Laguna Beach dining?
 

Anyone have any suggestions on how we can get some food in Laguna before we see the Pageant of the Masters tonight? Is it going to be a mob scene in the area? We'll probably be in the area around 7:00 and would like to grab a bite, preferably some sort of informal dining that's not fast food since we need to be parking around 8, 8:15 for the 8:30 pageant.

Hit up Aud or NM, there is a Belgian place down there that they like. I think it's Brussels Bistro.

Below is a list of sites of restaurants down there that a friend recommended to me. I'm running out the door or I'd make it pretty for you.

It will be a mob scene. Plan out where you are going to park ahead of time. They have remote lots with shuttles that run to get you to the venue.

Brussels bistro is great for something light and good beers. There is a killer sushi place called san shi go and a very good Italian place called ti amo. The French place next to hotel Laguna is also good, but might be busy on a Friday. Hotel Laguna's patio is a fun place to get a drink overlooking the ocean. I think they have apps too but I have never eaten there.

You can usually park about 2 blocks off PCH without having to deal with meters (free) on Park ave. Locals tend to know about it but not tourists.

Enjoy. Wish I was going with!

San Shi Go! That's the name of the sushi place I was thinking of. There is also a good Mexican place next door.

There is always Las Brisas. Might be the Mexican place your thinking of.

Las Brisas is great, but I wouldn't consider it "informal dining."

No, it's not Las Brisas. It's next door to San Shi Go and it's informal.

Las Brisas is a bit pricey and rather snooty, but good mixed drinks and interesting people watching of the plastic crowd.

Olamendi's?
