Eat and Drink in San Diego

San Diego is an up-and-coming culinary destination, thanks to its stunning Pacific Ocean setting, proximity to Mexico, diverse population and the area’s extraordinary farming community. Increasingly the city’s veteran top chefs are being joined by a new generation of talented chefs and restaurateurs who are adding stylish restaurants with innovative food and drink programs to the dining scene.

With all of the restaurants scattered in San Diego, such as food stands, pizza and Korean, the only difficulty you'll have will be deciding where to go to eat! This vicinity has an ample selection of nightlife venues so you're unlikely to find yourself sitting around with nothing to do of an evening.

Unsurprisingly, since the city is just a 30-minute drive from the border, San Diego is a great place to eat fresh and fiery Mexican food, whether it’s traditional fare or more contemporary cuisine available in fusion restaurants. Then there’s Little Italy where you’ll find locally run restaurants serving freshly made pasta and other Italian delicacies. The city also has a thriving gourmet restaurant scene and if your wallet is up for it, you’ll be able to dine in real style, especially in the downtown area.
