Best Family Restaurants in Blossom Valley

"With 9 locations in San Diego and the surrounding areas, there is a Breakfast Republic near you, so no matter where you are staying this is one place not to be missed!. We visited the Mission Valley location and the decor was just our style, very industrial with lots of wood accents and metal details. And let’s talk about the food."

"The latest high-profile, mega-project from restaurateur, and part-time Coronado resident, Sam Fox (North Italia, Flower Child, Blanco Tacos + Tequila and founder of True Food Kitchen). Located in the old Costa Azul space, The Henry will sport a modified mid-century style and a sprawling, all-day lineup of dishes (The West Hollywood dinner menu has everything from pretzels to potstickers, burgers to black kale salad). The self-proclaimed “greatest neighborhood restaurant” has a target opening date of mid-August."

"One of the newest eateries on the Coronado restaurant scene, The Henry blends timeless Gatsby-era elegance with a relaxed atmosphere, making dining here a very eclectic experience. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant offers both patio and inside dining. Their iconic green and white umbrellas are a beacon to hungry diners."

"For the best sushi in La Mesa, diners head to Banbu Sushi Bar and Grill. This restaurant has beautiful outdoor dining options with firepits, so head here on a nice night, no matter..."

"It’s authentic, albeit in a San Diego way, owned by the same family forever and serving the classics. Their carne asada street tacos are the way to go, served with rice, beans, cabbage salad, and endless chips, like all of their plates it’s pretty hard to spend more than $15. Excellent house margaritas require no upgrade."

It offers familiarity and a standardized menu so it’s easy for patrons to find their favorite dishes in any town."

"This Imperial Beach spot has been owned by French Chef Fabrice Gaunin for 17 years. With prime views of the pier, Cow-A-Bunga serves equally impressive ice cream. Along with his wife, Nelly, each flavor is handmade in the shop one bucket at a time, sourcing farmers markets for local ingredients, like raspberries and strawberries for special batches."

"This frozen yogurt spot has been a local favorite for decades. I like nonfat peanut butter. I have been eating Froglander’s since I was in college except now they serve crepes and shakes, too."

"Hillcrest Brewing is more than just a great place to sample a wide variety of specialty beers, some far-above-average tavern food specialties, and a convivial atmosphere. Hillcrest can also lay claim to being the world’s first LGBTQ-owned-and-operated brewery in the world. So be sure to stop in to try a pint from among their deep range of tasty tappers and say hello to their “hunky brewsters."
