Construction began last month at The District in Tustin on what will eventually become the Marmalade Café. Last week, I did some digging around to see what customers could expect from the new eatery once it opens in November. Here’s what I discovered:
The Marmalade Café, which actually got its start as more of a catering company than a restaurant, offers customers everything from breakfast to dinner. The food they serve is known as California cuisine, which basically emphasizes fresh and local ingredients.
Marmalade Café menus (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are known for being eclectic and providing customers with plenty of choices.
Some of the more notable dishes customers should find on their menu include: From the breakfast menu – Fillet Mignon Chili & Cheddar Omelets, Scottish Smoked Salmon, and Baked German Apple Pancakes. On the lunch menu – Ahi Sashimi, Gnocchi, and Fillet Mignon Tacos. And for dinner – Grilled Rack of Lamb, Blackened Shrimp Creole, and Rib-Eye Steak.
When the eatery opens, it will be the only Marmalade Café in Orange County. The restaurant chain currently has nine other locations, most of them in LA County.

The District shopping center is located at Jamboree and Barranca in Tustin, just over the Irvine border.
