Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes Easter. This year, we’ve mostly moved away from takeout options—though you’ll still find take-home packages from Santa Monica favorite Huckleberry on this list. Instead, you’ll find decadent brunches at fancy-schmancy hotels and cozy restaurants with plenty of outdoor dining. Read on for bottomless mimosas, lots of lamb and the best hot cross buns around town at these worthwhile Easter brunch destinations in 2024.
