A Taste of France in Newport

12.28.09

Transport yourself to France with a meal at Pescadou Bistro in Newport Beach. Once inside the warm and inviting restaurant, tucked away on Newport Boulevard, you might actually forget you’re in Orange County. Owners Jacques and Olga de Quillien are gracious hosts of the longtime eatery—they’ve been offering their popular Blackboard Specials (3-course dinners for $29) before the prix-fixe craze hit restaurants in the area. The Onglet steak, with shallots in a red-wine reduction ($21), is steak done right and the magret, a roasted duck breast with a green peppercorn sauce, is another stellar pick ($25).  Photo via OC Register.

Piping hot deals

12.28.09

Cold weather is always a compelling reason for a bowl of hot soup. And nowhere might it be hotter than at Gyu-Kaku in Huntington Beach. While the popular Japanese-Korean BBQ chain is known for its yakiniku or chargrilled meats, a must-try is the goma negi udon ($8)—the savory noodle soup arrives bubbling from a substantial stone bowl so thick and heavy that the broth won’t grow tepid before the last slurp. It will warm you from head-to-toe! The Happy Hour at Gyu-Kaku is also beloved by locals: from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to closing, enjoy $3 saketinis and 99 cent-mugs of Kirin draft beer; 50% off all appetizers and $5 BBQ meat plates. Come in on New Year’s Day, all BBQ meats will be 50% off!

Gyu-Kaku is located at 7862 Warner Ave. in Huntington Beach
714.842.8333
Hours:
Lunch: Fri, Sat & Sun 12 p.m.–4 p.m.
Dinner: Mon–Thu 5 p.m.–11 p.m.; Fri & Sat 4 p.m.–midnight*
