Ce que vous allez adorer dans le quartier
Melrose Place is one of LA’s best kept secrets — tucked in the triangle between Melrose Avenue, La Cienega and Melrose Place is home to numerous upscale LA brands and plenty of photo ops.
From the LA Times:
If Mayberry RFD were crossed with Paris’ Avenue Montaigne, the result might be Melrose Place: two leafy blocks with a global array of luxury boutiques nestling against one another, many with gardens or terraces and climbing vines. Easy to miss while driving through the nearby West Hollywood design district, this tributary of Melrose Avenue is the fashion-lover’s antidote to shopping malls or the endless boulevards of Los Angeles.
On Melrose Place, birdsong replaces canned music and storekeepers sweep sidewalks in the morning. Santa Maria Novella, the 400-year-old perfumer and cosmetic-pharmacy founded by Florentine nuns, set up its only West Coast shop there. French and Italian luxury fashion boutiques Marni, Chloe and Bottega Veneta sit cozily with American fashion houses, including The Row, Oscar de la Renta, Irene Neuwirth, Monique Lhuillier, Rachel Comey and Zero + Maria Cornejo. Indeed, over the past decade fashion has overtaken Melrose Place, turning it into a rival for splashier Rodeo Drive. “People like it because it has a vibe,” says real-estate broker Jay Luchs.
The latest neighbor to arrive is Mansur Gavriel, fast expanding beyond its iconic minimalist bucket bags into shoes, breezy ready-to-wear and even menswear. The store (the brand’s third) opened in February at the west end of Melrose Place with an additional attraction—a cafe serving lunch and afternoon bites such as shaved pasta Romanesco, zucchini salad and polenta cake. With a new take on retail, virtually everything in the Mansur Gavriel store and cafe is for sale, including bottles of Italian olive oil, the dishes and wicker basketry.
Melrose Place lacks the crowds of Rodeo Drive or South Coast Plaza, and boutique managers say that their clients tend to be local and come with the purpose of shopping for apparel rather than to browse for whim purchases such as fragrances and small accessories. “The Place” is also frequented by Hollywood stylists and personal shoppers who cater to clients that have demanding red-carpet and social needs.
Alex Bolen, chief executive of Oscar de la Renta, says that when he and the late designer chose to open a store on Melrose Place more than a decade ago, “we decided it would become a destination for our clients.” Consequently the apparel collections available on Melrose Place are generally more extensive than those in mall boutiques, and they often focus on the brands’ highest-end couture. The Balmain store at the east end of the street recently featured rare heavily beaded and embroidered runway items that would be hard to find at a department store.
If Melrose Place has a shortcoming, it’s a dearth of easy parking (YOU WON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PARKING PERMIT). A few stores, such as Bottega Veneta, have spots for a customer or two behind their stores. Ride-sharing and GPS systems are leading more travelers to discover Melrose Place in search of off-the-beaten track gems. Discovery is helped along by the emergence of eateries, anchored by Fig & Olive. While Alfred’s coffee house is the most noticeable place to grab a bite or a sip, with tables spilling out onto the sidewalk, just up a small alleyway are a Moon Juice juice bar and the pink Instagram-worthy walls of Alfred Tea Room, which serves up frothy matcha and other teas.
Melrose Place is a tributary of the longer and more storied Melrose Avenue, which runs through the heart of Los Angeles. Melrose Avenue to the east was the retail soul of L.A.’s punk scene in the 1990s—a period when the neighborhood businesses on Melrose Place included a dry cleaner and a porn-film shop. (It had nothing to do with the soap opera Melrose Place, which was actually filmed in a small Los Feliz apartment building miles away from West Hollywood.)
Luchs recalls arriving in LA in the mid 1990s and eating glazed shrimp at Manhattan WonTon, which later became the celebrated French restaurant Bastide and today is Mansur Gavriel. Over time, rug purveyors and antique stores moved in—today’s Chloe boutique was formerly an art gallery—but there was still a mix of offices and even residences in 19tk, when Neil Diamond bought a small building with a rectangular swimming pool in the courtyard for his office and studio. The singer’s office was later overtaken by the John Frieda boutique, where celebrity hair stylist Sally Hirshberger attracted clients like Meg Ryan, who were soon dashing along the small street to appointments.
