The best brunches Route 66

Looking for a good breakfast or an American-style brunch? Look no further: Millie's Cafe is a reference in the field. If you want to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the place, ask to sit at the counter, opposite the kitchen, where the chefs are busy. Otherwise, the small adjacent dining room and the sidewalk terrace could not be nicer. However, you will have to wait in line, especially on weekends, starting at 10 am. A little tip: if you come alone, you'll have to go in front of everyone else.

Head to The Griddle for some of the most gargantuan breakfasts and brunches in Los Angeles. Eggs Benedict, pancakes and waffles; alongside these late-morning staples are more unusual dishes, such as scrambled eggs served with shrimp and pesto. If you're in the mood, be careful not to over-order: portions can easily be shared between two people. Also, note that the places are crowded on weekends: you may have to wait.

An excellent place for breakfast before starting the Loop tours. Enjoy custom pancakes, from the simplest to the most elaborate. Also on the menu are good eggs Bénédicte or French toast with fruit. For lunch, a wide choice of sandwiches is also available. A good place in a neighborhood where there is a desperate need, where you can eat fresh produce in a family atmosphere and at a low cost.

While strolling along the Sunset Strip, west of West Hollywood, don't miss Dialog Cafe. This family-run business is part of the Third Wave Coffee movement, and it shows: the hot beverages are delicious. If there's a queue, the best thing to do is ask for a takeaway and get on with your walk. Otherwise, take the time to sit down and order one of the delicious sweet dishes, such as the healthy acai bowl with oatmeal, or the gourmet mini waffles.

If it's not easy to find, Mr. Mamas Breakfast and Lunch is worth looking for. People have been flocking to the door of this little Greek and Californian-influenced canteen since 2012 for brunch. On the menu: pancakes, omelettes, French toast, sandwiches, wraps and burritos. Finally, the restaurant is particularly renowned for its cinnamon rolls, which are big enough for two, as the menu proudly states.
