We love Orange County, California! Beaches. Good Weather. Shopping.

And the restaurants though!?!?! Let’s talk about the restaurants. You have to try these 7 restaurants. In no particular order, here are the best places to eat. NOBU, NEWPORT Ever heard of it??? Japanese celebrity chef 'Nobuyuki Matsuhisa' and partner Robert Deniro, serve Nikkei dishes (otherwise known as Japanese-Peruvian fusion), and traditional Japanese dishes. Trendy dinner scene and the food is great.

A RESTAURANT Yea it's called A restaurant, but it's fabulous. Classic American eatery, the food A+. Go for dinner. We could eat here on the regular.

MAMA DS Italian, laid-back, casual atmosphere. Really popular with locals because of its incredible service. We like to stop in for dinner for the best ravioli in orange county.

JAVIER’S RESTAURANT Gorgeous patio scene! Great service. We love the guacamole with the al pastor taco. They have good tequila too. Lunch or dinner is perfect at this place.

GULFSTREAM RESTAURANT Seafood restaurant, happy hour is from 3pm-6pm.

Go for the oysters and margs! It’s super laid back, al-fresco dining, ocean views, indoor and outdoor seating. DIN TAI FUNG Do yourself a favor and go for the dumplings and let us know if you ever find dumplings better in North America!!! This is a Taiwan chain famed for its Shanghai-style soup dumplings & noodles, serving up traditional Taiwanese and Chinese dishes. It's worth the long wait.

BUDDHA'S FAVORITE SUSHI Nothing beats sushi on the water. This upbeat spot serves the freshest fish without the Nobu pricetag.
