Wanted some sandwiches and was not disappointed with Oui Melrose. Fortunately we went off hours and were able to find parking as well as being able to walk in and just order was great. The menu is not complicated or very large, and has a specialty item like a stuffed bread with different options named after possibly the founder of the restaurant. Khachapuri is the item, but we did not get it this time. We got a Chicken Ceaser Laffa wrap as well as a Chicken Parm and Bolognese sandwich. They did not take very long to get prepared and brought to our table. These are very good size sandwiches, you can easily eat it as two meals. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and helped us make our decision on what to order. It is a very bright place. Has odd artwork, not really a style or anything. A picture of a cow, a watercolor landscape. A fish chart. Something else that I forget.... Just odd, does not really work together, but oh well. Maybe these are from employees or were donated or something. But on to the sandwiches.... They were really good. I think I liked the Ceaser better than the chicken parm and Bolognese sandwich. But it was a hot day and the Ceaser was a bit more refreshing. The bread and wrap were good. Lots of sauce and dressing. Lots of stuff stuffed into the sandwiches. Good stuff. Parking can be tricky. I would like to try out some of the other menu items one of these days.

Soujouk Khachapuri
Krissy B.

I recently came across Oui Melrose and I need to talk about their khachapuri. This traditional Georgian dish has been part of my life since childhood. Sunday mornings were sacred in our house, my dad would always bring some for breakfast. We tried it from so many different places in LA over the years, so I know what real khachapuri should taste like. I've now had it from Oui Melrose (2 days in a row ), and honestly, there are no words for how incredible it is. The bread, the cheese, the whole experience, it rivals the best I've ever had, and it brought back so many warm memories of those Sunday mornings. If you've never tried Oui Melrose you're missing out, this is the place. Everything I've tried is incredible.

Chicken Parm With Bolognese and a Fried Cod Sandwich with a side of fresh lemonade.

Great service and flavorful food! The location is small but has seating available with a cute window bar.

Double cheeseburger w bacon

Simply well designed hand-crafted home made gourmet items w tons of culinary finesse in every detail. Best part is that the people are spectacular human beings all around. My pro tip here: put extra money in the parking meter and relax while enjoying their Valrhona chocolate donut (my fav) after a double burger w bacon.

Menu

It was the girliest of girls days and my friend planned a whole day for us to hang out since im leaving LA! She made the best choice for lunch and decided we would hit up Oui for Lunch! Arrived here at around 1pm and took a ood look at the menu before placing our order up front. So, ive been here before many upon many years ago when they only had the normal cod sandwich available, which was great! But, when I saw they had a nashville hot version, i totally had to get my hands on that. My friend got the garlic chicken sandwich. Both were amaxing! Hers was warm and cheesy with lots of garlic flavor. Mine was so so perfect. I'm a girl who loves spicy and this had a great amount of kick on it. The cod itself was flavorful, flakey with a beautifully crispy outside. Perfect for the warm day it was. We both had lemonades which were also very good. Also want to mention that both sandwiches were HUGE! We both couldn't finish either and had to take them home. The version of me who had it later that evening was very very happy. Totally great lunch at Oui! It was nice having a great lunch in a casual spot.

Fried Cod Sandwich
Lila S.

I got the Fried Cod Sandwich and it was alright. Not bad, not the best sandwich I've ever had. I got a cold brew with oat milk and vanilla syrup, this was GREAT, lol. The place is really small with only 3 tables and a small bar top. The cashier was really nice! If I come back maybe I'll try the cheesesteak sandwich.

Bacon & Chive Khachapuri was beautiful and a 10 out of 10. It is a cheese lovers delight.

Give this small shop a big six (or more) stars. There is seating inside for about 10 or so people. Metered street parking is your only option. You order at the counter. The chicken parm with bolognese is fantastic. It is an extremely hearty sandwich and is about as good as a chicken parm sandwich can get. The garlic chicken sandwich is also wonderful. The garlic flavor is strong but not overdone. This is another very hearty sandwich and it is excellent. It sounds ordinary but the excellent ingredients and preparation make this special. The bacon and chive khachapuri is a work of art. You pick your crust preference. I chose za'atar at the recommendation of the counter employee and was very happy with its nutty flavor. Professor Google told me that khachapuri is a "cheese-filled bread" from Georgia (the country kinda near Russia, not the state) and that is a good description. It comes with a barely fried egg in the middle. If you love bread and especially cheese--and who doesn't--this dish is for you. It is a belly bomb but worth every calorie. I had it for lunch and was not a bit unhappy that I was too full for dinner. Do not sleep on the baked goods, either. Is there anything they don't do well here? The salted chocolate cookie was excellent and a perfect blend of sweet and salty. The cinnamon cookie butter cookie was very good, too. I want to return soon and try everything else on the menu.

