Anchoring the hotel’s food & beverage transformation, the new concept boasts fresh, California fare

ANAHEIM, CA, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hilton Anaheim, the largest hotel property in Orange County, proudly introduces Poppy’s, its new signature restaurant and the centerpiece of the hotel’s reimagined food and beverage program. As part of the property’s broader multimillion-dollar renovation, Poppy’s menu focuses on lighter, seasonal dishes made with locally sourced ingredients.

Developed by Hilton’s in-house food and beverage brand incubator, StiR Creative Collective, Poppy’s is an all-day dining venue providing a convivial gathering place for both locals and travelers alike. With veteran chef Prabeen Prathapan at the helm, the restaurant reflects Hilton Anaheim’s California roots – a theme carried throughout the hotel’s renovation and broader food and beverage program, which includes Hansen’s Market, Poppy’s Lounge, Saltflower Social Kitchen, and expanded catering and banquet services. With an emphasis on sustainability and wellness, Poppy’s also features rotating, seasonal offerings, reinforcing its commitment to freshness, innovation, and mindful dining.

“At Poppy’s, our inspiration is the colors and flavors of California: abundant seafood, fresh produce, and fragrant herbs, highlighting the mosaic of California’s spirit through food and showcasing the quality ingredients the region has to offer,” said Chef Prathapan. “Rooted in friendly and refined hospitality and with local, seasonal ingredients at the heart of everything we create, Poppy’s represents the greater transformation of the food & beverage program at Hilton Anaheim. We’re thrilled to finally unveil our culinary vision and for Poppy’s to become an unforgettable part of each guest’s stay.”

The restaurant offers distinct breakfast and dinner menus, with an all-day menu carrying through lunch service. Standout morning options include the California staple Avocado Toast on a poppy seed multigrain bread, with chili crunch, radish fresh lemon and a side salad, and a nourishing Warm Breakfast Grain Bowl with quinoa, beluga lentils, soft poached eggs, spinach, and cashew romesco. Crisp, refreshing Tuna Poke Lettuce Wraps glazed with soy-sesame and topped with avocado and crispy shallots, and the Route 66 Chicken Club with garlic-brined chicken breast, smoky bacon, avocado, tomato jam, and potato bun are highlights from the all-day selection.

Dinner transitions to an artisanal, heartier menu that includes Imperial Wagyu Filet, Tomahawk, and Prime Bone-In Ribeye steaks, all paired with complementary sides. For dessert, the Warm Poppy Seed Cake, with orange blossom lemon curd and vanilla bean ice cream, offers a sweet and elegant nod to the restaurant’s namesake.

Poppy’s beverage program complements the California-inspired menu with a variety of craft cocktails and mocktails, such as the Gold Rush, Golden Hour, made with Yellow Chartreuse, Velvet Falernum, and pineapple. The California-driven beer and wine program features a curated selection of sparkling, red, white, and rosé wines, and regional craft beers that will rotate seasonally.

“Poppy’s is more than a restaurant; it’s an essential pillar of our hotel’s transformation,” said Sergio Bocci, general manager of Hilton Anaheim. “From the name, celebrating the wild history of California’s state flower, to the flavors found on the menu, it represents the future of Hilton Anaheim while reflecting the warmth & hospitality that we’ve shared with guests over the last 41 years.”

Poppy’s is located inside Hilton Anaheim and is now open. Reservations can be made at OpenTable. For more information, please follow Poppy’s on Instagram at @poppysanaheim.
