Susan Feniger's Hollywood restaurant is launching their international all-you-can-eat brunch this weekend. Their famous kaya toast will be available, as well as heaps of other dishes like Moroccan-spiced carrot cake muffins; Turkish spinach borek; tamales benedict; and chilaquiles. The AYCE brunch will be available on Saturdays and Sundays from here on out form 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. It costs $25 per person for unlimited small plates with an option to add bottomless mimosa sparkling cocktails for $15.
WP24 Restaurant and Lounge: Get your pinkies up and enjoy an elevated “Tea at the Top” high above Downtown Los Angeles at Wolfgang Puck's stunning restaurant at the Ritz. There, you'll enjoy housemade pastries, innovative tea blends from Art of Tea, a child-friendly menu, and for mom, a small gift from The Ritz-Carlton, Spa Los Angeles. The tea is $65 per adult, $20 per child excluding tax and gratuity, and seatings are at 1 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2 p.m.
Bouchon: Thomas Keller is keeping it classy at his Beverly Hills bistro for mother's day; every mom in the house will get a complimentary glass of Moet champagne and macarons to take home on Sunday. They'll be serving a decadent brunch from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. that ranges from the fancy, like the Saumon Fumé, a dish composed of Santa Barbara smoked salmon hard boiled Jidori egg, red onions, Kendal Farms crème fraîche & toasted English muffin ($18.50) to the down home, like the famous fried chicken and waffles.
Ray's and Stark Bar: Ray’s & Stark Bar is one of our favorite outdoor oases in L.A., and they're launching weekend brunches this Sunday. Cruise the museum galleries with the family, then enjoy Mediterranean-inspired garden-fresh a la carte specials such as “Green Eggs and Ham” with jamon iberico; Squid Ink chitarra pasta with opal basil, Serrano chile, and tuna bottarga; and Sausage Stuffed Quail with braised bitter greens, garlic, grapes, and vincotto. Brunch goes from 11:30 a.m.- 3:00 p.m.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
