Right before sunset, golden light bathes the patio at Zov’s newest location in San Clemente, complementing the warmth of hospitality within this beloved Orange County restaurant that’s run by three generations of the Karamardian family.
Set to celebrate its 40th anniversary next year, Zov’s has become an institution in Orange County, with loyal diners who return time and again for the Mediterranean dishes with a coastal California influence. Many of the recipes were passed down through the family of acclaimed chef and co-founder Zov Karamardian. Memories fill each of her mother’s dishes that she shares at the restaurant.
“Cooking is how I express warmth and care. When you put a family recipe on the table, you’re not just serving food, you’re sharing a piece of your history, your culture,” said Zov.
