South Coast

We don't come here for the quality of the service - Seasurf Fish Co operates like a fast-food restaurant - but for the quality of the seafood and fish. Our favorite is the warm lobster roll served with melted butter: generous, tasty... Everything we love! You'll also find poke bowls, tacos and burritos, as well as grilled fish, pasta and salads. The catch: these fresh products are served in disposable trays and plates, with disposable cutlery. A good choice for a quick lunch between two visits.

Healthy, gourmet dishes: that's the challenge taken up by this excellent address, located in the heart of Laguna Beach. Take a seat at one of the tables on the small, flower-filled terrace for a tasty spinach, feta and roasted tomato omelette, avocado toast, a poached egg, fromage frais and avocado bowl, or delicious muffins, scones and cookies in a variety of flavors. Excellent value for money. The only drawback is the lack of an ocean view, generally sought after by daytime visitors.

This excellent address stands out first of all by its very successful decoration, in an industrial style where the leather design chairs blend perfectly with the metallic and woody touches. One goes here to feast on fresh fish and seafood, whose varieties change according to the day's arrival. Among the must-try dishes: oyster platters, delicious ceviche, octopus a la plancha, crab cake, clam chowder, or fish n' chips. All in a friendly atmosphere, far from the stuffy oyster bars.

This institution opened in 1967 by a couple of locals serves typical breakfasts, which can be enjoyed outside or in a room with walls saturated with small frames organized around a surfboard. Besides pancakes, omelets, eggs Benedict, toast and egg and meat plates, there are the house specialties. The most popular, Michele - named after the owner, who is also the founders' daughter - is grilled chicken breast served with scrambled eggs, peppers and tomatoes.

You're on the embarcadero, facing the bay. Fish are fresh and the card varies according to fishing and seasonal products. We appreciate not only the kitchen but also the refined decoration surrounding the theme of the sea. A secure value and a friendly setting. Ideal for a lunch after the visit of the USS Midway or the Maritime Museum.

Nestled on the north side of Main Street, near Pacific Coast Highway, this address lends itself particularly well to an early-morning breakfast, a brunch, or an early-afternoon sweet break. From traditional two eggs any style to Benedicts and omelettes, eggs come in all shapes and sizes. The Crema Cafe also offers a wide selection of pancakes, crepes and waffles, as well as viennoiseries on display. All in all, a friendly establishment with a shady terrace set away from the street.

The specialty of this chain also established in La Jolla and Encinitas: the Lobster Roll, this famous sandwich originating from the East Coast. In concrete terms, it is a brioche bun filled with lobster, to which grilled cheese can be added. Lobster West offers two other versions: crab and shrimp. He also serves delicious soups, with lobster bisque, New England clams, or Maryland crab. For dessert: Whoopie Pies. A good address, very affordable for seafood of this quality.

This huge restaurant offers 3 sides open on the harbour. Whether you are on the outdoor terrace or on the closed side, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the dam and go to the boats. Wind & Sea is known for its fish & chips, its soup of clams and its squid but also for its cocktail May Tai. It would have sold nearly 3 million since the opening in 1972. A record in the surrounding area.

This beautiful fish restaurant is located on the harbor where you can take the ferry to Balboa Island. If weather permits (almost always the case) ask for a table outside, on the deck all in length, which allows to admire sailboats and the quiet wave in the sunset or through a beautiful day of blue sky. The kitchen is simple and tasty (vegetarian and meat dishes also available) and the atmosphere is family.

Orange County's best fish taco! This is one of the trophies attributed to Bear Flag Fich Co. Created in 2007 by fishing enthusiasts, this fish store welcomes a restaurant with a very relaxed atmosphere, with extremely fresh products.

In addition to its stores, the mall is home to a food hall, Lot 579, which hosts a dozen bars and restaurants. From The American Dream's burgers to Frosted Cupcakery's sweet treats, Hans Homemade Ice Cream, Phans55's Vietnamese specialties, vomFass's refined cocktails and Four Sons Brewing's local craft beer, Pacific City is home to a significant portion of Huntington Beach's nightlife, all within walking distance of the beach. It's also a daytime hangout between surf sessions.
