Our Hakola & Associates real estate team has helped numerous buyers find their dream home in Newport Beach. This Orange County community has access to some of the best beaches in the world, along with incredible shopping and dining options, and gorgeous sunny weather year-round!
When you don’t feel like cooking at home, not only are your dining options endless in Newport Beach, but you’ve got an abundance of al fresco options. Al fresco is an Italian phrase meaning “dining out of doors.” In a world where the sun is shining and the waves are crashing onto the shore, why would you want to dine indoors? Take advantage of the numerous outdoor patios by grabbing your next bite to eat at a local Newport Beach restaurant!
To help you choose one, here are some of our favorite choices:
1. Babette’s – Even if you get chilly at night, Babette’s has you covered on their outdoor patio. Choose a seat under a glamorous umbrella, or snag a spot near a heater lamp or near the fireplace. The private patio is surrounded with lush greenery, and in the evening, shimmering candles. Enjoy eating locally-grown, seasonal and organic food options while sitting outside, the way nature intended.
2. Zinc Café & Market – This is the perfect option for someone on the go, as it is quick and right off Pacific Coast Highway. Grab a delicious, healthy breakfast or lunch, or just a baked good and cup of coffee, and enjoy while sitting out on the patio surrounded by plants and vines. They’ve got a great selection of soups and chili, salads, pizza, breakfast items, coffee drinks, wine and beer!
3. Café Beau Soleil – France is known for their sidewalk cafes, and here’s a French-inspired café right in Newport Beach. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner, or a coffee and pastry, and enjoy it on the outdoor patio, outlined with a quaint white picket fence. This is a great place to people watch, as it is right in all the action on Newport Center Drive. Dogs are welcome to join diners on the patio, as well!
4. Sapori Restaurant – When looking for a fine dining experience, while still enjoying the fresh air, here you can get the best of both worlds. Savor Mediterranean cuisine while dining at tables adorned with fancy linen and cloth napkins. The sun will stay out of your eyes, thanks to a fabric ceiling, and greenery fills in the spaces along the edges. Sip from their extensive wine list while enjoying your meal.
These are just a few of your many options for al fresco dining in Newport Beach and all around Orange County! Take advantage of beautiful weather year-round by savoring your next meal in the fresh outdoor air. Do you have a favorite restaurant with an outdoor patio? Leave a comment and share!
