Where to Eat: BREAKFAST
My favorite local spots for an amazing breakfast
This is a long time favorite of mine. Place your order (Cash only) give them your name, then snag a table on their outdoor patio with views of the boardwalk. Don't order coffee with your food- Go to the Kono's patio where you can find a coffee stand and order it there. It is delicious!
My favorite order:
#3 breakfast burrito and the pancakes!

Man, this has to be my favorite. It is RIDICULOUSLY good. They have everything you could ever want... from man candy bacon, to stuffed french toast. Ask about the latte of the day or get a mimosa flight with an antioxidant juice to pair. (Acai is my go-to). The potatoes are food-coma worthy.
My Favorite:
-The Tuscan Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon and avocado
-Coconut Latte
-Buttermilk pancakes

If you want classic California burritos THIS.IS.IT.
A secret local spot I'm almost hesitant to share ;)
Not only is it a quick walk from the condo (2 minutes), the price and quality cannot be beat. I have been to every Mexican restaurant in PB, and this is my #1 for burritos.

If you are a bit older, I highly recommend The French Gourmet for an elegant breakfast that may include champagne and a delicate pastry. Most people who come in once are hooked and return the next day!

Where to Eat: Lunch/Dinner + Happy Hour
My favorite local spots for happy hour, lunch, and dinner!
Located in the beautiful Tower 23 Hotel, JRDN is my favorite spot for Happy Hour! Relax in their beachfront lounge, sip on a nice glass of wine, and explore their sophisticated menu of fresh seafood while watching a beautiful sunset.

Ask anyone in PB and they will all agree, Costa Brava is our neighborhood's top restaurant. I've backpacked all over Spain and while I absolutely loved the food, these tapas are outstanding and taste like they came straight from a Catalan kitchen.
My favorites: Besides their entire menu...
Bacon wrapped dates
Oxtail
Filet Mignon skewers
Cheese plate with a nice glass of Tempranillo and fried chorizo

Located less than a one minute walk from the condo, this small hole-in-the-wall spot is the favorite when it comes to fish tacos. Be prepared for a line! It goes quickly though :)

This is by far the best Sushi in San Diego. While it is quite $$$$$ you won't find fresher sushi anywhere else. Sushi Chef Ota is from Japan and opened Sushi Ota over 20 years ago!

Local fresh fish daily! I recommend going for lunch where the dinner options are given at a much cheaper cost. You can also grab a table on their patio when its a nice warm day out.
