Beach Eats: Zimzala

July 12 by Priscilla 9 Comments

SEXY, SURFER, CHIC – is a spot-on description of Huntington Beach’s Shorebreak Hotel and its restaurant & bar Zimzala. Only steps away from the famous strand in Huntington Beach which annually hosts the US Open of Surfing, Zimzala is fast becoming our  favorite sit-down and relax-at-the-beach restaurant.

Tangerine Dream Parfait with Chia Seeds

March 6 by Priscilla 22 Comments
