Founded in 1987 by Chef Zov Karamardian, the legendary Zov’s Bistro and Bakery in Tustin, CA, has become a culinary institution. It serves her unique cuisine—a blend of contemporary dishes with Eastern Mediterranean influences—in an upscale, chic environment.

Family support has constantly been Zov’s foundation and inspiration throughout her culinary career. Now proudly spanning three generations, Zov, in addition to her husband Gary, her son Armen, and her daughter Taleene, has created a rare family business recipe that takes the comforting creations of the family kitchen and blends them with Chef Zov’s culinary artistry.

Over the years, the original Bistro in Tustin has expanded into a 14,000 sq. ft. space, encompassing an award-winning bakery, an acclaimed restaurant, a luxurious private dining room, cooking classes, and a busy catering division that brings Zov’s culinary style to homes and special events throughout Southern California. This success has also led to the restaurant's exciting expansion into San Clemente, bringing Zov's signature hospitality and flavors to even more of the community.
