CALIFORNIA FLAVORS

Veteran chefs Ross Pangilinan and Nicholas Weber opened the modern Cal-French bistro POPULAIRE at South Coast Plaza in June . Combining their years of culinary experience , Pangilinan and Weber have created a menu that exemplifies their take on California flavors . Choose from entrees such as Spanish octopus with koji creme fraiche , cured green tomato and hemp seed crumble , and a prime bavette steak with “ au poivre ” ( pepper and cream ) sauce , whipped potatoes and beef cheek ragout . The 3,000-square-foot space includes an open kitchen , large dining room and outdoor patio , offering the perfect ambiance to enjoy a meal as well as sake , beer or wine ( mostly from France and California ). A soft color palette of pastels and vintage blues is enhanced by a beautiful floral mural that sets an approachable yet sophisticated mood . Dinner , lunch and weekend brunch are provided , making Populaire the place to be any day of the week . Pangilinan also owns and operates Terrace by Mix Mix at South Coast Plaza ; Mix Mix Kitchen Bar in Santa Ana , which earned a Michelin
Escargot at the new Populaire
Bib Gourmand designation in 2019 and is now only open for special pop-ups ; and ReMix Kitchen Bar in Long Beach . Weber has served as executive chef of 24 Carrots , a top catering company in OC , as well as Catal Restaurant in Downtown Disney , The Cannery in Newport Beach and Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa .
