8 Must-Try Spots in La Jolla for Breakfast & Brunch
"Located on the 12th floor in a penthouse setting, the iconic, award-winning Bertrand at Mr. A’s is a special occasion dining venue. For over 50 years, the historic dining establishment has been serving American cuisine at its finest. Despite its sweeping skyline with bay and Pacific views, there’s an absolute thrill of excitement when huge descending jetliners roar past diners, practically at eye level."
"Where: 2550 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 You'll indulge on sophisticated cuisine and panoramic views of downtown and San Diego Bay from the 12th floor patio of the iconic Mister A's. Located next to Balboa Park, the restaurant is one of San Diego's cherished and formal culinary landmarks and is the perfect setting for a special occasion or date."
"Visit Bertrand at Mister A’s primarily for the panoramic view of Hillcrest, Midtown, and Downtown. Sip your drink and become one with the city of San Diego. They serve lip-smacking American cuisine with French and Mediterranean influence."
"For good cheap eats in San Diego, head over to one of the Crack Shack’s two locations—the main one in Little Italy, or the second spot in Encinitas. Both are egg-and-chicken-themed festive lunch spots serving chef Richard Blais’s inventive and affordable dishes like the senor croque sandwich, a fried chicken with pickled fresno chiles on brioche; and Mexican poutine, featuring schmaltz fries, pollo asado, and jalapeño cheese wiz. This is a casual indoor-outdoor eatery, and you can sit by the heater if you get chilly."
"What is it: This stylized outdoor coop slings fried chicken and good times. Why go: The adorable setting features picnic tables and red farm chairs set under strung Edison bulbs, a lively al fresco bar and kitchen housed in a modern barn structure. Yet, there’s some serious brawn behind all the playfulness."
"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."
"Juniper and Ivy offers American food with a left-coast edge. The restaurant’s hospitality, excellent cocktails, wines, and vibrant design make it the new place to eat on the west coast. Juniper and Ivy’s lovely interior makes it the perfect place to book for a special event: they offer the second floor overlook or a semi-private space in the dining room."
"Juniper & Ivy’s “comfort food to-go” changes from week to week and can be available for a party of one up to six. Paste entrees have included braised short rib and Swiss cheese ravioli. Suggested wine pairings and batch cocktails can be included for an additional cost."

"Mission BeachEnormous TVs blasting sportsball and endless beer options draw a rowdy crowd to this beachfront bar in Belmont Park, but there are also some prime boardwalk-facing tables away from the din that will reward you with priceless ocean views. The twice-daily happy hour (4-6pm and 9-11pm) is a nice bonus. If you want to avoid the crowds, come in for an early brunch (but be prepared to head directly back to bed... portions are big and the food tends to be heavy)."
"San Diego is known to have one of the top craft brew scenes in the country. Being gluten free we can’t explore it too much, but we did find a gluten free beer on the menu at Draft!. Grab a seat on the front porch at South Draft Mission, and a nice cold beer (they do plenty of local brews) and a plate of ginormous shredded beef nachos to share."

Luckily, the food definitely delivers as well – as do the drinks!"
"Where: 7110 Avenida Encinas Ste 101, Suite 101, Carlsbad, CA 92011. If you’re going to Pelly’s, don’t miss one of their chargrilled seafood sandwiches. With a choice of seafood filling served on sourdough with shredded romaine lettuce, tomato, green onions, and Pelly’s special sauce (not to mention a hefty side of Mexican cabbage slaw), it’s the kind of gut-busting, lip-smacking treat all sandwiches wish they could be."
