Richard Makinadjian recently opened a second branch of Salades de Provence on the Terrace of the prestigious Frédéric Fekkai Beverly Hills. Fekkai approached Makinadjian about becoming his in-house restaurant after sampling the food from the West Hollywood original.

Eric Martirossian (Makinadjian’s cousin) and Alain Kalandar (his friend) wrote the menu, which revolves around 15 entrée salads that all utilize organic baby mixed greens. Imported French cheeses also play a key role. Here’s a sampling of what to expect:

L’assiette Cezanne – $14.95 – organic curly lettuce and lamb’s lettuce served with a tartine of Poilâne loaf with Saint Marcelin cheese and rosemary, smoked duck breast, roasted potatoes, candied raisins, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, pine nuts, shallots, olive oil vinaigrette, cider, and provencal honey

Saveurs Méditerranéennes – $11.95 – grilled eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers served with organic seasonal salad, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, polenta, shredded parmesan, pine nuts, fresh basil, fresh tomato sauce and olive oil

Tartine de Cassis – $10.95 – smoked salmon, dill crème fraiche served on toasted Poilâne bread tartine
Crêpe du Luberon – $8.95 – scrambled eggs, bacon Emmenthal cheese wrapped in a crepe
Tarte Tatin avec sa crème fraîche – $6.95 – French caramelized apple pie
