Why you should experience Zov's in Newport Beach, California.
Zov's, Newport Beach is Mediterranean hospitality sharpened by California sunlight and plated with unapologetic flavor.
Located at 3446 East Coast Highway in Newport Beach, California near the intersection with Avocado Avenue in the Corona del Mar district, this coastal outpost of the celebrated Zov's restaurant family delivers a menu rooted in Armenian and Eastern Mediterranean traditions translated through modern California ingredients. The room feels bright and deliberate, white table settings, open sightlines, a hum of conversation that starts at brunch and carries into dinner service.
What you didn't know about Zov's.
Zov's, Newport Beach carries forward the culinary legacy of chef and restaurateur Zov Karamardian, whose restaurants helped introduce Southern California diners to a refined interpretation of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine decades before it became fashionable.
The kitchen balances charcoal-grilled meats, herb-forward salads, and bright citrus marinades with composed plates that respect both tradition and regional produce. Lamb kebabs, roasted chicken, hummus, and vibrant vegetable dishes anchor the menu while seasonal ingredients rotate through specials and lighter coastal offerings. Its East Coast Highway placement situates the restaurant within Corona del Mar's polished dining corridor, drawing locals, brunch crowds, and travelers moving along the Pacific coastline.
How to fold Zov's into your trip.
Zov's, Newport Beach works beautifully as a midday reset or an elegant dinner before a coastal sunset.
Start with mezze to share, hummus, spreads, and warm bread, before moving into grilled seafood or lamb that carries the kitchen's spice and citrus balance. Pair the meal with a crisp white wine or a citrus-forward cocktail, then step back out onto East Coast Highway and walk toward the ocean bluffs of Corona del Mar. The breeze will feel different after a table like this, lighter, calmer, satisfied.
