"A French Gothic cathedral meets a death metal bar in this unique and eclectic eatery. Located in the former Alchemy space in South Park, KINDRED is an exclusively vegan restaurant with the aesthetic of a European comic magazine blended with a 1920s Parisian cocktail bar and a menu to match. Offering an array of unusual and delicious food, the menu features dishes such as cornmeal-crusted tempeh on a rye pita with kale fennel kraut, smoked beets, and Sriracha Thousand Island sauce, spicy Grilled Seitan skewers, and Memphis BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich with crispy house-made potato chips."
"You’ll happily go vegan for a day at cocktail bar/restaurant KINDRED. This South Park eatery serves both awesome vegan cuisine and creative drinks—all in a beautiful, funky space. KINDRED offers dinner and drinks daily and brunch on weekends."
"The decor is so chic, & even if you’re not vegan, you will still love it (I am not vegan!!). They also have dinner & a popping bar situation with great cocktails, but personally their brunch is the main reason I go!. Location: South Park"
"Plumeria Vegetarian Restaurant is an upscale Thai and vegetarian restaurant at the end of Park Boulevard in University Heights that offers an outstanding vegan dining experience. Boasting a menu focused on South Asian cuisine with a particular focus on Thai flavors, the restaurant promises a culinary feast of dishes such as pumpkin curry in red curry sauce, mock chicken satay with peanut sauce, glass noodles with mixed vegetables and tofu, and petite flower-shaped crispy wonton cups. The environmentally-friendly restaurant also offers a dollar discount for to-go customers who bring their own food containers."
"Upscale in decor but modest in price, Plumeria sits just at the very north end of Park Blvd. Featuring a menu based around South Asian cuisine, with an emphasis on Thai food, it’s the perfect place for a savory, spicy meal with menu items that eschew fish sauce and other animal products, save for an optional egg in a few instances. As with most South Asian food, Plumeria leans heavily on the spices, though these are adjustable to your taste."
"With a menu based on the principals of Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet, this relaxed eco-chic concept caters to a variety of diets, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Lunch and dinner menu standouts include the bison burger, sweet potato hash and kale crunch salad with avocado and grapefruit. Libations, including handcrafted cocktails like the ginger margarita and vegan Thai piña colada, plus organic wines are also not to be missed."
"This isn't your average cinnamon roll, in more ways than one. The cinnamon rolls are all DIY with frosting flavors like cake batter and coffee and toppings like cookie dough and Oreo cookies. The cinnamon rolls are also completely vegan."
"One of the most famous vegan restaurants in San Diego, some say Donna Jean has become too hyped up, but I think it’s worth visiting at least once for some tasty home-cooked vegan food. It has became hyped up for a reason, after all (hint: the food is all kinds of gooey delicious). Donna Jean serves up plant-based vegan homestyle comfort food, so they’re not the healthiest vegan spot on this list."
"Located just two blocks from the tree-lined streets of Balboa Park, diners of all kinds flock to Donna Jean to enjoy homemade vegan pizza and pasta. Named in homage to chef Roy Elam’s late mother, the restaurant boasts a spacious patio and herb garden for customers to enjoy year-round. Locals love this spot for a date night while others regularly order the speckled wood-fired pizza to-go."
"Where: 2949 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 The rustic, comfortable setting is the perfect complement to Donna Jean's seasonal plant-based cuisine that even the most stubborn meat eaters can appreciate. This everyday restaurant is a neighborhood place where you feel welcomed and at home every time you walk through the door."
"As one of San Diego’s youngest craft breweries (first opening its doors in 2017), Thorn has already carved out a respectable niche among the county’s most successful sources of world-class beer. Thorn has grown its distribution throughout the region from this 30-barrel brewhouse and tasting room. Stop in to sample from the list of year-round favorites, seasonal specialties, and limited-release brews sure to satisfy."
"Thorn Brewing offering beer delivery from their Barrio Logan location. Deliveries are made Monday, Wednesday. Friday, and Saturday within a 14 mile radius of 92113."
"Within Old Town don’t miss Casa de Estudillo, which is one of the few original buildings (many are reproductions), Whaley House and Museum, which is believed to be haunted and Junípero Serra Museum, literally the place where California began. You can get more information here."
"Built in 1825 to house one of San Diego’s earliest families, the building is reputed to be haunted by the ghosts of prior residents."