Oh my gosh. I will say that if you're coming to LA for a day trip and want a fast meal that'll blow your mind, please please come here. I'm actually so sad that I've already finished the leftovers I had from this place, it's that good. My friend and I went for dinner and split the chicken parm sandwich and garlic fries, both 10/10 in my book. We also got the orange blossom and pistachio donut which was an interesting flavor that slowly grows on you. All the food was so good that I went back for lunch the next day and got their spiced chicken laffas and it may have been the best thing I've eaten this month. The workers behind the counter are also super sweet and overall this is such a great shop if you want to get a quality meal with a friend or alone. Highly highly recommend!

Had a craving for a fish sandwich and had to try Oui Melrose after hearing so many great reviews. I ordered online and went inside to pick up my order. While the restaurant is small, they offer seating options inside and outside for those who want to enjoy their meal. I ordered the fish sandwich and it was delicious. It was a great portion and the flavors with the tartar sauce were great. I would love to come back to try additional dishes. I will definitely be back.

Julio T.

Sandwich was pretty tasty . Not my usual Philly steak but I definitely enjoyed it . The bread they use with the seeds was delicious . I'm used to a very sloppy extra cheesy spicy steak and don't judge me but I love it with some ranch . But man this did not disappoint. . I would definitely eat this again. I shared with my co worker since they had a BOGO free uber promotion. But if it wasn't for him I would have definitely DESTROYED both of them ! Definitely recommend. * eats crumbs off paper hoping for more

Ribeye Cheesesteak
Connor Y.

Oui Melrose is it cool eatery located in the Hollywood area and they have tons of options. My food got here relatively fast. I'm pretty far away from it so great service on that front and they had to buy one get one free, which is always great. So I got a cheesesteak and I have a pretty high standard for cheesesteaks. In my opinion, the bread could've been a little bit more toasted the steak a tad bit more seasoning and it could've been saucier. The meat had good texture and consistency, and I didn't feel like there was enough cheese on it.Like I thought it should've been oozing cheese. I would try it again, but I feel like I should make some more changes to it to better and improve my experience.

The inside

I was craving a good sandwich and this spot popped up on yelp. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and burgers. I went with their highly-regarded chicken parm with bolognese. It came nicely baked, with the bread and the cheese on top being baked to that perfect crisp and texture. The marinated chicken and the all-beef bolognese being paired together, tasted truly incredible. Definitely one of the top chicken bolognese sandwiches that I've had. The spot itself is small, with 4 little tables and a bar seating area. The customer service was solid and on point. Would come back again!

Banana Cream Donut
Lux P.

THE BEST DOUGHNUT I HAVE EVER HAD! Wow, was this bakery one of my favourite stops during my trip to LA! I am absolutely in love with this place and go over everytime! You're greeted with a smile right when you walk in and the staff is so beyond kind. The food was just the best quality and you can taste it in their dough and meats! When you're either craving a good sandwich or a good donut trust me this is the place to go in the city! If I were to go again I know exactly what I would get and hope they still have it! The Chicken Gyro and the Banana Cream Donut! 10/10 recommend!!!

Are there vegan options?

Lots of fries options. Sticky tofu, and salads. But for sandwiches there are only a few to choose from.

