A top destination for contemporary French cuisine in Los Angeles, Mélisse offers a chic, elegant atmosphere and the artful presentations of chef-owner Josiah Citrin. Born in California to a French father and trained classically in Paris, Citrin is a weekly regular at the Santa Monica farmers market and his graceful dishes accordingly reflect a dedication to simplicity and the seasons.
