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 is my first time at Carmel , and everything about the experience was amazing. As an Arts District residence I am used to the high level of cuisine offered in the neighborhood like Bavel Camélia and Bestia and Carmel is certainly in the same class

Fantastic service, delicious food and great atmosphere. A bit loud but as expected for a full and vibrant Saturday night. Amazing birthday dinner. Sitting at the counter was perfect.
