In the beginning it was a tiny chameau in silverlake on hyperion avenue. The restaurant was opened three days a week on weekends for dinner only, along with being BYOB. Then three years later a site for the new restaurant was found in a long established deli shop on the busy Fairfax avenue. The potential of Fairfax was clear to us beneath all the forgotten shops. Thus began the work of the transformation of chameau in late august 2004. Now we are part of the changing Fairfax district, our neighbors include diamond bakery, produce and fish markets, jewelry and convenience stores along with the world famous canter’s deli.

Chameau is a 54 seat restaurant featuring French Moroccan cuisine. The restaurant is opened for dinner six days a week, Tuesday through Saturday. We serve a seasonal menu along with beer and wine. The décor is modern Moroccan. For patrons interested in taking some of the tastes of Chameau home with them, we also sell our marinated olives, harissa sauce, preserved lemon dip, eggplant dip and argan oil.