Today that building holds the spa-like The Row boutique, where it’s tempting to take a seat on one of the chairs by the pool and read a book. This is the second store for the coveted label founded and designed by former child actresses Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Here, too, in addition to The Row’s meticulously placed clothes, handbags, shoes and jewelry, even most of the furnishings are for sale—though some require the personal approval of the owners (the Olsens).
The Italian brand Marni was the fashion pioneer on the street in 2004, followed quickly by Marc Jacobs, which soon drew the attention of Oscar de la Renta. On a visit with Alex Bolen to Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, de la Renta suggested they take a look at the new Marc Jacobs store. Jet-lagged after flying from New York, the two gentlemen arrived before the store opened, but an unoccupied two-story brick building down the street drew their curiosity, Bolen recalls. He wandered along the side of the building and discovered an unlocked window. “So I did what some people would call breaking and entering,” Bolen says, noting that both he and de la Rental were dressed in suits and ties—and that de la Renta protested out of fear they could be arrested. “I climbed through the window,” says Bolen, “and I walked through the space, opened the door and persuaded Oscar to come in.”
The Oscar de la Renta boutique there today is entered through a white wooden gate and a brick garden path that could lead to Miss Marple’s house. There is an inviting brick terrace and a prodigious array of the exquisite evening and wedding gowns for which the label is famous. A fireplace in the foyer completes the residential tone.
Maria Cornejo took over a former rug store on Melrose Place in 2010, bringing in her brother to oversee the construction. “When we thought of opening a store in L.A., I liked the idea of a shopping street rather than a mall,” says Cornejo. The street’s hodgepodge of architecture is its essence, she notes. “Every place has its own character.”

Melrose Avenue rose to fame in the 1980s as an underground cultural hub. Though some of that sartorial punk attitude has since settled in nearby Fairfax Village—for now—Melrose is still an essential destination for vintage stores and, increasingly, brand-name fashion imports as well as inventive restaurants and outdoor patios.
Though the street stretches from Silver Lake to the Beverly Hills border, when we refer to Melrose we tend to think of a cluster of shops, restaurants and galleries between Highland Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard. The colorful storefronts and vintage shops are mostly to the east; head in the opposite direction and the street transitions into concept stores, brand-name flagships and design showrooms as you reach the West Hollywood border. You'll want to explore both ends, though, for the full experience. To help you out, we've rounded up our favorite restaurants, bars, shops and more in our guide to the heart of Melrose Avenue.
-------
Melrose Avenue is one of L.A.’s most famous streets, featuring a myriad of shopping, dining and entertainment destinations. Melrose runs north of Beverly Boulevard and south of Santa Monica Boulevard. Along its "west end," Melrose Avenue is all about strolling and shopping, so bring dough and plenty of it. The street begins at Santa Monica Boulevard where the cities of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood meet, otherwise known as the intersection of posh and funky.
Start by heading east along Melrose LA’s chic design district, anchored by the vast green, red and blue buildings of the Pacific Design Center. In the complex's courtyard, you'll find MOCA Pacific Design Center, an offshoot of downtown's Museum of Contemporary Art; it's always free and usually exhibits work by noteworthy local artists. If you're feeling peckish, there's the upscale vegan fare at Gracias Madre, a Mexican-themed restaurant from the folks behind Cafe Gratitude. You won't have to declare "I am glorious" or "I am thriving" just to order a tempeh wrap or bowl of soup. It has a lovely patio like nearby Zinque, a loosely French bistro that's as popular for power breakfasts as it is for sipping wine and cheese in the late afternoon. If you'd rather have your vino at home, turn down La Cienega and pop into the cave-like Du Vin Wine & Spirits where knowledgeable staffers who will help you sort through the well chosen selection of wines and liquors.
Continuing east, you'll hit a slew of stores on Melrose stocking everything you need to outfit your home: antique and contemporary rugs at Woven Accents or Mansour Fine Rugs; one-of-a-kind bathrooms and kitchen fixtures (perhaps inspired by the controls of a Victorian boiler room) at Waterworks; Eames loungers, Nelson pendant lamps and other classics of modernist furniture at Design Within Reach. You can also outfit yourself with luxurious handbags from Balenciaga, colorful dresses from Alberta Ferretti, buttery soft leather jackets from Rag & Bone and elegant made-to-measure menswear from Seize sur Vingt. At Kitson, you don't have to decide; choose clothes and gifts for men, women and kids from a diverse array of labels. If you need a pick-me-up, head to Alfred in the Alley, located literally in an alley next to popular and ultra-upbeat spin studio Cycle House.
