A mystery! When longtime local favorite Caffe Roma closed at 350 N Canon Dr. in Beverly Hills, it left a gaping hole in the block. Window paper has gone up announcing the replacement restaurant as Oltremare. However, an ABC application recently went up on the front listing the new business as Spruce and Oak. I can’t find much on either name, so if you know more pass it along.
It appears a new breezy French charmer is moving into the space at 453 N Canon Dr., most recently home to LA’s branch of Tatel. The name of the new restaurant is Azur, and the website describes it as French Mediterranean. While we’re waiting for the promised “treasured experience, beyond laid-back summer living”, put yourself in the mood by checking out their trop cool Spotify playlist here.

It’s always sad when Beverly Hills loses one of its historic dining institutions…. I’m hearing from shocked readers that celebrity hangout and industry powerhouse Palm Restaurant has closed its legendary doors at 267 N Canon Dr Suite A7. I went by to gaze upon its faded glory, and sure enough, all signs have been pulled down from the iconic steakhouse. I’ll keep my eyes on the location to see what may develop, but in the meantime, read about their storied history and get very, very nostalgic…
(Thanks Jonny!)
Local java darling Boulon D’Amour is heading to Beverly Hills. There’s a sign up already at 319 N Canon Dr, formerly home to Le Mervetty French Pastry Shop. Boulon D’Amour (which translates from French as “bolt of love”) currently has two other locations, including their charming first shop on Washington Blvd. Expect a menu of various coffees, teas, signature drinks, and toasts.
The space at 345 N Canon Dr. in Beverly Hills has been a number of different things, including a hair salon and whatever this was. There’s now an ABC application on the front, indicating that a plucky new contender is about the give the location a go. The name of the new eatery is listed as Cavcas Restaurant. Other than that, I can’t seem to find much information. If you know more, let me know…
Update: Cavcas appears to be a Georgian restaurant. Read more about it here.
