K'ya Bistro Bar

Anaheim, CA 92805

The city of Laguna Beach is a uniquely charming blend of sophisticated tastes and relaxed, easy-going culture that is not found anywhere else in Orange County. And no other restaurant celebrates this synergy better than K’ya. Located within the beautiful Hotel La Casa del Camino and mere steps to the ocean, K’ya’s melding of cosmopolitan and coastal motifs work together to create a casual, romantic décor and thoroughly inviting place to dine—before or after an evening of theater or art, or after a day at the beach. The spirit of diversity is well-represented both in the kitchen and in the menu, which offers sensational entrées influenced by the flavors of the Pacific Rim, Europe, the Mediterranean and local trends. K’ya also offers a tantalizing small plates menu of tapas-style delights. It's a great way to sample a variety of dishes...and with this luscious, inventive cuisine, you'll want to do just that! Finally, no trip to K'ya—or to Laguna Beach for that matter—is complete without visiting La Casa del Camino's Rooftop Lounge. Boasting spellbinding views of the Pacific Ocean and the coastline's famous hillside with its stunning nightly lightshow, The Rooftop is easily Laguna's sexiest, most happening spot to drink in the spectacular sunset with one or more fabulous cocktails. And be sure to sample the heavenly tapas-style appetizers. Like K'ya, The Rooftop Lounge is the place to be in Laguna Beach.
