Newport Beach Restaurant Information
Rent a Car To Go
You just haven't eaten out until you've eaten out in a Newport Beach restaurant. The seafood restaurants, of course, benefit hugely from their proximity to the ocean. For well over a century, the city has been home to an active fishing fleet whose haul from the ocean has had to meet the exacting demands of local restaurateurs and satisfy the tastes of diners who know what outstanding fresh fish tastes like. Unless you catch and prepare it yourself, you'd be hard pressed to find fish and other seafood as delectably fresh as what you'll find in Newport Beach's many outstanding eateries.
The ocean plays another role, a backdrop. Along the waterfront the restaurants look out at the ocean and the harbor. But the dramatic, swiftly ascending landscape of Newport Beach enables many restaurants that are not right on the water to provide their guests with commanding, panoramic views of Newport Beach's beautiful, accessible seascape. Here is just a sample of the kind of restaurants you can expect to find in Newport Beach, California.
