Dining
Welcome to the Jungle!
02.03.12
Pita Jungle, the newest restaurant in Newport Beach dedicated to the art of eating healthy specializes in made from scratch Mediterranean dishes with a twist. The Arizona based award-winning eatery is already a local favorite for those looking for a sit-down health conscious restaurant with fair prices, and a full bar. We’re loving the artistic hip interior, from the glazed concrete flooring, exposed white ceiling, repurposed table stands, to the second-hand chairs and stunning resin art panel. (It’s hard to believe this once housed a Blockbuster Video store.)
The extensive menu covers special diets like vegan and vegetarian options, and be sure to try the chicken tikka masala in coconut masala served over brown rice with fresh pea sprouts; cilantro jalapeno hummus with pita; wood-fired fresh salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and wilted spinach; and our favorite pizzas: the chipotle chicken lavosh pizza; and roasted garlic and portabella pizza with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, feta cheese, basil, herbs, Kalamata olives, and parmigiano regianno cheese. Other choices include hot and cold pita sandwiches, composed salads, healthy burgers, combination plates, wood-fired pizza, pita wraps, and specials.
Daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. offers specials on tapas and drinks. Open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
1200 Bison Ave in Newport Beach. 949.706.7711.
Flyaway to the Kitchen

Local travelers flying in and out of John Wayne Airport can now dine at Javier's new concept restaurant, Javi's, and the first Anaheim Ducks Breakaway Bar & Grill in the new Terminal C Marketplace.
Javi's will offer fresh seafood and regional dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including fresh salsa and tortillas. Popular favorites like nachos, quesadillas and taquitos are also offered. Javi's has a Baja-resort ambience with a tequila tree featuring 25 premium tequilas.
The Anaheim Ducks Breakaway Bar & Grill is ideal for sports fans with its memorabilia and flat screen TV’s showing game highlights. The menu offers a varied selection of items like spicy wings, charcuterie plate, flatbread pizzas, and entrée size salads. Travelers can also sip on hand-crafted signature cocktails, including the 10-Minute Misconduct made with 10 Cane, Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur, pineapple and Sprite.
