bit pricey. It was almost $90 for a party of two, but I do think it is worth it if you're in the area and stop in on occasion.

    Walked into eat this cafe with no high expectations, I had been recommended this place by various people before and I finally gave in to try it out! I entered like an hour before closing so it was empty but I heard it gets really busy during the weekends because of their bottomless mimosas! I ordered the breakfast burrito, not expecting much, but this burrito was soooo good! I paired it with seasonal fruit and it made the whole meal perfect! My plate was fulling and fresh, my boyfriend ordered a sandwich with their house salad and we were pleasantly surprised with the portions on the sandwich as well! They offer complimentary waters for table but I ordered their ice tea! It tasted like it was freshly brewed, not bitter just right! I am so glad I stopped by this place and was left amazed by the food and the customer service. Only sucky part about the establishment was that there is no private parking lot, only public street parking !

    This is a nice brunch/lunch place in LA. Food was good. Service was nice and attentive in the beginning, but got really slow near the end. Maybe they got busy or it was near closing time so they had to clean up. Our server didn't use any note taking device, so they forgot certain requests when the order got more complicated. * Cilantro Fire Shrimp Burrito 4.5/5 - The burrito was good. The shrimp was well seasoned with a small spicy kick. Some items was asked to be added on the side but not all was included. * Chilaquiles 5/5 - I really liked this. It came with chips, Spanish rice, and fried eggs. You can add pulled pork for $5 extra. The sauce was good, creamy and slightly spicy. * Dubai Chocolate Waffles 5/5 - Their twist on the Dubai chocolate. It came with waffles and strawberries drizzled with pistachio cream and chocolate sauce, sprinkled with crunchy filo pastry. It was pretty good! * Avocado Toast 3.5/5 - Kinda simple, avocado slices on top of sourdough toast, nothing exciting. They did hook us up with a lot of avocado, though. You can add eggs for $3.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich
    Evon S.

    Small brunch place where I highly suggest a reservation is made. The food is good however you may need to order more to keep up with the endless mimosas that keep getting poured as part of the bottomless mimosas package. The service is decent I must say. Unfortunately I did not get my full 2 hours of mimosas but more like 45 minutes because they were closing an hour after my reservation time. It's unfortunate but I'll keep the business hours in mind for next time.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Flaming Burrito
    Justin C.

    Great vibes here! I was in the area and came on Saturday around 11 am for brunch. Parking is slightly difficult, as it's just street parking but there is a neighborhood behind the restaurant and we found parking about a 1 min walk away. We didn't wait at all for a party of two but honestly, I would recommend trying to make a yelp reservation here. It seemed to get pretty busy closer to noon and a few larger parties were waiting outside when we left. The place is super small and we were like no more than 8 inches away from the table next to us haha We ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich which comes with potato chips and the Flaming Burrito which comes with Home Fries. We absolutely loved the Home Fries; they're mini potatoes and so hot and crispy. We had to order another side of them!! Honestly, the food was alright. It was good and we have no complaints but it wasn't mind blowing. The flaming burrito is basically crispy chicken pieces, chips, and eggs and honestly it was the burrito form of the spicy chicken sandwich lol so we feel like we basically got the same thing. I would highly highly recommend getting the bottomless mimosas! I never saw a table with an empty glass and the server was on top of it walking around the restaurant topping off everyone's drinks even if they were more than half full! It's a great deal too - $22 for bottomless mimosas. Like I said before, the vibes in this restaurant were great. Very lively! The servers were all great and attentive. I had a great time here and will be back. Solid 4.5/5 in my book.

    I think the kitchen may open later u arrived at 9 am . Three people in store one server and I believe possibly an owner . They are cashless . They are quiet . There kitchen opens when the chef comes in I presume since seven minutes in and an order is being placed . If you want to work here there is plenty of space ! I've been here before so I know the food is good ! Mimosa fell flat zero bubbles but I'm just studying lines and it isn't a big deal ! Parking is around the area metered

    Omelette with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes
    Justin J.

