Santa Monica

If evidence of the growing influence of the Australian breakfast on the Los Angeles palette were needed then observe Bondi Harvest (bondi harvest.cafe), a Santa Monica favourite that has proved to be much more popular than the now-shuttered Sydney original. Run by former Sydneysider Dave Harper and his American wife, Sabrina, this airy, informal café features outdoor seating and a selection of the sort of healthconscious brekkie bowls that are now a phenomenon both sides of the Pacific. top pick is the Hermosa Beach original, which is housed in a 1911 bungalow with a lovely patio.
