Venice, Los Angeles · restaurant
Part bakery, part deli, part fever dream of every Silver Lake expat who moved west. Gjusta is a Venice institution with the chaotic charm of a Parisian marché. If that marché had brisket banh mi, kouign-amann, and a smoked fish spread that could end wars. No signage, no apologies, just grab a tray, sharpen your elbows, and embrace the ballet of brunching amidst tech founders and off-duty models debating oat vs. almond milk. Pro tip: get the granola to go.
House-cured tuna conserva, pepperonata, tapenade, and fresh herbs on sourdough.
Daily selection of house-smoked fish, served with labneh, capers, pickled veggies and fresh bread.
Flaky, buttery croissant with a baklava filling. People call it the best in LA.
Moist banana bread, fresh-baked daily. Usually sells out.
Everything bagel with salmon roe and cream cheese.
Flaky galette with seasonal fruit. Changes with what's fresh.
Ricotta, seasonal citrus, honey on toast. Bright and creamy.
Smoked fish, soft-boiled egg, pickled veggies. Famous for this.
