    Looking for an excellent lunch stop on the way from Los Angeles to Laguna Beach? Mr. Kebap offers outstanding Turkish food. Recommend the variety platter if you come with 3 or more people.

  • The Naked Pig (Santa Rosa, CA)
    • Rating:

    Want a nice relaxed farm to table brunch while visiting Sonoma wine country? The Naked Pig in Santa Rosa is a great option. Don’t leave without trying the homemade biscuits with local honey. Another interesting treat is the tarragon cream soda.

  • Sol Bar (Calistoga, CA)
    • Rating:

    Looking for a taste of Napa? Try the Solage’s Sol Bar in Calistoga. I recommend coming for lunch to experience the same great cuisine without completely breaking the bank. Opentable has ample reservations.

  • Granola (Copenhagen, Denmark)
    • Rating:

    If you are an early bird, finding a restaurant open for breakfast, before 10am, in Copenhagen is a challenge. Trek to Granola, try the Oatmeal and you will not be disappointed.
