Carmel

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.

This weekend, Carmel transports the soul of Tel Aviv’s bustling “Shuk HaCarmel” to Melrose for a brunch experience that ignites the senses. In the heart of LA’s food scene, Chef Asaf Maoz reinterprets ancient Levantine cooking for the modern palate, centered around the elemental magic of our wood-burning oven and open-flame grill. Our brunch is a journey through flavor, starting with ingredients sourced directly from local farmer's markets. Begin with a dish that defines our philosophy: seasonal hummus so fresh it captures the essence of the week's harvest. The true star, however, is our baked-to-order 72-hour fermented Moroccan frena bread. Pulled directly from our wood-fired oven, its warm, pillowy texture and incredible flavor will redefine your expectations of bread service. Complement your meal with our thoughtfully curated beverage program. Sip on unique craft brunch cocktails designed to pair with the smoky, savory, and fresh notes of our dishes, or awaken your senses with our exceptional coffee program, perfect for a leisurely weekend morning. For a farm-to-table brunch that feels like a discovery, for flavors you won't find anywhere else in Los Angeles, and for the vibrant energy of the shuk, join us at Carmel. Reserve your table for a weekend brunch that is quickly becoming a Los Angeles essential.
