The food options in Orange County never cease to amaze me. Everyone who follows the local restaurant scene was excited about the opening of chef Amar Santana and business partner Ahmed Labatte’s latest project, The Hall Global Eatery. It finally debuted earlier this year at South Coast Plaza, and I couldn’t wait to see it for myself.
The quick-service Patisserie is a great way to start the day. Fresh pressed juices, wellness shots and a complete coffee bar are complemented by freshly baked pastries and cookies.

I had some time to relax and took my oat milk latte out to The Hall’s patio, enjoying the breeze under the olive trees. One bite into Amar’s pineapple-coconut cake and I was hooked.
