Raspoutine Los Angeles

Raspoutine sits on Melrose Avenue, tucked among the steady churn of local shopping. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from the bright, open crowds at The Grove, trading that scale for a more condensed room.

The space focuses on a mix of French and sushi menus that pivot into a club environment as the night shifts. While the room runs smart and elegant, it moves faster than the standard dining addresses nearby. It is a more deliberate choice than the sprawling venues at the far end of the street; you come here for a night that starts with dinner and stays in the same chair until the dance floor takes over.
