Top Best French Restaurants in Calumet Park

"It's always adult swim here—this is where the well-heeled grown-ups linger over their foie gras for at least a few hours. To wit: Mister A's requests business casual attire (collared shirts and closed-toe shoes for men) before 4:30 p.m. But that also means the fine dining at this institution is above reproach."

"A little ways outside of downtown, there’s nothing that compares to the view of Mister A’s. Big ol’ jet airliners will ride past on approach and departure, using the ocean as backdrop with the city skyline showing off its wares. The hype is real, with the food and drinks perfecting the tableau."

"Look no further than Mister A’s, one of the most romantic restaurants in San Diego!. It is the penthouse, fine-dining destinatio..."

"When the craving for comfort food strikes, there’s almost nothing better than a trip to Whisknladel. This decade-old stalwart elevates classics like buttermilk fried chicken with gourmet mac and cheese and a side of pancetta braised green beans, and a menu that sources almost entirely from local farms. Charred bone marrow gets cozy with lemon and capers, while local market fish takes a swim in lemon butter sauce and the pork chop basks in a peach vinaigrette."

"With a farm-to-table approach, Whisknladle succeeds in making simple food taste extraordinary. The menu changes with the season and is void of fuss. Everything is made from scratch, including the tonics and purees for the artisanal cocktails."

"1044 Wall St, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Inventive & artisanal nibbles & cocktails in a cozy lounge or covered, outdoor bistro setting."

"Francophiles will love this chic new Parisian style bistro and its culinary ode to Provençe – think escargot, steak frites, fromage, plus French beers and wines. Leading the kitchen is executive chef Matt Sramek who worked under Thomas Keller at Bouchon in Beverly Hills. Now open early on the weekends there’s a morning menu until 11 a.m."

"Little Frenchie was one of my favorite spots on Coronado Island. There are many brunch places around, but this one had to be the cutest in my opinion."

"Le Parfait Paris is San Diego's newest patisserie and boulangerie. Located in the downtown Gaslamp District, Le Parfait Paris is distinctly chic with its large, open windows and street-side patio.

"The name may make it sound like a bakery, which it is; it just happens to have a fantastic selection of beers that are all on draft, as well!. It’s nestled in the La Jolla Shores area, so it’s the perfect spot to hit on a beach day. After a day of surfing and swimming in the Pacific, there’s truly nothing like a crisp, refreshing beer."

"This tiny omakase sushi spot has just a dozen or so seats and a menu of impeccable sushi and sashimi, sourced from both local fisheries and the famous Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan and expertly served under the guidance of Chef John Hong. This is the place to slow down and notice every detail—like a fine wine tasting, the items are presented in a specific order designed to complement and enhance each flavor. In non-COVID times, the menu is divided into 50-minute ($50) and 90-minute ($100) experiences, but due to current seating limitations, they’re only serving the 90-minute bill of fare."

"In an omakase dining experience, the menu is (quite literally) out of diners’ hands, but at Hidden Fish, San Diego’s first all-omakase sushi bar, you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic meal. Housed in a minimal 13-seat space, the focus here is on the ingredients and the service. Diners can choose a 50-minute 12-course spread or a premium 90-minute experience, which includes 18 courses."

"Hidden Fish Sushi serves Omakase-only style which basically means you sit down and let the chef bring you out food. This tiny eatery has but 13 seats. Eight of these are for the $50, 12 piece tasting menu that takes 50 minutes."

"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."

"Little guppies can splash about this fountain found on the lower level at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Grab a cup of coffee or delicious frozen yogurt and sit down at the nearby seating to enjoy the kid fun; don't worry seating is outside of the splash zone!. Even more, when done you can check out One Paseo across the street with cute shops and good eats."

"In the northern San Diego suburb of Del Mar is the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. It’s located on Del Mar Heights Road, just off of the 5 freeway. The mall is roughly a 30-minute drive north of downtown San Diego."
