My 25 Favorite Restaurants, Bars and Hidden Gems in Orange County, California



              
My 25 Favorite Restaurants, Bars and Hidden Gems in Orange County, California 

Orange County has an incredible variety of places to eat, from inexpensive neighborhood restaurants and authentic international food to upscale steakhouses, breweries, and bakeries. This is my personal list of 25 favorite places around Orange County. Some are hidden gems, others are well established local favorites, and a few are small restaurant chains. I've included everything from casual takeout spots to expensive restaurants worth visiting for a special occasion.

Butcher's House Brasserie Costa Mesa

If you told me you were visiting Orange County for just one day and wanted to splurge on one great meal, I'd tell you to go to Butcher's House Brasserie. Their dry aged ribeye is the best steak I've ever had in my life, and the French onion soup is absolute perfection. It's just a really good French restaurant with incredible food, a relaxed atmosphere, with none of the pretentiousness you might expect from a French steakhouse. This is my favorite restaurant in Orange County.
