Perch Los Angeles

Perch sits at 448 S Hill St. It serves French and Mediterranean cuisine.

The verticality here is the point: while neighbors on the ground level focus on the bustle of the pavement, this venue turns its back on the sidewalk to prioritize the skyline. It is a more deliberate way to experience the city than the commercial hubs on Melrose Avenue. If you want to escape the pedestrian traffic of the Original Farmers Market or The Grove, the elevation provides a separation that those ground-floor institutions cannot match. It is dressier than the casual bistros found throughout this part of town, making it the choice when you prefer the view to be as much a part of the evening as the meal.
