10 Restaurants in La Jolla That You Must Try
"Located in the Grande Colonial Hotel on (910) Prospect Street, NINE-TEN is definitely one of the best restaurants in La Jolla for a menu determined by what is in season while still keeping some guest favorites on the menu. It’s perfect for a night out, whether it’s a celebration or just date night. The veteran Executive Chef, Jason Knibb, has been at the helm for the past decade and trained under highly-respected names like Wolfgang Puck."

"Eddie V’s offers some of the best fine-dining in La Jolla featuing a seafood and steak menu along with a live jazz cocktail bar. What to get: reportedly, the Lobster Tacos are “to die for”. We also think the Bananas foster cake is worth a shot, particularly if you like your desserts served flambe!"
"If tacos and margaritas are what you are looking for, this may be the spot for you!. Offering happy hour Monday – Friday from 3:00 – 5:00 pm, this casual spot features $4 tacos and $9 Puesto Perfect Margaritas. They are known for their fish tacos and local favorites include the Maine Lobster, Chicken Al Pastor and the Zucchini and Cactus options."
"This is a great choice for a casual lunch, family dinner or group outing. Puesto is an artisanal Mexican La Jolla restaurant that offers a little more of a full-service feeling. The colorful atmosphere keeps things fun and cosmopolitan, and the menu is a great combo of light starters and classic tacos."
"Given the lines you’ll almost inevitably find at the original Puesto—an authentic taqueria so beloved, it’s expanding into a small SoCal empire—you may well be discouraged. But don’t be: Simply put your name down, walk the two blocks to the beach..."
"Stunning San Diego rooftop bar that with its double-terrace setup offers one of the most impressive views the city has to offer. From one terrace you can catch beautiful sunsets over the ocean and Coronado Island, and also see into the Petco Park arena, and from the smaller terrace on the opposite side you get lovely vistas over the skyline. Decorated with lounge sofas, cosy fire-pits and front row bar stool seats, the rooftop has a vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for fun after works or just some relaxed lounging."
"I guarantee there’s not a better rooftop bar in town offering views like the Altitude Sky Lounge at the Marriott San Diego Gaslamp Quarter. It’s one of the city’s best and busiest rooftop bars. At 22 stories high, it not only offers panoramic vistas of the downtown, but it’s also a perfect spot to watch the Padres play at our beloved San Diego Stadium Petco Park."
"First, it’s close to Petco Park, and second, it’s rooftop bar, Altitudes, is a great spot for a sunset cocktail!. There are several Marriotts in the Gaslamp quarter, so make sure to double-check the name when you make your reservation!"
"Located on the 7th floor at the hotel Andaz San Diego, and up here you get an absolutely magical 360-degree view of the San Diego skyline. Both rooftop restaurant and bar, offering American fare with a creative SoCal twists from lunch and onwards, along with a wide range of signature cocktails, local beers on draft, wines and bottle service. Relaxing lunch and lounge on weekdays, while on weekends the space transforms into a high-energy, chic nightclub."
"If you fancy yourself part of the hip, nightlife scene in San Diego, then you’ve probably heard of The Rooftop by STK. This rooftop restaurant and bar caters to a young, vibrant crowd. Complete with a swimming pool, cabanas, and live DJs on Friday and Saturday nights, The Rooftop by STK has everything you’ll need for a lavish, exciting night out on the town."
"There’s never a bad time to hit the multi-faceted RoofTop600. Beginning at 6:30, there’s breakfast with private cabanas, then a bevy of sunbathers take over the pool area, offering eye-candy all around. At night, DJs spin hip-hop, top 40, and EDM making this space an open-air nightclub worthy of note."
"Imperial BeachConveniently located right at the entrance to the Imperial Beach Pier, Cow-A Bunga Ice Cream has been serving its handcrafted ice cream to locals since 2000. Grab a cone, ice cream sandwich, or sundae and go for a stroll on the pier or along the beach.
