Who knew that wood paneling could be this hip? Capri Club owner Robert Fleming, for one. JSmothered pork chops at Dulan’s Soul Food Kitchen in InglewoodĪll the sips at Capri Club in Eagle Rock. Nic’s is worth a stop for a nice date for vegans and non-vegans alike. The orecchiette pasta was perfectly al dente with a great chew to it. The orecchiette pasta made with a plant-based lamb was also also an amazing surprise - the protein’s texture and flavor mimicked lamb almost exactly. The softer crust made me wish all pizzas were made with this way. The almond ricotta was immaculate, playing well with the fresh arugula. The sweet and spicy balsamic garlic, which was coated onto the crust of the pizza, came through in every bite. We knew we had to try the balsamic ricotta Detroit-style pizza based off a friend’s recommendation, and it did not disappoint.

Nic’s menu is full of meat and seafood dishes I never thought could be made plant-based, like fish and chips and the lamb gyro burger.

And though the tortillas are a wonderful add, it’s likely that most - like me - will search for a spoon to put as little distance between and this dish and the diner as possible. Delicately made with wild rockfish, slices of poblano, corn, and housemade tortillas, the dish suits LA’s 90 degree days. And for the newly launched brunch, Cervantes has an assortment of dishes centered on fish, including a rockfish ceviche. The kitchen has chef Jesús “Chuy” Cervantes at the helm, where he’s preparing incredible dishes. The patio with a retractable sunroof shifts the light and brings in a breeze at the right hour. With a transformation that’s nothing less than fresh thanks to a collaboration between designer Michaela De Bernadi and architect Alonso de Garay, the concrete is smooth and enhanced with soft light, harboring a sleek, sexy feel. There’s so much to take in at chef Enrique Olvera’s LA spot located in a former warehouse (I’m certain it was a prominent site during 1990s underground rave culture).

And if you’re wondering, the plate lives up to each aspect of its name - full of intense salted butter flavor, giant enough to split with three people, and satisfying any post-Saturday urge for fast-food-style hash browns. This is my platonic brunch ideal and worth getting to Ospi early for (it sometimes sells out before 2 p.m.). Lucky for us, one of those dishes is the “giant buttery hashbrown,” which is, in the most ideal way, what it sounds like: a flat, rectangular nest of crispy shredded potato (think a loose, oblong latke) topped with citrusy house-cured Ora King salmon gravlax, zig-zaggy lines of dill labneh, slices of pickled red onion and cucumber, and briny capers. The brunch menu here is full of breads (three-inch-thick fett’unta spread with mashed avocado, pickled fresno chiles, and a runny egg), pastas, pizzas, and those irresistible round disks of breaded and fried provolone served alongside a creamy vodka sauce, leaving only a few items for the gluten-sensitive set. There’s not much to do on a lazy last weekend in June than brunch at your local neighborhood spot - none more local to me than Ospi near the North Venice entrance of the Venice Beach boardwalk.
