It’s a Los Angeles weekend, which means brunch. And, brunch usually includes at least one choice of pancakes. Here are some favorites around town to get your grub on with:
BLD
People have been raving about BLD’s blueberry ricotta pancakes for years, so of course, they made the list. Douce them with the log-cabin shaped tin of pure Berkshire maple syrup and you will be a happy bruncher. 7450 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, 90036; 323.930.9744
Canele
Possibly over looked, because it’s listed under “sides”, order up the “baked pancake with meyer lemon custard”. This breakfast treat is what happens when flour, eggs, sugar and milk are baked in a ramekin and covered with lemon custard. It will melt in your mouth. 3219 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles, 90039; 323.666.7133
Salt’s Cure
Try the oatmeal griddle cakes at Salt’s Cure. They’re thick, hearty, served with cinnamon butter and loaded with grains. It’s pancakes made healthy! 7494 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, 90046; 323.850.7258
Culina at the Four Seasons Los Angeles
Vamp up your brunch at the Four Seasons Los Angeles. The pancakes here are very fusion California with whole wheat, almonds, and served with blueberries as well as pomegranate maple syrup. 300 S Doheny Dr., Los Angeles, 90048; 310.273.2222
Gjelina
Treat yourself to the lemon chestnut ricotta confection Travis Lett serves up at Gjelina. Plus, the cakes come with both raspberry and maple syrup. 1429 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, 90291; 310.450.1429
