Top Restaurants in San Diego
"Sugar and Scribe serves up freshly made pastries each day along with custom cakes, artisanal bread and more. Food Network Champion Chef Maeve launched the bakery to fame, going on to win awards like 2017 Best Bakery. Nibble on the scrumptious petit fours to feel like a certified Francophile."
"Home of Food Network’s Holiday Baking Champion Chef Maeve, you will not want to miss this bakery during the holidays. In San Diego, Sugar and Scribe Bakery is known to be a quintessential La Jolla hangout. Experience only high-quality pastries from all over the world here in San Diego!"
"Breakfast, lunch and takeout baked goods make up the menu at Sugar and Scribe, which is extremely popular during breakfast and lunch hours. It’s worth a visit even just to peruse the various baked goods made fresh every day."
"Lofty Coffee is a community hub for coffee in San Diego, which got its start as a small shop in 2011 on HWY 101 in Encinitas. Now they’ve expanded to four locations and a production facility where beans are roasted and pastries are homemade from scratch. Each location is massively important to its neighborhood, serving up sunny patios for conversation, healthy breakfast dishes, the delicious coffee they're known for and homemade pastries baked fresh daily."
"The pork belly is perfectly cooked, both crispy and melt in your mouth (can that be an adjective?), which is oftentimes difficult to find. They also serve shrimp and grits with a spicy kick, chilaquiles, crab cake bennie, steak and eggs and corned beef hash. Start your breakfast off with some banana bread - they make a pretty mean one."
"A warm, comfortable San Diego breakfast restaurant with a stylish atmosphere, serving share plates. Breakfast and brunch items are served on weekends only, but it’s worth the wait. You’ll savor pork belly hash, house-made banana bread, bottomless mimosas, and even a short rib breakfast poutine!"
"Under the direction of Chef Brian Malarkey (Bravo's Top Chef finalist), Searsucker has quickly become a comfortable choice for indulging in eclectic menus. Located on a busy block of the Gaslamp Quarter, this eatery is decidedly Californian.[Learn more]"
"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..."
"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."
"Starting this weekend, Greenfinch Restaurant at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa will be open for brunch Friday-Sunday 8AM to 2PM and for dinner on Saturday and Sunday from 4PM to 9PM. Beginning February 1st, Greenfinch will open daily for breakfast from 8AM to 2PM and will have a Valentine Pop-up Bar Friday and Saturdays from 4PM to 9PM. Additionally, Mustangs & Burros will open daily for dinner from 4PM to 9PM beginning February 1."
"One of the most popular resorts in San Diego, the Estancia La Jolla Hotel Spa, is known for its serenity, beauty, and romanticized environment. The hotel sits right at the heart of Torrey Pines in La Jolla designed in Rancho-style architecture which is inspired a few hints from Spanish architecture. Sprawling nearby is a lush 10 acres verdant garden and the lovely courtyards together make it look like a mini-Santa Barbara."
"Located adjacent to University of California San Diego, this boutique La Jolla hotel boasts an outdoor pool, 3 restaurants and a spa and wellness center. Free Wi-Fi is offered in each guest room. Each luxurious room includes plush guest bathrobes, an in-room safe, a cable TV and a work desk with a high back reading chair."
