Best known for Disney magic, Anaheim’s culinary scene pulses just as strongly beyond the parks: a rich mosaic of Filipino, Mexican, American bistros, oceanic eats, and hidden gems in every shopping plaza.
Locals and out-of-towners alike come for hearty breakfasts, international treasures, and creative date-night spots.
- Anaheim Packing House
A former citrus packing warehouse reborn as a sprawling food hall—ramen to order, wood-fired pizzas, Hawaiian poke, grilled cheese stands, BBQ pits, and artisanal doughnuts.
The communal tables and live music invite visitors and locals to circle up and taste everything under one historic roof.
Try the grilled octopus tacos and the churro-dusted cocktail.
- Habana Anaheim
A pastel-lined Cuban café where café con leche arrives before your omelet, and the pressed Cubano—mojo pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles—cements happiness.
Fish fillets a la plancha, plantain chips, and guava pastries line the case.
Sunday nights bring live salsa bands and mojito pitchers.
- Teppan Edo
Inside Downtown Disney, Teppan Edo is more than themed dining: Hibachi chefs carve filet mignon and shrimp in an epic show, while wok-tossed vegetables fly through the air.
Families gather at steel grills, servers juggle egg rolling, and birthdays are announced by fireworks in the sake.
- Huckleberry Bakery & Café
A chef-driven bakery in the nearby packing district, Huckleberry focuses on hyper-seasonal California ingredients: blueberry lavender scones, quiche with wild mushrooms, grilled trout with nettle pesto, and pies that taste of orchard-fresh fruit.
Lines begin early for pastries, but the wait is part of the experience.
- Salt & Straw
Famous for small-batch ice cream with inventive flavors—honey lavender, olive oil and sea salt, cinnamon snickerdoodle—and served in hand-dipped waffle cones.
Locals line up after work and tourists find the menu a highlight of the Disneyland district. Vegan options abound, and flavor wizards rotate new tastes monthly.