    Been here a few times and met a couple friends here for brunch. Long overdue for a review. Made a reservation ahead of time so didn't have to wait, and a line did form eventually, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going for brunch. Started off with mimosas, as you do with brunch, and bottomless mimosas are $22 opposed to $10 for a single mimosa. Definitely a good deal! For food, we each tried something different. The omelettes are nice and full, depending on what you want in them. We had it stuffed with bacon, cheese cheese, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and topped with avocado. Eggs were cooked well for the omelette. The chilaquiles was topped with a verde sauce that was pretty tasty, but the tortilla chips were pretty soggy overall. Would have liked a little less sauce so you get that nice crispiness from the chips. Our last item was the flaming burrito with crispy chicken in spicy habanero sauce, 2 over-medium eggs, homemade ranch and cheddar cheese. The chicken was nice and crispy, and you get a little spice with the habanero, but the house made ranch really didn't come through. It could have used that ranch flavor to complete the flavor profile of the burrito. Overall, great deal on the mimosas and the food was flavorful, though each item wasn't necessarily perfect, they were still good. Solid brunch spot for the weekend.

    Decided to have breakfast at this very cute cafe while we were in LA. This was about a mile from our Airbnb. Seating can be indoor or outdoor. We all enjoyed the foods and our drinks. The service was good & quick. Overall it was a great experience.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Sofis K.

    HUEVOS RANCHEROS 8/10: I have been coming here for years and I was excited to try out the huevos rancheros, it has a good salsa ranchera, and the tortillas are perfectly crisp. I suggest adding the steak! * My suggestion to the cafe would be to change the serving bowl to a plate. I found it a bit difficult to cut my food especially since I opted for potatoes instead of rice. BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS 10/10: My father loves Eat This Cafe for their mimosas. The price is hard to beat in the area and it pairs perfectly with the food! CLUB SANDWICH 10/10: This sandwich is a parent favorite, the quality has always been consistent. AVOCADO TOAST 10/10: One of my favorite menu items here, the aioli is to die for, and the avocado is perfectly ripe every time. SOUTHWESTERN 10/10: My mom's go-to salad with the added crispy chicken. NOTES-- - I would mostly suggest Eat This Cafe for their mimosas and savory food items. I have found that their sweet items, such as the Dubai chocolate waffle and their pancakes fall short compared to the other menu items. - Great ambiance, such lovely waiters, their service is always amazing! - Parking can be a be difficult to find in the area.

    My friends and I came here for brunch and the food was awesome! Their bottomless deal was definitely worth it if you're having more than two drinks. I had the most delicious pancakes & my friends had some huevos rancheros that were also delicious!!

    Overall was a very good experience! Service was friendly and attentive from the beginning and all…read morethroughout dinner, so that set the tone for the night. We were a party of 6, but 2 were lagging soooo hard for our reservation, and we weren't allowed to be seated until everyone showed up. I think the servers felt bad for us lol so they seated us after 25 minutes or so. By that time, I ordered their Espresso Martini which was delicious! They described it as "smoky and not too sweet." The restaurant itself has a very industrial warehouse kinda vibe to it, which was cool. Very laidback but upscale environment, dress up or dress down, it's totally up to you. My group ordered family style. We ordered... - Appetizers: 'spicy handroll' dip, goat empanadas, goat liver mousse - Veggies: roasted carrots, wood-fired sprouted cauliflower, sautéed green beans, grilled corn - Salad: shrimp & crispy greens salad, - Fish: pan roasted salmon, roasted oysters, - Meat: grilled kalbi-style short ribs, lamb curry - Dessert: matcha tres leches, mango sticky rice Honestly, if I were to do the same family style again, I would make sure I got a good taste of everything again. If I were to choose one of each category though, I'd go with spicy handroll dip as my favorite appetizer, sauteed green beans, I'll try the other salad option (the shrimp & crispy greens salad was really lemon-ey, almost too much), salmon was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the kalbi-style good was impressive and fall off the bone, andddd I can't really complain about either of the desserts. Everyone ended up splitting, it was maybe....$175 per person? Not too bad.

