What was once the rustic watering hole Ye Coach & Horses is now an upgraded version as the British gastropub The Pikey. Perfect for out of town guests, the Pikey offers a spectacular brunch menu that will get high marks on all points. The menu offers a wide variety of fish, meats and pastries and a bottomless option for mimosas and Bloody Mary's. What to order? The biscuits with maple butter, the cinnamon bites and the brioche French toast will all melt in your mouth, while the char-grilled burger with barber's cheddar and Worcestershire aioli is completely worth being uncomfortably full.
Canel
3219 Glendale Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90039
(323) 666-7133
www.canele.la.com
The brunch menu at Canel may be short but it's definitely done well. The deep dish market quiche and the fried chicken sandwich with pickled green tomatoes make the grade, but if you want the Dean's list worthy items go for the omelet with the choice of three fillings including goat cheese, gruyere, feta, tomato confit, mushrooms, caramelized onions or long cooked greens. Items are a little on the pricey side but still far less than college tuition.
