About this restaurant

Carmel transports the energy, culture, and flavor of the renowned outdoor marketplace “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s food scene.

Using some of the oldest techniques in the world— a wood-burning oven, an open flame grill— chef Asaf Maoz interprets ancient Levantine cooking traditions through a modern lens.

Dishes showcase the best of the season: farmer’s market produce, sustainably-sourced meats and seafood, all prepared with the global culinary influence of the Tel Aviv shuk. Breads are baked in-house, including a 72-hour fermented Moroccan Frena, baked to order in the wood-fire oven.

Carmel is hands down the best restaurant in Los Angeles. The food is amazing, the service is fantastic, and the ambience/atmosphere is one of a kind.

Extremely expensive for what you get. The portions are small, the food was unique, but overall it was not worth the price. It was our first and last visit.
