Chez Melange is an American seafood restaurant and gastropub located in Redondo Beach, California. It was opened in 1982 and owned and run by Michael Franks and co-owner and head chef Robert Bell.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

History

Chez Melange was originally located on Pacific Coast Highway and after the lease was up it moved to its current location in January 2009 on Catalina Avenue.[10]

Chez Melange runs three restaurants at the same venue, Sea Change, a sea food themed restaurant, Bouzy, a gastropub and The Oyster Bar.[2][10]

Head chef and co-owner Robert Bell said when first meeting Franks "I remembered thinking, I don’t want to work with this guy. I’m from Brooklyn, he’s from London. He came from what I thought was an upscale upbringing, I was just off the line of being poor. He went through restaurant school, I barely made it through junior college. But we were both very driven, very passionate about what we were doing, and that’s the only reason we got along."[11]
