About Us
We at Azu Restaurant look to our local history with Mexico and Spain for inspiration for our menus. For over 18 years, Owner and Chef Laurel Moore has taken this inspiration and has created a ambiance and menu that has the feel of a Californian retreat, brew pub, and local Ojai escape.
Our sister company, Ojai Valley Brewery, is served fresh on tap daily. We brew Artisan, Small Batch Beers, most of which are exclusively sold at Azu Restaurant. Bottled Beer and Growler Fills also available at the Restaurant.
Azu Restaurant is also the exclusive Tasting Room for local Boutique Winery, Ojai Alisal Vineyards, a small 4 acre vineyard in the Upper Ojai representing the Terrior of Ojai.
Azu’s Bar Program includes fresh, seasonal cocktails made with local spirits and citrus fruit picked locally and juiced in house.
Whether you are looking to escape from the hustle bustle of the city or are an Ojai local in need of a special night out. Our destination style atmosphere and farm fresh California food, fresh juice cocktails, and local wine and beer, is the perfect place to find sanctuary within a culinary inspired establishment.
