Start at Imperial Highway and drive east on Santa Ana Canyon Road toward Weir Canyon. In that stretch you pass most of the restaurants that took part in the first Anaheim Hills Restaurant Week, which ran September 12 through 19, 2026. There were 21 participants. Ten of them have an address on Santa Ana Canyon Road. Most of the others are a short turn off it.
Council Member Natalie Meeks of District 6 presented the week. Her partners were the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim Hills Neighbors and Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner. KTLA covered it on its Morning News on September 14 under the headline "The first ever Anaheim Hills Restaurant Week takes place." The specials have ended, but the list is still worth keeping. Put the addresses in order and you get a clear picture of how the hills are laid out for eating out.
Ten Stops on One Road
Here are the participants with a confirmed Santa Ana Canyon Road address, listed west to east by street number:
- Campitelli Cookies, 5557 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, Suite 102. The bakery describes its spot as the Rodrigo's and Wells Fargo center at Imperial Highway.
- Ding Tea Anaheim Hills, 5620 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, for boba, ceremonial matcha and specialty coffee.
- Hummus Bean, 5745 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, serving kabobs, falafel and pita wraps.
- Kaffeine Alley, 6312 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, known for phin-brewed Vietnamese coffee.
- Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill, 8022 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road.
- Nothing Bundt Cakes, 8126 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, Suite 167.
- Nékter Juice Bar, 8162 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road. Its Restaurant Week profile names this as the Festival at Anaheim Hills location.
- Porky's Pizza, 8285 Santa Ana Canyon Road, Suite 110.
- The Hive Sports Bar and Grill, on Santa Ana Canyon Road. Its event profile doesn't give a street number.
- Story Bar + Kitchen, also on Santa Ana Canyon Road with no street number listed. It serves brunch, lunch, dinner and happy hour.
The road covers nearly 2,500 address numbers, but the restaurants cluster at two points. Four stops sit between 5557 and 6312, near the Imperial Highway end. Four more sit between 8022 and 8285, around the Festival. Brass Tap Anaheim Hills, at 8295 E. Monte Vista Road, gives the eastern group a fifth stop just off the main road. Restaurant Week didn't list any participants at addresses between those two groups.
Who Has Been on the Road the Longest
The organizers said they started Restaurant Week because local restaurants "don't always get the recognition they deserve." They wanted to highlight "a family-run kitchen you've walked past a hundred times or a longtime neighborhood favorite." The participants' own descriptions show how long some of those places have been around:
| Restaurant | Address | Tenure, in its own words |
|---|---|---|
| Campitelli Cookies | 5557 E. Santa Ana Canyon Rd. | Serving Anaheim Hills since 1987, family-owned |
| Rosine's Mediterranean Restaurant | 721 S. Weir Canyon Rd. | Open since 1995, Lebanese and Mediterranean |
| Porky's Pizza | 8285 Santa Ana Canyon Rd. | Over 30 years, still family-owned |
| Keno's Restaurant | 5750 E. La Palma Ave. | An Anaheim Hills favorite "for decades" |
| Honeypot Meadery | 5120 E. La Palma Ave. | Started as a hobby in 2014 |
The two oldest names sit at opposite ends of the corridor. Campitelli Cookies, the oldest, is at the western end near Imperial Highway. Porky's Pizza is in the eastern group near the Festival. Many of the newer names on the list are drink and café spots in between or nearby: Ding Tea, Kaffeine Alley, Sunbliss Cafe and Café Biaani, which describes itself as serving coffee sourced directly from Oaxaca. Sunbliss calls itself an award-winning café, with organic matcha, house-made chai and cold-pressed juices.
Keno's description offers its own shortcut for regulars: the famous pancakes and Tuesday fried chicken.
Where the Branches Run
The rest of the list sits on the cross streets and on the canyon floor below.
Weir Canyon Road. Rosine's at 721 S. Weir Canyon Road, Suite 125, and Sunbliss Cafe at 701 S. Weir Canyon Road, Unit 115, are a few doors apart. In practice that makes a small dining stop of its own just south of the Santa Ana Canyon Road intersection.
La Palma Avenue. Down on the flat ground near the 91, three participants have La Palma addresses: TOGO'S Sandwiches at 5642, Keno's at 5750 and Honeypot Meadery at 5120 E. La Palma Avenue, Suite 104. Honeypot lists its address as Anaheim, not Anaheim Hills, but it calls itself "Anaheim's go-to tasting room" for mead, hard cider and fruit wines. Nékter's Restaurant Week profile also links a second store at 5655 E. La Palma Avenue, Suite 135.
Lakeview Avenue. Baci Di Firenze Trattoria, a family-run Italian restaurant serving fresh pasta, is at 416 N. Lakeview Avenue.
Nohl Ranch Road. The Gallery Food & Libations, at 6501 E. Nohl Ranch Road, is the one participant up in the residential hills. It overlooks the fairways at Anaheim Hills Golf Club. The Chamber held its kickoff mixer there on Thursday, September 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. The Gallery is also the only participant whose full Restaurant Week menu is still posted:
- Starters: Spinach & Artichoke Dip for $12, Buffalo Chicken Lollipops for $11, Margherita Flatbread for $11
- Plates: Gallery Taco Plate for $16, Southwestern BBQ Burger for $16, Salmon Protein Bowl for $24
- Drinks: 20 oz. Gallery Michelada for $10, Cucumber Gin Martini for $13, Pa "Lalo" Loma for $13
Three participants, Latte Da Ristorante, Pho Vina and Café Biaani, don't post a street address on the pages we reviewed. Café Biaani's listing places it in Anaheim Hills. Pho Vina says it has served Anaheim Hills "for years," and lists garlic noodles alongside its pho.
Meeks posted a note to participating restaurants on the event's homepage after the week ended:
"Personally, I enjoyed a different special everyday; I discovered new favorites and rediscovered places I hadn't been in a while."
The same note calls this the "first annual" Anaheim Hills Restaurant Week.
The Festival End Is Where the Road Changes Next
The eastern restaurant group, around Wood Ranch, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Nékter and Porky's, is also where the next changes are planned.
On March 3, 2026, the City Council approved a redevelopment plan at Anaheim Hills Festival. It calls for a four-story, 447-unit apartment building and a parking structure on the site of the vacant cinema, plus a public dog park and a bluff park. The site is south of Santa Ana Canyon Road between Festival Drive and Roosevelt Road. The city's approval record covers the plan only. It doesn't confirm that demolition or construction has started.
A separate proposal, Deer Canyon Preserve, is earlier in the process. The city is preparing an environmental impact report for up to 359 homes on a 76-acre site south of Santa Ana Canyon Road, generally between Eucalyptus Drive and Festival Drive. The proposed off-site work includes a new traffic signal on Santa Ana Canyon Road at the project's entrance street. Public scoping comments closed September 8. The proposal still has to go through noticed hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
Before any of that happens, the Festival has a busy afternoon on the calendar. Its free Halloween Boo-Nanza is Saturday, October 31, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with trick-or-treating at participating stores and restaurants, a live DJ, face painting and balloon twisting. The Festival recommends arriving early and says a map of participating businesses is coming soon.
The team at Monarch Home Group has watched Santa Ana Canyon Road change one storefront at a time, and the Festival plans are one more change to follow. If you own along the corridor and wonder how the nearby plans and the shops down the street factor into your home's value, ask us for a Free Market Valuation. We'll look at your street and your comps, not a countywide average.
