Brunch is Back at Love & Salt!

Weekend brunch plans just got a whole lot easier. After a hiatus, Love & Salt has officially brought back its beloved brunch service, giving South Bay locals another reason to spend a leisurely morning in downtown Manhattan Beach. The restaurant is now serving brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., making it the perfect stop before a beach walk, afternoon shopping, or simply catching up with friends.

Known for its warm hospitality and California-meets-Italy approach to dining, Love & Salt has long been one of Manhattan Beach’s favorite dinner destinations. Now, the same thoughtful cooking and seasonal ingredients are making their way back onto the brunch table.

An Italian-Inspired Brunch Worth Waking Up For

If you’ve dined at Love & Salt before, you already know the restaurant doesn’t do ordinary. Every dish reflects their philosophy of combining Italian traditions with fresh Southern California ingredients, creating a menu that’s both comforting and elevated.

The returning brunch menu features a mix of savory favorites and sweet indulgences, making it easy whether you’re craving eggs, fresh-baked pastries, pizza, or something to share with the table. Of course, no brunch is complete without cocktails, and Love & Salt’s beverage program includes classic brunch favorites alongside their signature drinks and carefully selected wines.

Some standout dishes include the spiced brioche French toast with berries and lemon buttercream, the bacon jam burger, and Eggs in Purgatory baked in tomato ragu, wood-fired mortadella, and chilaquiles with eggs, creme fraiche, and pickled peppers.

A Perfect Weekend Stop in Downtown Manhattan Beach

Part of what makes brunch at Love & Salt so enjoyable is its location. Sitting just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier, it’s easy to turn your meal into an entire morning out. Grab a coffee nearby, browse local boutiques, take a walk along The Strand, or head down to the sand after your reservation.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, meeting family from out of town, or simply looking for an excuse to slow down on the weekend, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and approachable.

The South Bay Brunch Scene Just Got Better

The South Bay has no shortage of great brunch spots, but Love & Salt brings something a little different to the table. Its Italian-inspired menu, seasonal ingredients, welcoming dining room, and walkable Manhattan Beach location make it an easy addition to any weekend itinerary.

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to revisit one of the area’s most beloved restaurants, or you’ve somehow never been, this is it. Brunch is officially back, and it looks every bit as delicious as locals remember.

So gather your brunch crew, make a reservation, and enjoy one of Manhattan Beach’s favorite weekend traditions once again.
