From Breakfast … to Lunch … to Dinner

Meyers Manx Cafe expands its offerings at Petersen Museum

By Helene Seifer

As befitting a restaurant in the Petersen Automotive Museum, the new café there pays tribute to the “Manx,” the original dune buggy designed by Bruce F. Meyers. The new Meyers Manx Cafe is stepping on the gas to bring expanded offerings to satisfy both car collectors and families who visit the museum.

Currently open for breakfast and lunch, restaurant operations director Greg Scarborough reveals that it is expanding its healthy eating options and is developing a dinner program for implementation in April or May 2023.

Having received its liquor license in January, a bar program is expected to launch by the beginning of March featuring such mixers as grapefruit and lavender house-made syr- ups, cocktails flavored with their bespoke roasted coffees (for example, an espresso-infused mezcal Negroni), and a robust “zero-proof” cocktail menu.