Urth Caffe Melrose lets you choose between healthy salads and diet-busting desserts; if the cafe is packed, and it usually is, take your iced latte across the street where you'll find the world's fanciest Restoration Hardware. Even though it's big, RH is easy to miss because there's no sign and it feels more like a furniture gallery than a store. Head upstairs to the rooftop terrace where couches, long wooden tables, cabanas, candles and ping pong tables await anyone who wants to kick back and enjoy a sweet view of the Hollywood Hills. If you want to dine in style, there's another rooftop option. On the northwest corner of Melrose and La Cienega, above the Alice and Olivia boutique, the recently opened E.P. & L.P. offers Southeast Asian fare on two levels. Downstairs at E.P., chef Louis Tikaram offers a menu of oysters, short ribs and seafood curry while upstairs at the glamorous rooftop L.P., it's all about cocktails and streetfood-inspired small bites like turmeric pork skewers and soft shell crab buns.
Once you hit La Cienega, it's worth making a detour to Melrose Place Los Angeles, which is one block north. The street was immortalized in the '90s thanks to Aaron Spelling's over-the-top TV show, but you won't find apartment complexes populated by conniving, wanna be actors. In truth, the street is occupied by an eye-popping array of designer boutiques: Monique LHuillier, Isabel Marant, Chloe, Vince, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs. Don't forget The Row, Ashley and and Mary-Kate Olsen's fashion line, the edgy lingerie at Kiki De Montparnasse or the ocean-inspired jewelry designs of SoCal native Irene Neuwirth. You might pop into Bookmarc, next to the Marc Jacobs store, to peruse the art, design and photo books, or Tenoversix, one of the most unique gift shops on Melrose. Melrose Place is also home to the original (and much larger) Alfred Cafe. Order at the subterranean counter -- and stop in at Compartes Chocolatier for high-style bonbons -- then try to snag a streetside table for people-watching (celeb and otherwise).
For a sit-down meal, there's airy, Mediterranean-inspired Fig & Olive where the seasonal fare is complemented by a tasting of infused olive oils. On Sunday mornings, check out the Melrose place farmers market that begins at the almost civilized hour of 9 a.m.
If you’re ready for more Melrose Avenue shopping, the golden triangle bordered by Melrose Avenue includes more high-end shops, from the opulent and kooky home furnishings of Kelly Wearstler to the outrageous fashions of Alexander McQueen. As you head east, you'll hit Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith as well as the high-end vintage store Decades and the fanciful housewares of Jonathan Adler. At the corner of Crescent Heights there's stylish stalwart Fred Segal, which feels like a handful of tantalizing boutiques that have been smartly married into one department store. Don't leave home without that Black AmEx.
The street is also something of a dining corridor. Near La Cienega there's the longstanding Lucques where chef Suzanne Goin sets the bar high for farm-to-table fare. (Her Sunday suppers, which are served family-style, are legendary.) Michael Voltaggio aims for visual thrills along with substance at ink, where classic dishes get a modernist spin; the egg yolk gnocchi and charcoal potatoes look as good as they taste. At Tal Ronnen's Crossroads, the fanciest vegan restaurant in town, the scaloppini with marsala are actually glazed morel mushrooms and the crab cakes are made from hearts of palm. The desserts at Sweet Lady Jane, especially the triple berry cake and Oreo tiramisu, are popular; or you can design and decorate your own cake at Duff's Cakemix. Chicago chef Rick Bayless's slick, Melrose California-inflected Mexican joint, Red O, is still going strong since opening in 2010.
East of Crescent Heights, Melrose Avenue starts to get more funky with outposts from denim line G-Star RAW, t-shirt line Johnny Cupcakes (nope, it's not a bakery) and Adidas. Agent Provocateur specializes in provocative lingerie and you're offered champagne when you walk through the door, which is the best way to shop for anything. The playful modernism of Blu Dot and the eco-friendly finds at Cisco Home Furnishings should scratch that housewares itch.
If you want nightlife, check out the comedy at The Improv, which offers a mix of mainstream and oddball acts. When it's all said and done, head to Palihotel where the terrific in-house restaurant, The Hart and The Hunter, puts an uptown spin on down-home dishes like shrimp and grits, smoked trout and fried green tomatoes. The boutique hotel, with its small but stylish rooms, makes an ideal launching point for a night on the town; you're ultra close to West Hollywood and within striking distance of both the Sunset Strip and Hollywood.
