Restaurants in North Laguna

What dining looks like in North Laguna

North Laguna runs north of the Village along North Coast Highway and Cliff Drive, where Cliff Drive follows the bluff from Main Beach past Heisler Park to Crescent Bay. This page lists fewer places than the Village page, and they sit on two roads: Cliff Drive on the bluff and North Coast Highway. The North Laguna neighborhood page describes the area.

Each card links the restaurant’s own website or its page on lagunabeachhappyhour.com, a directory the same owner runs. No prices, hours or specials are printed, since those change. Check with the restaurant before you go.

Cliff Drive

Las Brisas is the Cliff Drive address on this page. Its site and its sister listing agree on the setting: a bluff with a patio and a view along the coast. Heisler Park is in the 400 block of Cliff Drive, so a meal here pairs with a walk through the park. The Heisler Park page lists the paths and viewpoints, and the sunset spots page covers evening views. Crescent Bay is farther north, and the Crescent Bay page has the ramp and access details.

North Coast Highway

The other six places have North Coast Highway addresses, running from 242 to 610. They cover sushi at Miki Sushi & Sake, pizza at Truly Pizza and Grazie Grazie, tiki-bar food at Royal Hawaiian, Mexican at Chelas and coffee at Jedidiah Coffee.

Parking and the trolley

The Coastal Route trolley serves a stop named North Laguna/Heisler Park and runs along Coast Highway through downtown to South Laguna. Cliff Drive has metered parking at Heisler Park. The parking guide explains the city’s meters and lots, and the getting around guide covers the trolley.

For a longer list

For more dining rooms within walking distance of each other, see the Village restaurants page. The oceanfront restaurants page covers places with a view of the water, and the coffee and bakeries page has more cafes.

Reading the listings

The cards on this page give each restaurant’s street address, a short description and a link to its own site. Menus change, and a few of these sites also list ordering by phone or online. Grazie Grazie Pizzeria’s site, for example, offers pickup and delivery, and Chelas lists its Laguna Beach address among several locations. If you plan to eat at a specific time, confirm the hours and any reservation rules with the restaurant first.
