Norma’s

Norma’s — the brightly colored open-air terrace restaurant that serves breakfast all day until 3 p.m., then transitions into dinner service. Mind you, the concept of breakfast at Norma’s can be a no-holds-barred extravaganza of decadent proportions. There is no denying a contagious feeling of both calm and delight as you pull up a chair or slide into a booth to peruse the menu. Go spare and minimalist with the simplicity of poached eggs and half a grapefruit or go maximalist with any one of the French toast, waffle, or pancake concoctions. Go gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian — they serve to change it up and please.

The white slump block and wood interior of Norma’s is a room open, friendly, and bright throughout the day — cozy, votive-lit, and discreet at night when the menu changes to a short selection of California-fresh, clean entrées prepared to classic perfection or with the subtlest twist on the standard. Comfortable, low-key, effortless.
