7 Best Food Places in Orange County

  1. The Old Spaghetti Factory – Newport Beach

If you’re looking for traditional Italian food to satisfy your craving, then head over to The Old Spaghetti Factory! This space is great to host big parties for special occasions. I highly recommend trying the Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter as your sauce choice!

  1. Alessa – Laguna Beach

Alessa is another Italian favorite located down the street from Main Beach. This restaurant spot can get crowded though, so make sure to call ahead and get your name on the list! Their gnocchi is top notch, so definitely test out this special dish.

  1. Carmelita’s Kitchen – Rancho Santa Margarita

On the hunt for quality Mexican food? Carmelita’s Kitchen has a variety of awesome choices. The best part about this restaurant is its prime location. The outside dining area sits right on the Rancho Santa Margarita Lake, so head over on a warm night to get a table outside!

  1. The Loft – Laguna Beach

Enjoy great American food with a breathtaking view over at The Loft. This food spot is great for brunch, lunch, or dinner, so head over anytime! Don’t forget to make a reservation!

  1. Anaheim Packing District – Anaheim

Not sure what type of food you’re in the mood for? Head over to the Anaheim Packing District and choose from over 20 merchants! They’ve got crêpes, Indian flavors, authentic Italian options, all sorts of comfort foods, and much much more!!

  1. Urth Caffé – Laguna Beach

Another hot spot in Laguna Beach is Urth Caffé. If you’re sticking to a nutritious diet then test out Urth’s sandwich and salad options. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then Urth has plenty of baked goods for you. I recommend trying their Thai Boba tea or a fresh fruit smoothie!

  1. Sundried Tomato – San Juan Capistrano & San Clemente

This American Bistro is often overlooked, but their food will definitely satisfy any craving! For first-timers, I recommend the Comfort Combo. There’s nothing better than grilled cheese and creamy tomato soup.
