The 18 best restaurants in San Diego
"Located near La Jolla Cove, guests in this restaurant are always pleased to find picturesque views while indulging, and some fine dishes. For starters, they have a crab and corn chowder, Maine lobster bisque, and a chilled Gulf shrimp cocktail style of soup. In addition, there are three variants of sandwiches and various authentic local entrees."
"Coastline views set the scene for a night of luxurious La Jolla fine dining. Savor fresh seafood and steaks—hand cut and aged for more than 28 days—while you relax and bask in the calm atmosphere. Check the live jazz calendar to see who takes the stage in the V Lounge each night."
"1270 Prospect Street San Diego, CA 92037(858) 459-5500Make Your Reservations Today$$$$ | Seafood. First, the charismatic vibes will draw you in. Then the friendly host will kindly ask you if you have reservations (which I recommend you have)."
"Buona Forchetta is all about pizza—Neapolitan-style, specifically—with blistered crusts, San Marzano tomato sauce, and five-star olive oil (Italian-born owner Matteo Cattaneo hails from a line of olive oil producers, and ships in his family's liquid gold by the barrel). Pies are simple, allowing high-quality ingredients like fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil, and the much-beloved spicy salami to shine. Grab a seat on their oft-packed patio, illuminated by string lights and filled with leafy trees, and soak in the warm California night while you wait."
"Buona Forchetta is owned by Matteo Cattaneo, a born-and-raised Italian who was determined to bring a taste of his homeland to San Diego. Guests can choose from a wide selection of appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, and meat and seafood dishes. The excellent wine list is sourced from around the world and has a perfect pairing for every meal."
"I was recently in Italy intent on eating my way through Rome, Florence, and Venice. Along the way I found incredible food unlike anything I have ever tasted in San Diego. That is, until I discovered Bouna Forchetta."
"If you’re looking for a solid taco or burrito, head to Taco Stand. It’s inspired by the taco stands of Tijuana and Baja Mexico and busy for a reason. It’s best to go on the early side to avoid peak lunch and dinner crowds (or opt for takeout)."
"Undeniably authentic Mexican in a casual spot walking distance to the beach. A local favorite is the adobado tacos, which they roast on a spit right at the restaurant."
"The Taco Stand is a popular counter-order taco stand with limited indoor seating. Everything is made-to-order. We like the spicy shrimp tacos and al pastor tacos."
"A family favorite in Coronado is always the Village Pizzeria (bayside location). Its a classic pizza joint with a gorgeous view of the bay. It is nestled in a cute shopping center and the pizza dough is made with imported New York water- yes for reals!!"
"Village Pizza has great Italian Food and there are about 8-10 tables outside that are dog friendly!. However, no beer or wine is served outside."
"The guy who just took my order was so rude, idk if it was cause I'm Hispanic but he was so nice to everyone else there asking about their day, but w..."
"If you love Chinese food, you have to visit Panda Country Restaurant, which serves a variety of food items on their menu for lunch and dinner. Most people start with their appetisers and soups. They also serve specialties, like their deep-fried shrimp or chicken, sizzlers, soft noodles with chicken and kung pao san yan with shrimp or chicken."
"Built in 1967, this historic San Diego bridge offers a great perspective for sunrise shots. It's no Golden Gate Bridge, but in the early morning hours, this bridge really stands out as something unique. The perspective of this shot was taken on the Coronado-side of the bridge near the Coronado Tidelands Park."
"The San Diego-Coronado Bridge is a five-lane bridge that, when completed in 1969, connected San Diego to Coronado. It is 11,179 feet (3,407 meters) long. Below the bridge in Barrio Logan is Chicano Park, which features over 70 Chicano art murals."
"Built in 1967, the Coronado Bridge is an architectural marvel. It’s instantly recognizable as part of the San Diego skyline, and it winds and twists around the bay for a distance of more than 11,000 feet. It even lights up at night!"
"Along with a lot of other classic dishes you would find at your local sushi place... But you get to serve y..."
"When you come to this brewery, you’re not just getting a tasting room — you’re also getting an incredible beer garden that you’ll want to stay in all afternoon. Established in 1989, this beer brewing company exemplifies the Southern California lifestyle with its refreshing brews and laid-back atmosphere. It’s also credited as being one of the first breweries to kick off the craft beer scene in San Diego."
