Commissary (now Openaire) – Brunch in a greenhouse – Los Angeles

Commissary, The Line Hotel, Los Angeles

Commissary is now closed and the restaurant Openaire has opened instead

First brunch in LA was at Commissary, which is a nice rooftop restaurant inside a giant greenhouse at The Line Hotel. We started out with each our cold pressed juice, before we decided to share an Eggs Benedict, a cauliflower tempura and a cheese plate. 

The size of the portions in the U.S. are so big that it’s easy to order too much food, and the 3 dishes we ordered also turned out to be much more than we could eat. I also liked the settings a lot. You’re inside but it feels like you’re sitting outside in someone’s garden. On top of a hotel:)

Eggs Benedict origins from the States, so I guess that’s why they’re so good at making that dish over here. I think I’ve had around 7 Eggs Benedicts on my trip so far, and none of them has been bad. The ones we had a Commissary was also really good and came with hash browns on the side and a slice of prosciutto under the eggs. Really delicious!

Los Angeles is a city you don’t quite figure out all at once. It unfolds slowly, neighborhood by neighborhood, mile by mile. Vast and sun washed, cinematic and oddly intimate, it’s a place of constant contrast. Morning hikes in the canyons. Long lunches that stretch into late afternoon. Evenings that end by the ocean with salt in your hair and traffic humming somewhere in the distance. What I love most about LA is that it feels less like a single city and more like a collection of distinct worlds stitched together by freeways and palm trees. A strip mall might hide one of the best meals you’ll have all year. A quiet residential street can lead to a view that stops you in your tracks. The glamour is there if you look for it, but so is a relaxed, everyday rhythm that makes the city surprisingly livable. On this page, I’ve gathered my Los Angeles favorites. The restaurants I return to. The neighborhoods I linger in. The places that capture the particular mix of ambition, creativity, and laid back energy that defines the city.