We were a party of 6, but 2 were lagging soooo hard for our reservation, and we weren't allowed to be seated until everyone showed up. I think the servers felt bad for us lol so they seated us after 25 minutes or so. By that time, I ordered their Espresso Martini which was delicious! They described it as "smoky and not too sweet." The restaurant itself has a very industrial warehouse kinda vibe to it, which was cool. Very laidback but upscale environment, dress up or dress down, it's totally up to you. My group ordered family style. We ordered... - Appetizers: 'spicy handroll' dip, goat empanadas, goat liver mousse - Veggies: roasted carrots, wood-fired sprouted cauliflower, sautéed green beans, grilled corn - Salad: shrimp & crispy greens salad, - Fish: pan roasted salmon, roasted oysters, - Meat: grilled kalbi-style short ribs, lamb curry - Dessert: matcha tres leches, mango sticky rice Honestly, if I were to do the same family style again, I would make sure I got a good taste of everything again. If I were to choose one of each category though, I'd go with spicy handroll dip as my favorite appetizer, sauteed green beans, I'll try the other salad option (the shrimp & crispy greens salad was really lemon-ey, almost too much), salmon was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the kalbi-style good was impressive and fall off the bone, andddd I can't really complain about either of the desserts. Everyone ended up splitting, it was maybe....$175 per person? Not too bad.

The food lagged and the dishes were not as delicious as they used to be. Green beans: this dish used to be my favorite dish and I always order for the table. Unfortunately, the dish was super salty and did not taste like is has previously. I let the waiter and waitress know but they didn't offer anything besides an apology Grilled Dorade and Naan with dip: these were the highlights of the show and items I also always order for the table. S'mores dessert: we ordered a s'mores dessert and it was a super small deconstructed s'more with one marshmallow. The graham cracker was almost a thin pretzel and had overwhelming cinnamon flavor. This dish was disappointing and the size for a child. The restaurant is beautiful, but the food and service were not up to the same caliber as usual during yesterday's dinner.

This is a GREAT launching point for an evening in the area. Dinner, drinks, live music... what's not to like? First, parking. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area, but finding a spot on a busy Friday night might require some patience. Fortunately, Manuela offers valet parking for $22, which instantly solves that problem! Finding the restaurant is part of the adventure. Tucked away within the Hauser & Wirth art gallery complex, you make your way through what feels like a little alley before discovering this hidden gem. The atmosphere is idellic! Manuela has a cool industrial-meets-rustic vibe, with exposed brick, interesting artwork, warm lighting, and plenty of greenery. The open kitchen adds energy, while the beautiful outdoor courtyard offers a more relaxed setting. A terrific combination of art, architecture, and dining! Our waiter, Luke, did a great job shepherding us through the evening. Truth be told, I never even looked at the menu! I put my trust in Luke, and he certainly didn't steer us wrong. The chicken was OUTSTANDING! Beautifully roasted, exceptionally moist, tender, and loaded with flavor. The accompanying sauces added just enough kick, and the portion was GENEROUS! My wife and I split the chicken, and there was plenty for both of us. We paired it with a delicious arugula salad featuring fresh pears, creamy goat cheese, spiced pecans, and aged balsamic. A wonderful combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy. The pecans were particularly good! To wash it all down, I enjoyed their refreshing white sangria. Light, fruity, and VERY tasty. I could have easily enjoyed another! Now, a couple of observations. The atmosphere can get LOUD. We had a long table for six, and those seated at either end occasionally had to strain to hear the conversation. Of course, maybe I'm just getting old? LOL! Either way, it's a lively restaurant, so don't expect a quiet, intimate evening when the place is hopping. Another interesting twist: the restrooms aren't directly connected to the restaurant. You'll need to step outside and head across the way. Not a big deal, just something worth knowing. Speaking of the restrooms, ladies, apparently there's some rather unusual wall art awaiting you. Keep your eyes open for what looks like a chocolate-colored garden gnome crossed with Chewbacca. And take a CLOSE look at the interesting adult toy he appears to have discovered in the garden. Let's just say it's definitely NOT a carrot! LOL! Apparently, even the bathroom art has a sense of humor. Bottom line: We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Manuela. Excellent food, terrific service from Luke, a unique atmosphere, and an ideal location for a night out in the Arts District. The chicken alone is worth coming back for! Great food, good friends, live music afterward, and apparently a naughty garden gnome. I'd call that a successful Friday night!

