La Jolla Restaurants
"This casually elegant restaurant with indoor seating or sidewalk tables on Prospect Street offers a unique seasonal style of California cuisine dictated by the local harvest. Happy hour is offered Monday – Friday from 3:30 – 6:30 pm and features a ½ priced bar food menu, $5 glasses of red and white wine and $2 off all beers. We recommend the Harissa Grilled Shrimp Toast with avocado and the Lamb Meatballs; both are reasons we’d return again."
"Then 9 out of ten chances are you are going to love the Nine-Ten restaurant. To start off, their wine list is one of their best features, and if on a budget, you can visit on Wednesdays when they have half price on selected bottles. Run by Jason Knibb who has worked in the restaurant industry in many countries, the restaurant will deliver the best three and four-course meals in La Jolla."
"910 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 964-5400Make Your Reservations Here$$ | Seasonal Cuisine. In the Grande Colonial Hotel, there is a Michelin reviewed restaurant named Nine-Ten. They interestingly don’t have a set style of cuisine."
"Or rooftop restaurant I should say because Mister A’s is more a restaurant than a bar. Mister A’s has more of a classy, fine dining atmosphere. It’s perfect for date night and if you are looking for a restaurant with a view this is definitely the place to be."
"You’ll have to plan ahead if you want to partake the elegance of Mister A’s. This sophisticated rooftop restaurant is one of San Diego’s toughest reservations (and for good reason). Dining at Mister A’s is a coveted experience."
"With roots as a jacket-required dinner room, Bertrand's has since turned to a more casual atmosphere while continuing to provide one of the best penthouse restaurant experiences in California.[Learn more]"
"The weekend crowds will always wait because they know two things: The line moves pretty quick, and the welcoming service that awaits is as good as the food. Swami’s started as a humble juice bar in Encinitas and has grown to nine current locations throughout San Diego, most being in North County. You can get a fresh smoothie, delicious Acai bowls, and vegetarian and vegan plates here."
"After eating the rest of the things on this list you might need a bit of a cleanse. Nourish yourself with an açai bowl before heading to the beach for a swim so you feel justified eating more food porn tomorrow."
"SOL CAL Café was founded by Jacob Bell, a former NFL player, who said it was his passion to bring healthy, affordable options to the community. The colorful shop offers juices, smoothies, sandwiches, breakfast foods, bowls, and coffee drinks. While not a strictly vegetarian restaurant, many of the dishes are already vegetarian, and most items can be made vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free upon request."
"Tin Leaf Fresh Kitchen is a casual eatery offering Californian cuisine and family-style meals-to-go. Situated along El Camino Real street, it has an outdoor patio seating area for your kids to run around. Not only are they family-friendly, but they are also eco-friendly too."
"With a focus on taking locally sourced food and building each dish from scratch, Tin Leaf Fresh Kitchen, produces fresh flavorful food with a "keep it simple" attitude. Enjoy a menu full of vegan and vegetarian delights as well as meat and fish dishes."
"Enjoy fresh fish and chips, fish tacos or a South of the Border Salad at Single Fin––a surf-themed restaurant with good eats. Blue booths surrounded by surf fins and driftwood make this a fitting Mission Beach lunch spot. Insider's Tip: Take a bike ride along the Mission Bay bike trails then head here for eats."
"Tower 23 is located mere steps away from the legendary Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, featuring ultra-modern, high-end design and décor, perfect for the savvy adult traveler. This exquisite beachfront property offers sleek guestrooms with signature Serenity beds, a blend of glass, teak, and chrome finishes, and a white and cool blue color scheme for an air of modern tranquility. They are known for their award-winning cuisine at their trendy JRDN Restaurant, which serves California cuisine with a sophisticated edge."
"On-Site Dining, A Chic Lounge, Free Wi-Fi And A Stellar San Diego Beachside Spot Top The Charts At The Non-Smoking Tower 23 Hotel.

While previous spots on this list featured fun and chill vibes, Figaro Dessert Café brings class and elegance in serving great coffee and desserts. They offer a large menu filled with intriguing flavors and an exciting display of gelato, cakes, macarons, and tarts."
"You can choose from any of their homemade cookies, brownies, or even donuts to hold together this decadent sandwich. They have a wide range of original cookie and ice cream flavors to pick from, and you can even get your sandwich rolled in a topping ranging from brownie bites to Fruity Pebbles. #SpoonTip: This treat tastes better at the beach."
"Not that the classic thin brownie and vanilla ice cream sandwich isn’t great, but sometimes you just need to mix it up. Check out The Baked Bear, an ice cream sandwich shop where you can customize your base (cookies, brownies or donuts), your ice cream flavor and your toppings."
"You may have heard San Diego’s a great place for Mexican food, but that's not quite accurate. Instead, what you're getting is Cali-Mex: an Americanized version of what you'd find south of the border."
"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."
