| Zov Karamardian, chef-owner of Zov's Café, has imported the flavors of the Mediterranean to her eponymous Newport Coast café. We truly appreciate the freshness of the ingredients in such traditional appetizer plates as hummus, calamari, baba ghanouj and tabbouleh. If you love soup, however, don’t miss starting out with Zov’s signature bowl of golden lentils. The huge entrée salads are satisfying, such as the chicken paillard with leafy greens, goat cheese, red onions, candied walnuts and a tomato-balsamic vinaigrette. All of the entrées look attractive on the plate, but we particularly enjoy the roasted rosemary-garlic chicken, the impressively tender lamb shishlik and the rack of lamb with roasted garlic and pomegranate jus. The service here is friendly and prompt, and the unusual wine list of half-bottles offers impressive value. Check out the adjacent bakery for a mouthwatering array of pastries, not to mention breakfast and brunch selections like Zov's special omelet and vanilla yogurt topped with crunchy home-baked granola.
