Omelette House

Omelette House

The Omelette House is a great independent breakfast location. It is a small restaurant not recommended for large groups but offers an intimate breakfast experience.

Given the name, omelettes are the focus of the menu. Over a dozen different omelettes are offered from the menu and come with a side of toast and either hash browns or home fries. The omelette plates are reasonably priced at $8 a plate.

If none of the pre-selected omelettes sound appealing, customers also have the option of creating their own omelette. Ingredients range from chicken and shrimp, to mushroom and spinach as well as the usual staples like ham and bacon.

Other breakfast staples like pancakes, French toast and steak and eggs are also available. Several coffees, teas and smoothies are also available to drink.

There is a limited lunch menu offered and Wi-Fi is offered free of charge. The staff is also very friendly and always at the ready thanks to the small dining area.

Omelette house is open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, although the hours may vary in instances where the restaurant might open earlier or close later.

Omelette house is located in Garden Grove at 12444 Brookhurst Street.

Enjoy!

Cortina's


Cortina's Italian Market
Cortina's Italian Market offers both a restaurant and a market side. It opened in 1963 and has been family owned and operated ever since.

What sets Cortina's apart from other Italian restaurants is the high quality ingredients both foreign and domestic.

The restaurant offers hot and cold sandwiches, pastas and pizzas all made to order. Sandwiches are offered in both six and 10 inch sizes and pizzas come in 12, 14 and 16 inch sizes. Pasta dishes are served in single portions.

Virtually everything for sale in the restaurant can be purchased in the market side.

The market is an intimate little shop that boasts many Italian products from various meats, cheeses and wines among many other products. Shoppers can even buy all the ingredients to make their own pizzas at home, and the staff will answer any questions or concerns on how to do so.

On top of the restaurant and market, Cortina's also does catering and gets very busy during the holidays as a result. Catering offers most of the items available in the restaurant as well as other items, liked stuffed shells and baked chicken, that are only available through catering.

Cortina's is located at 2175 West Orange Ave in Ahaheim, about three or four miles west of Disneyland
