California is a great place to shop! Therefore, a great thing to do in Los Angeles is to go to Fred Segal, a mini department store with two locations in the city: Santa Monica and West Hollywood, on the famous Melrose Place. Elegant and pleasant, you will find clothes and accessories, both women’s and men’s, as well as home and decoration items. Furthermore, Fred Segal’s restaurant in Melrose is a super delicious Italian bistro, Mauro Cafe, especially at lunch time. Therefore, a complete program: shopping and gastronomy! Take the opportunity to also read about what to do in NYC in the summer and three new attractions in the city.

The department store restaurant in Los Angeles
I really like having lunch at Mauro Cafe, inside the Melrose Place store, in fact, a cute Italian restaurant, with great food and frequented by locals. In other words, a mix of artists, designers and executives. A worthwhile trip: shopping in Los Angeles with a good restaurant!
Finally, being a point in LA, several series and films have used the store as a location or mentioned it in their stories, such as, for example, Entourage, Legally Blond, Dawson’s Creeks, The L World, The OC, etc. So, did you enjoy getting to know a little about Fred Segal and Mauro Cafe? Let’s go shopping in Los Angeles?
