Top Best American Restaurants in Coronado

"Bertrand at Mr. A's just might be one of the best places to enjoy a skyline view of Downtown San Diego, Coronado, Balboa Park and Point Loma, with the occasional plane landing or taking off from the airport. Imagine the sunset at dinner time: This is why this restaurant is perpetually voted one of the most romantic places to eat in the city. However, its casual elegance is also welcoming to families (there is no kids menu, however) and you may leave your jacket and tie at home."

"Look no further than Mister A’s, one of the most romantic restaurants in San Diego!. It is the penthouse, fine-dining destinatio..."

"Top Chef alum Richard Blais has crafted a menu of ethically sourced free-range chicken and egg dishes, so—even though you're not tucking into the healthiest meal—you can at least feel good about what you're eating. There are veggie-dense salads and power bowls packed with quinoa, but that's not what you're here for: Crack Shack is all about the fried chicken, both in sandwich and standalone form. There are also fried chicken adjacent items like deviled eggs and chicken fat fries."

"The Crack Shack is my most favorite place to go with the kids. They have a sandbox with toys, a chalk board easel, giant connect four and plenty of outdoor space for kids to run around. Not to mention, the food is excellent and their craft cocktails are a real treat."

"Located next door to Juniper and Ivy, The Crack Shack is another of Chef Richard Blais' creations. It's comfort food thanks to locally-raised, free-range, antibiotic-free chicken and creative recipes."

"That's right, Juniper + Ivy is owned by the winner of Bravo TV's Top Chef, none other than Richard Blais. If you've seen him on TV you know that Richard is the molecular gastronomical guy - you know, the guy who likes to deconstruct and transform ingredients into new forms. Just saying because if you see things like Corn Dog or Mac N Cheese on the menu you should know upfront that the food they bring out might not exactly match your experience from the past."

"If you love experiencing food at its most creative, renowned chef Richard Blais’ west coast restaurant is the place for you. At Juniper and Ivy, the team never sit back and relax – the menu is constantly changing and the food is constantly surprising. It’s high-end American food with a twist, small plates, and plates of pasta that you can enjoy with a drink and some good conversation."

"A fun and welcoming spot in the heart of San Diego, Juniper & Ivy is the ideal spot for dinner after visiting the nearby Ballast Point Brewery. Stop into this lively restaurant and..."

"Point LomaJ-FAT’s general store carries produce, eggs, butter, baked goods like hamburger buns and tortillas, and a variety of proteins including Wagyu and Beyond burgers, rib roasts, baby back ribs, ground Italian sausage, shrim, and cooked sliced ribeye. The bar also has Jameson and ginger or Tito’s mule kits and family meals and party kits, including a Taco Tuesday package -- perfect for Cinco de Mayo (which happily falls on Tuesday this year)!. How it works: Order online for pickup or delivery"

"Hash House is the place you go for a breakfast so huge it would sustain you for an entire month if you were a snake (shoutout to all the reptilian people out there). The guys in the kitchen are not only making the best breakfast you’ll ever shove into your face, they're also engineering geniuses who are breaking down the barriers between architecture and food by making everything on your plate as deliciously vertical as possible. Now, who's ready for a fried chicken Benedict on a biscuit with maple reduction and bacon mashed potatoes?"

"Hash House A Go Go, or Hash House for short, is a super popular Hillcrest breakfast hotspot known for their “twisted farm food”. They started out in this modest Hillcrest location and now boast over 10 locations including multiple ones in Las Vegas, it’s no surprise they are well known, and for good reason. They do not take reservations and the line is always long."

"KensingtonHandmade waffle cones and Fosselman’s famous premium ice cream make Moosie’s Ice Cream a must-stop for your snack break. Try the chocolate-covered strawberry flavor with one of their addictive brownies on the side, or their classic ice cream shop sundaes, shakes, malts, or floats in any one of 16 flavors. Easy brunch cheat—add one of their fresh sorbets (passionfruit is our favorite) to a glass of bubbly for an instant mimosa."

"Named after their Grandmother, Moosie’s is the place to go for good, old-fashioned ice cream. With 16 rotating flavors, you can mix two into one scoop or you can treat yourself to two scoops in one of their handmade daily waffle cones. Their tempting flavors of chocolate dipped strawberry, peppermint candy, burgundy cherry, and more are made by the Fosselman family who has been serving Southern California for 91 years."

"It’s every kid’s dream to be treated with ice cream as yummy and colorful looking as the raspberry bowl you see in this photo. While there are many great ice cream spots in town, Moosie’s is the one that has it all - great ice cream, quick and friendly serving, sweet decor and the best price!. It’ll be a great bonus if you get lucky and arrive in time for occasional free samples; grab that chance."

"A post shared by Manilyn Baltazar (@immanilynbaltazar) on Jul 22, 2020 at 5:54pm PDT. Speaking of embracing your sweet tooth, Nado Gelato is the perfect spot to end a day in Coronado. The creation of Bottega Italiana, this authentic gelato has been named the “best dessert in town” by locals."

"Mai Marche and consulting chef Spencer Hue create the fabulous flavors at this lovely ice cream parlor in Golden Hill. Their menu rotates monthly, but current summertime offerings include Fancy French Flavor (creme fraiche with lemon curd) and toasted oats with lemon blackberry jam."

Visitors can tour the recreated editor’s office and the original print room to see how they looked in 1868. The prefabricated wooden building was manufactured on the East Coast, shipped to California and reassembled in 1851."

"The museum showcases the region’s unique, colorful, and diverse history exhibiting artifacts, costumes, textiles, art, and photographs detailing life and development of the local area."

"Visit the rumored 'most haunted house in America' located in Old Town San Diego and take a tour of the beautiful home. Explore the two-story Greek Revival-style mansion and see rooms that once served as a general store, San Diego's first commercial theater, a courthouse, and more. A tour of the Whaley House is a tour of San Diego's history."

"Whether you enjoy spotting ghosts and apparitions or have an interest in historic places, the Whaley House is a definite tourist pleaser. The lovely brick two-story structure was built in 1857 by the original owner Thomas Whaley. Its historical significance lies in the many different roles the home played for the community."

"The Whaley House, rumored as one of the most haunted houses in America. In fact, Michigan houses a museum about the historic home. San Diego, however, offers tours for the beautiful two-story mansion."

"We asked our waiter at South Draft in Mission Beach, where is the best Mexican food in San Diego?. He immediately recommended Oscars Mexican Seafood as a great local, hole in the wall place to grab fish tacos in San Diego. He warned us there may be lines, and we avoided them by visiting the shack near La Jolla at lunch time."
