To facilitate numerous renovations on its food and beverage offerings, Hilton Anaheim, the largest hotel property in Orange County, has opened a distinctive restaurant, Poppy’s, dedicated to serving California-style and inspired dishes made from fresh, locally sourced products. Poppy’s, which sits within Hilton Anaheim, has started receiving the acclaim it deserves for its delicious, locally sourced, and seasonal, environmentally-friendly menu as well as for its welcoming environment to locals and travelers alike.

To fulfill the aims of Poppy’s, Hilton Anaheim has dedicated itself to embodying the essence of California in its food, which is a testament to the food ethos the hotel prides itself on. Poppy’s is a restaurant and cafe for both locals and travelers, providing endless dining opportunities to visitors as it showcases and celebrates California’s agriculture and bountiful food sources.

Poppy’s is a new gathering place serving a blend of exciting foods and drinks spiced with the finest Poppy’s in Hilton Anaheim, and captures the essence of the California sunshine for StiR Creative Collective, Hilton’s dedicated food and beverage genre Poppy’s also captures the ethos of the Western sun with dedic. With the open, Prabeen Prathapan is one of the most renowned and successful chefs in the restaurant, and guides the restaurant’s California-flavored menu, abundant with exciting food from the Golden State.

Deep beside the hotel’s new strategy regarding food and beverages, the eatery Poppy’s reimagines the dining experience. Its menu offers seasonal, lighter options that highlight wellness, ingredient locality, sustainability, and mindful food illustration. It accompanies the strategy that balances hotel renovations, like Poppy’s Lounge, Hansen’s Market, and Saltflower Social Kitchen, themed in food. Together, these spaces create a unique dining experience for the guests.

Dining that balances sustainability and seasonal ingredients

Chef Prathapan’s Poppy’s, whose seasonal menu rotates, embraces the spirit of California’s vibrant mosaic. It focuses on the abundance of produce, seafood, and herbs to emphasize the essence of the region. Prathapan’s vision is to coordinate the evolving seasonal range and creativity of California through food. For a restaurant, dining means Whisper of California, a blend of hospitality and sophistication. The dishes crafted with seasonal and local ingredients promote the regional farmers and uplift the environment.

The beverage program has various craft cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beers from California producers, which are available in conjunction with the restaurant’s menu. Guests have the options of the Gold Rush or Golden Hour cocktails, which have Yellow Chartreuse, Velvet Falernum, and pineapple, and a few of California’s wines and craft beers.

Poppy’s has separated its breakfast and dinner menus, with a lunch all-day menu. Breakfast options from the restaurant have a focus on healthy and tasty California dishes. A popular breakfast with a healthy boost is the Avocado Toast, which is served on poppy seed multigrain bread along with chili crunch, radish, and fresh lemon, and is a California staple. Another breakfast favorite, which is the Warm Breakfast Grain Bowl, has quinoa, beluga lentils, soft poached eggs, spinach, and cashew romesco.

The all-day menu showcases a variety of dishes suited for light meals any time of day. There is a choice of Tuna Poke Lettuce Wraps with soy-sesame glaze, topped with avocado and crispy shallots, and Route 66 Chicken Club with garlic-brined chicken breast, smoked bacon, avocado, and tomato jam garnished on a potato bun. Each of these dishes is a modern interpretation of California’s fresh and seasonal cuisine.

For dinner, Poppy’s presents an artisanal menu that includes hearty items like the Imperial Wagyu Filet, Tomahawk, and Prime Bone-In Ribeye steaks, and Poppy’s signature warm Poppy Seed Cake with orange blossom lemon curd and a delightful ribbon of vanilla bean ice cream.

A Celebration of California’s Spirit

More than just a restaurant, Poppy’s celebrates the extraordinary food culture of California. The California poppy is the state flower and the restaurant’s namesake, Poppy’s is a much deserved recognition of the poppy’s petals that embrace the warmth, beauty, and inviting aspect of the region.

Bocci pointed out how much Poppy’s contributes to transforming the restaurant as part of the hotel’s culinary brand. In his words, keeping Poppy’s allows Hilton Anaheim to sustain its tradition of some of the most noticeable features of California’s fragrance cuisine. Bocci, however, is more excited about how Poppy’s presents New Hilton Anaheim. Poppy’s is poised to carry Southern California’s culinary tradition into the new hospitality era.

Right after the unveiling of the restaurant, it was clear Poppy’s captured the imaginations of both residents and travelers. Guests of the restaurant take pleasure in the inspiring spatial quality of its comfortable, modernized, and classy interiors. Poppy’s is indeed a landmark eating establishment in Anaheim and especially Southern California, serving California cuisine and based on California inspiration and California local ingredients and culinary artistry.
