Have You Visited Comedor Laguna Beach? Time To Wake Up & Taste The Tapas, Toast The Sunset

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — If you love 1930s design, delicious tapas and decadent desserts, then Comedor could be your new favorite restaurant.

Chef Marcel Vigneron, Top Chef Finalist who joined the restaurant in May, has created a menu to bring people together and "nourish our bodies and souls," his website boasts.

Located in the La Casa Del Camino Hotel, replacing the former K'ya Bistro, Comedor is an ideal place to share tapas, indulge in main dishes, and stay through to dessert, according to a recent review by Du Jour magazine. "Must-have main dishes include the rossejat de fideos, a Paella-style vermicelli with lobster, shrimp and calamari, as well as a decadent molten chocolate cake," according to food editors at DuJour.

Start with a cocktail, we suggest the La Brisa, a gin, Lillet Blanc, St. Germain, lemon, rosewater and Pechaud's bitters concoctions to toast the sunset with for $16 or get the Comedor Sangria by the pitcher for $60.

Tapas start at $13 for the PADRÓN peppers with soy aioli and furikake to $17 for the charred Spanish octopus, served with squid ink romesco, romnesco, chorizo and Spanish chorizo or share an artisan cheese board with a variety of artisan cheeses, fruit, and Marconi almonds along with prosciutto for $26.

Prices for main dishes range from $26 for the Rossejat de Fideos, a lovely vermicelli, lobster, shrimp, calamari, clams and mussels cooked in a seafood broth to $36 for the New York Strip Steak with chimichurri, celery root and herb butter.

Comedor, Spanish for dining room/dining room table, showcases the dining experience.

The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday, 5 to 10 p.m.
