Have you been to Las Brisas restaurant in Laguna Beach lately? If not you may be missing out! If you're like me and grew up in Orange County you've inevitably been to Las Brisas many times as it's practically an OC staple for first dates, birthday celebrations, family brunch, you name it! Of course, with its gorgeous ocean views and yummy Mexican food it's a great place any day of the week really!
The talented Chef Johannes Bernau, Las Brisas' Corporate Chef, explained how in an effort to keep things fresh and up to date, they recently revamped all their menus from breakfast to dinner. Even their infamous brunch menu has been updated and includes some new surprises!
I recently had the opportunity to check out the new Sunset Celebration Menu in their Seaside Cantina and I have tell you, the food here is definitely up to a new level!
The menu has something for everyone from the sinful Nueske's Bacon Sliders to the vegetarian friendly Pomegranate Goat Cheese Tacos. Here is just a sampling of a few of my favorites dishes from their new menu:
 |
| Baked (Queso) Fundido - really unique baked in phyllo dough! Delicious! |
 |
| Hamachi Sashimi w finger limes & grapefruit - so fresh with jsut the right amout of citrus! |
 |
| Blistered Shishito Peppers |
 |
| Nueske's Bacon Sliders using thick cut bacon and topped with a flavorful chimichurri sauce! A MUST order! |
 |
| The vegetarian Pomegranate Goat Cheese Tacos.. soo good you'll forget they're meat-free! |
The Sunset Celebration Menu is served only in the seaside cantina from 5pm to sunset. Las Brisas is located at 361 Cliff Drive in Laguna Beach - right off PCH. They have valet parking for a fee but there is also quite a bit of metered parking on Cliff Drive if you're coming just to enjoy Happy Hour in the cantina.
Enjoy, and tell them OCFoodieGirl sent you! ;)
