Top Best French Restaurants in La Jolla Shores Beach

"Love can make you feel like your head’s in the clouds as can the stellar view of the skyline and landing planes from this Bankers Hill classic. That’s probably why it's been the site of so many marriage proposals, Valentine’s dates, and special celebrations since it opened decades ago and especially since it was reimagined by owner Bertrand Hug in 2000. The upscale American menu features standbys like pork chops and duck breasts in their most classic forms as well as modern takes on dishes like swordfish and lamb with smoked date jam."

"Located on the 12th floor in a penthouse setting, the iconic, award-winning Bertrand at Mr. A’s is a special occasion dining venue. For over 50 years, the historic dining establishment has been serving American cuisine at its finest. Despite its sweeping skyline with bay and Pacific views, there’s an absolute thrill of excitement when huge descending jetliners roar past diners, practically at eye level."

"2550 Fifth Ave 12th floor, San Diego, CA 92103 (619)-239-1377. Mister A’s has a lovely view of the city and the bay view. The view gets even better close to sunset."

"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."

"This farm-to-table restaurant located in the village serves breakfast 7 days a week from 9:30 am – 3:00 pm. It features open-air windows, a small outdoor patio, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The menu is ever-changing to reflect what the executive chef can get from local farms and purveyors, and everything is made from scratch."

"With a varied menu hitting all different types of cuisines from around the globe, Whisknladle specializes in approachable, quality cooking with a menu that offers someone for everyone. Guests particularly love the fried chicken sandwich."

"This European style café is located near the Coronado Ferry landing and offers light breakfast items in a relaxed environment. They have an extensive selection of pastries baked fresh each morning as well as house made granola, oatmeal, seasonal fruit, assorted quiche and a Breakfast Panino. Their cafe features a full espresso bar, a large variety of hot teas, green and black iced tea, juices, sodas, beer, wine and mimosas."

"Tartine serves varied bistro fare in a European style cafe setting that welcomes dogs on the outdoor patio. Favorite menu choices include fresh-baked pastries, quiche, curried chicken salad, ham and brie tartine, grilled eggplant paninis, and pan-seared flat iron steak. Open 6am to 10pm daily."

"A tribute to the French neighborhood cafés that serve as the center of social and culinary life, Little Frenchie is a charming Parisian-style bistro and sidewalk cafe that locals and visitors have fallen in love with since it’s opening in May 2019. The produce is regionally sourced, and seafood is obtained from local area fishermen. Everything here is fun, fancy, and fresh."

"A Coronado Island treasure inspired by a classic Parisian bistro, Little Frenchie is a lovely spot for lunch. Chef Matt Sramek looks to Paris for culinary inspiration but to Califo..."

"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. Intentionally minimalistic in design, a bevy of colorful macarons and desserts are housed like fine jewelry in transparent refrigerated cases for roving eyes to adore."

"Café Chloe is the first European-inspired restaurant in San Diego. Located in the East Village, this cosy café features classic French food in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere where diners can linger over a tasty brunch seven days a week. Add on a coffee, tea, or cocktail for a full brunch experience at this delightful spot."

"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."

"Starting out in 1996, Ballast Point is dedicated to experimenting with techniques and exploring different ingredients in their beers. Their gold-medal-winning IPA is their bread-and-butter, so to speak, but they also have an array of seasonal and experimental brews, like a Brut IPA and a Watermelon Dorado. They frequently host events in their tasting room and are known for having distinctive, artistic bottle labels created by Paul Elder."

"Their beers can be found in most stores like BevMo across the US. The brewery is huge, can accommodate many people and is a blast to visit!. My favorite is the grapefruit Sculpin’."
