Avoid the long flight to Europe and go to LA’s Chez Mia instead!

Located on Melrose Ave, Marissa Hermer’s new restaurant has been described as “transporting” guests to the South of France with art found in the Côte d’Azur and fresh takes on classic French cocktails and dishes.

“The artwork of Chez Mia, in particular, is a scrapbook of my favorite places and moments in Provence, [France,]” Hermer, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly. “And, naturally, there’s the food and drink at Chez Mia. Light, bright and super fresh are the guidelines, just like the South of France … with a Hugo Spritz in hand, of course.”

“One component that I wanted to draw on was emulating the walls of the La Colombe d’Or H๏τel in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where works from Picᴀsso, Miró and Matisse hang, as the artists exchanged their artwork for meals and lodging,” Hermer said. “In the same way, I’ve worked with local artist friends to create artwork for Chez Mia, in return for meals on us. Justine Carrol — my high school roommate from boarding school in Monterey — is one example of this; she painted an oil rendering of the reflection of the Calder, inspired by a pH๏τo I took on one of my last trips.”

Since the Ladies of London star’s restaurant opened in October 2024, it has already turned into the city’s new H๏τspot. Celebs like Kevin Costner, Christine Chiu, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kathy Hilton, Al Pacino, Rosanna Arquette, Laura Dern and Maria Menounos have all been spotted at Chez Mia.

However, Chez Mia is meant to be an “oasis” and welcomes all guests, not just LA’s A-listers. “When our patrons walk in our front gate, they’re all treated as Chez Mia VIPs,” Hermer said. “You’re at your home away from home here.”
