Best Brunch Restaurants in Panorama City

This year, I made the deliberate choice to spend Christmas Day at El Torito, a decision that proved to be exceptionally rewarding. The ambiance of the establishment is nothing short of remarkable, creating an inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The service, in particular, was exemplary; our waitress, Maria, exhibited an extraordinary level of professionalism and attentiveness that left a lasting impression. Her ability to anticipate our needs and provide recommendations was commendable, and it is worth noting that her efforts contributed significantly to our overall satisfaction. I wholeheartedly endorse El Torito as a premier dining destination, especially during the holiday season, and encourage others to consider it for their future celebrations. The combination of exquisite service and delightful cuisine ensures that patrons will leave feeling exceedingly pleased.

Our server was Chanel and she was excellent! She was charming and pleasant throughout our meal and gave us great suggestions. We’ll be asking for her when we return! ❤️

This was our first time at Bacari Sherman Oaks, after going to locations in Silver Lake and Third Street in Los Angeles - and it was every bit as good, if not more impressive, than their other locations. Our server, Casey, was fantastic. The setting is exquisite, and the food is absolutely sensational. We have some favorites that we always (and will always) order: Carmelized Pork Belly, Caprese, Brussells Sprouts, Lamb Hummus. We brought friends who had never been to any of the Bacaris and they loved it as well. We'll be back VERY soon!

We were excited to try Hugo’s while visiting LA as the entire menu is gluten free. The special menu had pumpkin pancakes which were phenomenal. I enjoyed every bite. I was excited to see cornbread offered as part of another dish and asked if I could have a side of cornbread. The cornbread unfortunately was not served at room temperature and was dried out. I added some of my syrup to it which helped add moisture as the flavor was good. I was told the four cheese macaroni and cheese with the GF penne was very good as was the omelette. Dessert offerings of peach cobbler and pumpkin pie were also enjoyed, though a comment was made that the pumpkin pie was a little heavy on the cinnamon and other spices.
