About Orange County, CA Restaurants

Restaurants

With Orange County's disposable income and proximity to LA, it's practically guaranteed that exquisite restaurants will be prominent. And with California's focus on fresh produce and local ingredients, you can bet that the cuisine will be memorable. A prime illustration of the bounty comes at Napa Rose, the restaurant at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel® that is widely venerated for its amazing food and stellar wine list. Resort dining is also an indulgent treat at Michael Mina's Stonehill Tavern in Dana Point, which boasts a siren's call in the form of beautiful food, beautiful people, and a beautiful space. The shared culinary techniques of French and Californian food are displayed to wonderful effect in more of the county's top eateries. Balboa Island's Basilic Restaurant and Brea's La Vie en Rose are Continental delights, as charming and romantic as they are delicious. Gorgeous views, Californian cuisine, and soothing interiors are the seductive draw at the Ritz-Carlton's Restaurant 162', which plies diners with perfectly prepared seafood. For a funkier, more global-inflected version of the Golden State's contributions, try Café Zoolu, and be prepared to swoon in response to the sassy delights. Orange County knows how to serve a fabulous steak too, as places like Mastro's prove, and even if you're low on funds, you don't have to resign yourself to ramen: Zankou offers mouthwatering rotisserie chicken and baklava at less-than-California prices.
