Two Stars 🌟🌟 | LA Melisse

Delicious Japanese-French fusion cuisine! ✨ I visited a few months ago, so the menu has likely changed by now—but this place truly combines generous portions, amazing flavors, great lighting, and soothing music… so many highlights! Loved it! ❤️ I went during truffle season, which was the theme of the meal. 🍄 The dining experience was elevated by a classic French dish—the duck breast. 🦆 The chef explained that the sauce was made by aging the duck in Romanée-Conti wine for 21 days before pressing it out. The result was a subtle, warm red wine aroma blended perfectly with the rich meaty flavor—an unexpectedly harmonious fusion! 🍷🔥 Every course was delightful, and the desserts were varied without being overly sweet. 🍰 Overall, the portions were substantial—I left absolutely stuffed! 🫃 Definitely a restaurant I’d love to revisit! 💫 Have you tried any Japanese-French fusion spots?