    Unfortunately, our experience at Girl & the Goat was pretty disappointing, especially considering…read morehow much we were looking forward to trying it. The biggest issue was the lack of cohesiveness, both in the service and the food. Our server was very difficult to find throughout the evening and only checked on us about twice, if not one of us raising our hand flagging her down. The food itself was very hit or miss. The vegetable appetizers were easily the highlight of the meal! The side dishes were genuinely delicious and had much more interesting flavor and balance than the main dishes. Unfortunately, the main dishes were extremely salty while somehow still lacking depth, spice, and actual seasoning. We ordered the goat curry and grilled chicken, which was recommended by our server. We were also disappointed by how some dishes represented different cuisines without much cultural context. For example, the goat curry is inspired by South African cuisine, but this wasn't indicated on the menu or explained to us by our server until after the fact. Traditionally, that style of curry is commonly eaten with a starch such as rice or a flatbread, so when we asked about having rice with the curry, we were surprised to learn that rice was not available and that we would need to order naan separately if we wanted it. If we are going to emphasize cultural representation in a dish, shouldn't that context also extend to how the dish is traditionally served or at least be explained when ordering? Otherwise, it can feel like the cultural identity of the dish is being adapted primarily for a Western palate rather than thoughtfully represented. This stood out because the restaurant describes itself as having "global influence and bold flavors" while creating dishes inspired by California produce and local flavors. We expected that philosophy to come through much more strongly. Instead, the menu felt somewhat random, and the dishes didn't feel like they belonged to a cohesive culinary story. Even small details, like the somewhat low resolution logo image on the menu, contributed to the impression that the overall concept wasn't as intentional as we'd expected. On a positive note, the drinks were really good, and the vegetable appetizers were definitely the bright spot of the meal! Sadly, dessert was just okay and, again, felt somewhat disconnected from the restaurant's stated identity. Overall, we were excited to experience something different, so this wasn't simply a matter of the dishes not appealing to us personally. Especially for the price of each dish, we expected much more intentionality, consistency, and boldness from a restaurant with such a strong culinary identity and reputation.

We ordered quite many dishes and desserts. -:- All were made fresh and cooked/baked perfectly. It's really hard to cook ribs perfectly. But this place did it!

If you'd like to know how good a spread tuna spread tastes like, this is the place to go! And don't get me started with their bread. Talking about fresh! They make cloud bread (my opinion). Deep fried cauliflower: first, they boiled/blanched the cauliflowers perfectly, breaded and deep fried. If you'd don't like veggies, you have to come here and get this dish. The sauce, they made it from fresh lime juice! Not from any bottled ones that majority restaurants out there use for short cuts. This including their tomato salad. Will we revisit? Yes! 1000% many many many more times!

I cannot recommend the tomato cocktail enough! I forget the name, but it was just wonderful and I thought it to be very unique. The cornbread was of course great, as well as the heirloom tomato salad. The heirloom tomato salad was absolutely delicious, and their croutons somehow soaked up all the dressing while remaining super crispy!! I highly recommend!

For all of us it was our first time at Bestia, they picked the restaurant and glad to say it was a great pick! Everyone enjoyed our time here together for the first time. The experience was amazing from the welcoming of our waitress and the detailed menu descriptions she gave to fun fact about the name of the restaurant! The restaurant was well lit and sounded like everyone was having a great time, laughing and catching up with one another! As well as the staff helping each other out and making sure everyone was satisfied! Angelica, our waitress, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, as well as the rest of the staff! She helped us pick our entrees and appetizers as well. Angelica made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal from making sure our drinks were refilled or bringing another round of drinks, to bringing clean plates for every entree we received! The bone marrow and branzino was definitely a 100/10, my brother who hates fish actually tried it and loved it! The bone marrow left everyone at the table speechless! Thank you to everyone at Bestia, especially our waitress, Angelica, for a wonderful dinner!

Parking is valet. It gets pretty crowded, so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time or show up as early as possible if you are wanting to dine here. Started off with the Peruvian Scallop Crudo and dare I say, this is hands down the best scallop I have ever had. Looked simple, but it was bursting with flavors. Duck Liver Pâté. This was my first time trying any sort of animal liver in my life. Although I was hesitant to try I am so glad I did because it was really good! The touch of truffle was a nice touch. Grilled Branzino was delicious and one of my favorites on the menu. If you are a fan of fish and don't want too much red meat this is perfect! Squid Ink Spaghetti was okay. There was good flavor with each bite and meshed well with the lobster. Oxtail ravioli was okay. Not the best, but not awful. Many reviews have recommended this, but likely would not order again. Overall, the food, drinks, and service were exceptional. The only downside would be how hot it can get while dining there seen it's hot out and the hard metal stools that start to feel uncomfortable after sitting for a while. Strongly recommended if you are wanting dishes that have a nice twist with bold flavors! A definite must try when in LA.

