Neighborhood: Melrose area
Cuisine:French
8474 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles CA 90069+1 323 655 6277"This is one classy joint (with a fireplace). A small intimate venue. English peas, pea shoots and citrus sambal is one of the side dishes here on offer with certain meals. Perfection. The vegetables and vegetarian dishes are among the finest you will find anywhere. The intimacy of the place is also a plus. A succulent mustard grilled chicken, an extremely light pan seared halibut, and a slow roas ... read more > -

Cuisine:Steakhouse
8764 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles CA 90048+1 310 276 5205"A few outlets in the area. The fact that it’s a chain means great service: They have a rep to maintain after all, so if you don’t enjoy the experience at one venue, you might not try another. Happy Hour is great here too. Mac and cheese is great here. Combine it with the onion bread and it goes down a treat. A choice of two salads means you’re not eating a big hunk of protein if you don’t want to ... read more > -

Cuisine:Japanese, Japanese Sushi
8684 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles CA 90069+1 310 659 4770Nishimura is home to some of the best sushi chefs in LA and with that comes a hefty price tag for lunch or dinner. But, like most things, you do indeed get what you pay for and in this case a lighter wallet means extraordinarily good sushi. Generally letting the chef prepare you an omakase meal is the way to go as it consists primarily of sashimi as opposed to other sushi restaurants that are heav ... read more > -

Cuisine:American (New), Asian Fusion/Pan-Asian, Seafood
5955 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles CA 90038+1 323 460 4170"A seafood restaurant par excellence, this venue has a lot more to offer. Autumnal décor and hues mark it out as a discreet place to come dine, but it’s the right side of spacious too, with high ceilings. A constantly changing menu is always filled with the freshest ingredients on the market. With respect to the non fish menu items, the Wagyu beef is superb. The duck really delivers too.

7383 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles CA 90189323-655-3331Gastropub, bar, restaurant...whatever you decide to call The Village Idiot you can be certain that you won't leave disappointed. The whole place is very welcoming with a staff that is as friendly as they are helpful. They serve quintessential pub food, such as fish and chips, and they boast a great selection of beers and classic British favorites that you'll almost feel as if you wandered into a n ... read more > -

Cuisine:Argentinean
7229 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles CA 90046+1 323 934 6838For delicious Argentinian food, Lala's Grill is the place to go. Their chicken and beef empanadas come out fresh hot and crispy. The stuffing is tasty with the grilled pieces of onions mixed inside. Once you dip it in the Chimichurri sauce you are good to go. Also worth trying is the Picante Sandwich with grilled Spicy Chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, and Argentine sauce. A meal wouldn't be compl ... read more > -

7119 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles CA 90036+1 323 525 0588"With a “to go” line for those getting take out and other registers for sit down meals, this place is a great healthy eating establishment, but even with the take out orders siphoned off, it gets very busy. You will find a great veggie burger here. Perfect soups are also on offer. Salads on offer are all very appealing. Some of them feature stuff a bit off the beaten track, such as dandelion (not ... read more > -

6602 Melrose Ave Los Angeles CA 90038(323) 297-0100"The bartenders and servers here are more than accommodating. Delightful Italian meat cuts enhanced by the creamiest of mozzarella cheese are found among the appetizers. The management could just sell the cheese on each plate and they would never go out of business. You can enjoy a grilled beef tagliata or the sea urchin and crab pasta is a tasty dish as well. Lighter dishes also include the halib ... read more > -
