Michelin Guide Shines Spotlight on 28 Orange County Restaurants

Orange’s culinary scene continues to shine as it earns well-deserved recognition in the prestigious Michelin Guide. Among the highlights is Gabbi’s Mexican Kitchen, located in the heart of Old Towne Orange, which received the Bib Gourmand designation for delivering exceptional meals at approachable prices. Known for its elevated take on traditional Mexican cuisine and its vibrant, historic setting, Gabbi’s showcases the city’s growing reputation as a food destination.

While 28 restaurants across Orange County were recognized — including Knife Pleat in Costa Mesa and Rebel Omakase in Laguna Beach — the City of Orange stands out for blending culinary excellence with small-town charm. Its walkable districts, diverse restaurant offerings, and strong sense of community create a dining atmosphere that’s both inviting and innovative.

As nearby cities like Anaheim and Newport Beach gain attention for their own standout restaurants, Orange distinguishes itself through authentic local gems that combine heritage with creativity. The Michelin Guide’s recognition of Gabbi’s not only celebrates the restaurant itself but also highlights the city’s rising influence in the region’s food scene.
