Beachcomber Cafe Description:
Located in the Crystal Cove Historic District, the Beachcomber is perhaps Orange County's best on-the-beach restaurant. Nestled among the cliffs and cottages at '40s-era Crystal Cove, it sits as a tribute to the eclectic village of artists and families who once lived here. Set in a Craftsman-style bungalow, the eatery is not just a casual café with a view. Some come here for Southern-style coffee and beignets on foggy early mornings, or maybe the brioche french toast. The lunch and dinner menus change seasonally and include some organic ingredients. Start with clam chowder or the mixed organic baby greens with a red wine-Dijon vinaigrette. Entrée standouts include the maple-glazed salmon rubbed with ancho chili and the grilled pork chop coated with a house barbecue sauce. If you come at sunset, which is highly recommended, you'll be on time to witness the raising of the restaurant's "martini" flag, a tradition started by the original cottage dwellers. Visitors must park at the Los Trancos parking lot located on the east side of Pacific Coast Highway and take The Beachcomber Shuttle to access the restaurant.
