The word is out about dining at El Niguel—we’ve earned a reputation for culinary experiences that surpass traditional country club expectations, and the equal of restaurants in and around Laguna Niguel!

Deliciously Innovative Offerings

With menus that feature farm-to-table ingredients and seasonal offerings that please every palate, our exceptional Executive Chef and his talented team have established a culinary program that makes every meal at El Niguel a delight. An Exhibition Kitchen takes the open-concept idea and makes it unique to ENCC as the culinary staff engages and educates members and guests as part of an always-inviting experience.

Bring The Family

We enjoy casual meals and formal dinners; enticing lunchtime selections and the perfect family celebrations. Even the pickiest of palates find favorites here, from mac and cheese to filet mignon. The Club’s culinary culture also plays host to inclusive events and offerings, menus and moments that bring people together in the spirit of community to celebrate food, family, friends and fun...for all ages!

Celebrating Wine Culture

We’re proud of our engaging wine culture, offering a range of domestic selections and curated choices from around the world. Members and guests enjoy these selections through regular tastings, wine dinners, flash sales and other ways to educate and inform our palates—and we also feature spirits tastings and other events!

The Wonderful World of Whiskey

Connoisseurs of distilled delights have many reasons to raise a glass at El Niguel Country Club! In addition to regular tastings and experiences highlighting high-end offerings, our Chef-curated whiskey-paired dinners are a new Club tradition— and the perfect complement to our signature “Smoked Old Fashioned” cocktail. Our “Whiskey Club” features exclusive Members-only offerings and other limited-edition bar offerings. In 2021 barreled, batched and distilled our very own ENCC bourbon label in partnership with Woodford Reserve, featuring the best of Kentucky bourbon tradition.

 

Mixology Program

At El Niguel Country Club we revolutionized our bar and beverage offerings with the introduction of our Mixology program. Focusing on the blend of flavors and glassware, mixology is considered a refined and in-depth study of the art and craft of mixing drinks, making mixologists the chefs of the beverage industry.  Our team of mixologists have completing rigorous training and testing to become certified mixologists. We are proud of our certified mixologists, including Matthew Salinas, Marcelo Benitez, and Lily Felix.
