The king of retail shopping in Orange County remains South Coast Plaza with its sister complex South Coast Village. This is one of the premier shopping centers of the world, ranking among the top metropolitan markets in every retail category measured--from bejeweled watches to Italian suits.

Over 270 of the world's most prestigious retailers-- Hermès, Valentino, Prada, Fendi, Chanel, Gucci, Mikimoto, and Christian Dior, to name just a few--are interspersed throughout this shopping mecca which was created and developed by the Segerstrom family in 1967 on what had been bean fields. There are also over two dozen great restaurants in the Orange County South Coast Metro district, including the much-lauded Troquet, Chat Noir Bistro & Jazz Lounge, Wolfgang Puck Café and Antonello Ristorante.

Just down the street from South Coast Plaza is The Lab Anti-Mall where you can get a henna tattoo or one of the finest Cuban meals in the southland. Overlooking the California coastline is Fashion Island in Newport Beach, the most successful open-air shopping center in the country with over 200 shops, restaurants, and department stores including Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. The Shops at Mission Viejo strives to provide customers with a host of stores to meet all your shopping needs.

The Irvine Spectrum Center and The Outlets at Orange are have added a number of unique retail and entertainment options to Orange County shopping and entertainment. The Irvine Spectrum features the Edward's 21-screen theater complex, one of the largest in Southern California, and a six and a half story, stadium-style IMAX theater, plus fascinating dining emporiums like Dave and Buster's, where in addition to feasting on St. Louis-style pork ribs, you can enjoy a number of interactive electronic games at The Million Dollar Midway. The Outlets at Orange features the best names in retail including Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, DKNY, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and H&M, as well as high quality entertainment venues including AMC 30 Theatres, Dave & Buster's, Vans Skatepark, and Lucky Strike Lanes and various themed restaurants.

But not all of the County's unique shopping and dining experiences will be found at these mega-malls. Old Towne Orange is known as "the antique capital of California" with more than three dozen stores filled with collectibles spread out around a '50s-style downtown plaza. Little Saigon, in Westminster, shows the County's diversity with a mind-boggling array of Vietnamese restaurants, bakeries, delis, and shops.
