Lielle opened on February 12, 2026, in the former Bicyclette space at 9575 W. Pico Boulevard in the Pico‑Robertson/Beverlywood area of Los Angeles. (observer.com) (theinfatuation.com) Chef Marcus Jernmark arrives with a pedigree that includes time at Frantzén — the Stockholm restaurant that holds three Michelin stars — and a stint at Aquavit in New York. (observer.com) (wallpaper.com) The dining room seats 42 and the house format is a four‑course prix‑fixe set at $150 per person, with menus that Jernmark describes as seasonally driven California fare built on a Nordic backbone. (la.eater.com) (lielle.la) Jernmark plans a companion concept, Marée, to open next door later in 2026 as part of a two‑venue project at the Pico site. (falstaff.com) Design details include a roughly 2,300‑square‑foot dining room with merlot‑hued leather banquettes, a cork‑lined ceiling and a prominent wine cellar said to showcase more than 300 labels. (surfacemag.com) (falstaff.com) Early coverage highlights specific dishes—an aged squab with fermented yuzu and a rum‑soaked sticky bun—plus a popular optional add‑on, a sea‑urchin spaghetti priced at $54. (theinfatuation.com) Lielle positions itself as “relaxed, guest‑centered” family‑style dining and is taking reservations and bookings through its official website.
