Josiah Citrin’s Famed Mélisse in Santa Monica Named one of 28 Five-Star International Restaurants; Only Los Angeles Restaurant to Receive Recognition

Mélisse, the celebrated restaurant of Chef Josiah Citrin, has just added another prestigious award to its accolades. Since Mélisse first opened its doors in 1999, Citrin and his restaurant have been a tour de force in the world of fine dining and a fixture in California’s culinary landscape. And Tuesday, the Forbes Travel Guide unveiled its 55th annual listing of Star Award-winning hospitality establishments worldwide, naming Mélisse among this influential list.

Mélisse is the latest installment to the travel ratings system by Forbes Travel Guide, the gold standard in the industry since 1958.  Citrin’s one of only 28 restaurants nationally to receive five stars, one of four restaurants in California and is the only restaurant in Los Angeles to merit the highest rating, putting Mélisse on par with French Laundry, Per Se, Joêl Robuchon, Daniel, Jean George and Eleven Madison Park, among other fine dining destinations.

“This has been what we have been striving for from the beginning,” said Citrin. “Our goal is to create a memorable experience that’s going to last forever with every guest.”

Mélisse is known as much for its refined setting as it is its artistic, flawless cuisine and exceptional service.  Citrin passionately frequents the local Farmers’ Market and manages to coax unexpected flavors from his carefully chosen ingredients. They are presented as edible works of art.
