Jolie
Located in a shopping center perched on a Bel Air mountain, the diminutive Bistro Jolie packs a strong visual punch replete with high ceilings, a long, striking cocktail bar and a grand pitched skylight. The palette of the dining room architecture feels sun-kissed with batten molding on the exposed surfaces referencing the building heritage of seaside culture.

SIZE2,700 sq. ft. interior
The cocktail bar is the focal point of the space and draws direct design inspiration from the craftsmanship, details and finishing of wooden speed boats popular in the mid-century Mediterranean.
Brass elements used in various details add a bit of timeless luxury and plays beautifully off the dark, rich walnut and marble tables.
The space is finished with a lushness of plant life dotting the skylight, booth seating wall and stand-alone planters.
