Carmel brings the vibrant energy, rich culture, and bold flavors inspired by the iconic “Shuk HaCarmel” marketplace to Melrose Avenue, in the heart of LA’s dynamic food scene.
The menu reimagines ancient Levantine cooking traditions with a modern twist, using timeless techniques like wood-fired ovens and open-flame grilling.
Dishes celebrate the season with the finest farmer’s market produce, sustainably sourced meats, and seafood, all infused with global culinary influences reminiscent of the Tel Aviv shuk. House-made breads, including the signature 72-hour fermented Moroccan frena, are baked to perfection in the wood-fire oven, offering a dining experience that balances tradition and innovation.