I must admit that this review is long overdue!…read more I have dined here at least 3 times with my latest at the chef's counter on a Friday evening and was the perfect date night spot. I lucked out with reservations on OpenTable last minute when they released a bunch of counter availability. Which is crazy since it's so hard to get a reservation that isn't at 9:45pm. My only concern was that we might be seated in front of the fire stove where the majority of the cooking is done because it can get hot and coupled with the the summer weather, I was worried about sweating lol. Luckily, we were seated at the opposite end and had the best view and enjoyed watching the chefs prep our meal. They don't serve cocktails here, just wine, and we started with two glasses of bubbly, which were delicious! However, when we tried to transition to the other wines available by the glass, none of them tasted that great and almost tasted too acidic or maybe had too many tanins for my liking. As a result, we reverted back to the sparkling wine. However, I do want to take a moment to express how amazing our server was because he was kind enough to let us sample all the reds by the glass before we committed to a glass. Also, I appreciated that he didn't chastise us when we didn't end up liking any of them. However, I absolutely love the food here! The one thing that you must get is the CORNBREAD! It's nothing like you've ever had before and is their signature dish. It's comforting, it's buttery and feels like home. I've also gotten the Pork and Green Chili Stew which is amazing (think Chile Verde). I've also tried their Ribeye, and for the price, I'm not sure that it's my favorite item on the menu. For my most recent visit, we ordered the following: Bluefin Tuna Toast - This was light and refreshing, but also filling since it sits on a slice of bread. This was enjoyable but I preferred the Baby Albacore. Baby Albacore - This is such a small dish and I think it only has six slices of fish, but it has so much depth of flavor and so much texture with the crispy shallots that we were tempted to order another one! This is a beautifully executed dish. And the best part was that we got to watch it being prepared in front of us. Mushroom Crusted Pork Chop - I had been reading that this was such an amazing dish, so I made sure to try it this time around! It did not disappoint! It was incredibly flavorful and rich. My boyfriend, who is not a fan of pork really enjoyed this dish. Sliced market tomatoes - this is a no-frills side dish, but felt that this was a perfect balance as something fresh and light against the rich and fattiness of the pork chop. I was worried that this would not be enough food for the two of us since I have a big appetite, but suffice to say I was very satisfied! The service is here is outstanding! I wish I got the name of my server, but he reminded me of Teddy Swims! He was attentive, friendly, and very accommodating! It was the best service I've had in a while! One last thing, I didn't try any desserts this time around, but I still very fondly remember the passionfruit icebox cake... Please bring that back!!!

Good Food, Questionable Soul…read more Dunsmoor is a good restaurant. There's no denying that. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the ingredients are clearly taken seriously, and the space itself is beautifully executed. You can tell a tremendous amount of effort went into creating the experience, from the kitchen to the architecture. But there's something about this place that doesn't quite sit right with me. Los Angeles is a city built on contradictions, and Dunsmoor feels like another one of them. An ambitious, upscale dining experience planted in a neighborhood with an entirely different cultural identity. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Great food belongs everywhere. But there's a fine line between contributing to a neighborhood and feeling disconnected from it. Maybe it's the atmosphere. Maybe it's the crowd. Maybe it's simply the experience I had that evening. Whatever it was, I couldn't shake the feeling that something about the place lacked authenticity. Not the food, and certainly not the employees, who deserve credit for their work. More so the social environment. There's a particular kind of performative sophistication that Los Angeles does exceptionally well, and unfortunately, Dunsmoor seems to attract a bit of it. Then there's the pricing. I appreciate good food, and I respect the labor and craftsmanship behind it. But this is Los Angeles, a city where some of the most extraordinary meals you'll ever eat come from kitchens charging a fraction of the price. When you're paying upwards of $40 for an entrée, you're paying for more than what's on the plate. Ultimately, Dunsmoor delivers on its culinary ambitions. The food is good, the execution is impressive, and the restaurant itself is undeniably attractive. But good food doesn't automatically make for a great experience. Sometimes a restaurant can get everything technically right and still leave you feeling like something essential is missing. That's Dunsmoor for me.

His advice: "go in the morning, their cakes and pastries are killer; a long line forms even before they open, it will be worth it" it's hard to not go broke here, they have sometimes unnusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husband's favorite, its a bit much for me but I cannot deny its beauty and quality. I love all the passion fruit desserts, their danishes, anything with Caramel is also my husband's jam. Come hungry, eat something here, take some home.

A few weeks later, I gave them another shot, and OMG, the French toast was so good! It was crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. Hands down, one of the best French toasts I've ever had! The other dishes I tried were disappointing, but the French toast alone made me glad I came back. Just make sure to get there early before they sell out!
