Zov’s Debuts New Brunch Menu Inspired by Family Traditions

This summer, the Karamardian family developed a brunch menu that balances comfort, creativity and the flavors that have kept Zov’s a local favorite for nearly four decades. 

“Brunch at Zov’s goes beyond creative fare—it’s also about gathering and celebrating in a stylish, welcoming setting,” said Armen Karamardian, son of founder Zov Karamardian and CEO of Zov’s. “This new brunch lineup reflects our family’s passion for hospitality while honoring the flavors and traditions that make Zov’s feel like home.”

The menu features Mediterranean-inspired sweet and savory dishes made with fresh ingredients and imaginative twists on popular classics, including:

Baklava French Toast with layers of brioche, ashta cream, honey walnut syrup, fresh berries and crispy kataifi

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes topped with fresh berries, pistachios and housemade whipped cream

Short Rib Hash with braised short rib, poached egg, roasted red pepper relish, green onion, feta and a crispy hash brown cake

Soujouk Scramble with spiced soujouk sausage, peppers, onions, lebni and pita

Smoked Salmon Toast with lebni, crispy capers, cucumber, soft boiled egg, fresh dill and sumac

Burrata Toast with grilled sweetened peaches, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and candied walnuts

Watermelon Salad with heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette, crispy pita strips, red onion, feta, fresh mint and pomegranate reduction

Lively craft cocktails and mocktails complement the new brunch items. Fresh watermelon margaritas, seasonal mimosas and crisp spritzes are already guest favorites.

Brunch is served daily at Zov’s Tustin and on Saturday and Sunday at Zov’s Irvine at Orchard Hills and Zov’s Newport Coast.
