CELEBRATE MELISSE’S 25th ANNIVERSARY
SUNDAY, JULY 14th, 2024
With immense pride and gratitude, we invite you to celebrate a truly momentous milestone – Mélisse's 25th Anniversary! This landmark occasion holds even greater significance as it falls on July 14th, Bastille Day, the very same day Mélisse first opened its doors back in 1999.
To commemorate, we're hosting a grand cocktail party on July 14th at 5:00pm at Mélisse & Citrin. It will be a wonderful evening filled with reminiscing, celebrating achievements, and connecting with many of the culinary artists who have been a part of the Mélisse journey and the greater Los Angeles dining scene.
We will have canapés by 19 chefs across LA, wine and cocktails available, a raffle to support Stop the Void, and more. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
