Best Places For Lox In OC
Lox is a food that people don't eat frequently, but it's a very interesting food and not just because it's salty, smoky and largely for breakfast or brunch. It's about as light as you can get for a product that comes from an animal, and it combines well with a variety of flavors. From a crisp waffle sandwich to a standard open-faced lox sandwich with cream cheese and other toppings, here are the best places in Orange County to get lox. If you're looking for a place to get the best bagels, stop by one of the Best Bagel Shops in Orange County.
Bruxie

Irvine, CA 92604

The lox sandwich at Bruxie is a truly delightful combination of flavors. The crisp Belgian waffle on which the sandwich is served has a layer of dill cream cheese that perfects the sandwich. The salmon is neither too smoky nor too salty, and the cucumbers provide not only a nice crunch, but also a good freshness. This sandwich has a lot of rich flavors, but is very light and perfect especially when the weather warms up.

There is probably no better place to find lox than at a New York-style deli. This family-operated deli has been in business since 1967, so you know it is doing something right. You can get your lox a couple different ways at Benjies. It's included in the family-style bagel brunch, and it's also available in a single serving with eggs and onions. At $11.59, it's a little more expensive than at other places, but it's worth it.