    Let me just say that we waited a month to go to the Dunsmoor. We took the first reservation…read moreavailable, it was for 9:45 PM but we didn't care. We heard a lot of great things and it was soooo good. There were 4 of us, and we ordered the following, the tuna toast (oh dear lord) sooooo good! We also ordered the corn bread and I swear this was like a dessert, then we ordered the Rib Eye, Sea Bass and the pork chop, ordered the salad, it's a basic salad but it was delicious!!! We also did the green beans and the potatoes. We all shared everything and it was perfect! I want to go back If you get there early, there is a bar in the back, it's only beer and wine. The service is outstanding, it's a small place, but I love that it's cozy! Totally worth every penny!!!

    My friends asked that we eat here as they haven't been able to score a reservation. So I went ahead…read moreand booked it. My previous visit was almost a year ago and glad to see that this location is as busy as it was back then. My friends and I were slightly early so we headed to the wine bar and started the evening with some oysters. They were tasty and fresh and it wasn't much longer that our table was ready. Last time I was sat in the corner of the dining area, this time we were sat in the middle in one of long dining tables. Sitting down, the candles are used to separate the seating arrangements which to me is nice little touch as it allows some separation, but invites connections to other parties. Food-wise, the steak is again the must-have which is a given. But, what blew me away was the Duck and Japanese Sweet Potato. The char on the duck was so good and contrasting with the juicy texture of the duck meat. The Japanese sweet potato was amazing as well. The contrast between sweet and savory was a plus to our steak and other sides. The staff this time was so good. Shoutout to Ty who helped a friend of mine who is new to wines pick out the best one for her as well allowed us to explore the wine selection. Overall, it was an excellent visit! I continue to recommend people to come by and eat. However, getting a reservation is tough so make sure you plan a month in advance and grab that reservation! Cheers!

    What a fantastic place! It took me working with an…read moreex-employee of Republique to even find out this place existed. His advice: "go in the morning, their cakes and pastries are killer; a long line forms even before they open, it will be worth it" it's hard to not go broke here, they have sometimes unnusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husband's favorite, its a bit much for me but I cannot deny its beauty and quality. I love all the passion fruit desserts, their danishes, anything with Caramel is also my husband's jam. Come hungry, eat something here, take some home. When dining in I've loved a slice of their quiche of the day, they give you a nice side salad with a zesty dressing, I also love ordering the baguette with salted slow-churned cultured butter (Rodolphe Le Meuiner Beurre de Baratte) and jam - simple but WOW! Fantastic place for those coming to LA for the first time, the building is just gorgeous, and for those who live in LA: you should come! I love a good french pastry, I don't come in often but when I do I am always satisfied

    The Bottom Line 4.5 stars: Highly recommended culinary destination. A few reservations as noted…read morebelow. Location 4 stars: On the east side of South LaBrea Ave between Wilshire and 6th street. Paid valet parking next to the venue. There is also limited metered street parking and third party paid parking lots. Venue 5 stars: Beautiful, charming historical building originally designed in 1928 by architect Roy Seldon Price for Charlie Chaplin as a mixed office/store complex. More recently it housed LaBrea Bakery and the Campanile Restaurant before Republique opened in 2013. A few outdoor tables as well as many indoor community and private standard and high tables, and a full bar. There are also some seating upstairs, sometimes reserved for private groups. They in fact operate two distinct Republique restaurants here. Morning to 2 PM they serve breakfast and lunch and bakery items. It's a more casual order-at-the-counter-and-they-bring-it-to your table set-up. At night it's a formal sit-down restaurant. Republique has become a huge tourist spot and you see a lot of international visitors there. Billing 1 star: They charge a 4% surcharge up and above the prices on the menu. I find this confusing and misleading. Why not simply reflect this in your prices? Service 4 stars: Polite and to the point. Food 4 stars: New American fare with French influences. I have only been there for breakfast and lunch and cannot rate the fancier dinner items. My favorites are the Lobster Omelet, the Mushroom Toast and the Croque Madame. I found the Eggs Benedict and the Steak Frites a bit underwhelming. The Eggs Benedict lacked flavor and the steak was a little tough and chewy... I also felt that the Fingerling Potatoes and the French Fries were way too salty. Drinks 4 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and coffee/matcha. No mainstream soft drinks. I have had the Ube Coconut Matcha Latte (it was overwhelmingly sweet!), the Tiramisu (it's a drink! delicious), the Green Shake (smoothie, quite good) and the hot Cappuccino (ok). Serving sizes are on the smaller size.
