Top 5 Brunches in San Diego CheapOair Staff November 21, 2013 Food & Drink, Interests San Diego boasts an incredible lineup of yummy restaurants. Here's a quick guide to some of my favorite go-to brunch locations. 1. Parkhouse Eatery 4574 Park Blvd San Diego, CA 92116 (619) 295-7275 parkhouseeatery.com/ Brunch at Parkhouse Eatery is a local favorite. Enjoy the ecclectic atmosphere of University Heights as you dine in one of three adorable house locations: the outdoor garden patio, living room, or hearth room of the restaurant, each boasting its own unique charm. The food at Parkhouse Eatery is superb with generous portions. Brunch items are offered a la carte. 2. North Shore Cafe 3125 Ocean Front Walk San Diego, CA 92109 (858) 228-9283 wavehousesandiego.com/north-shore-cafe Although this spot doesn't have a specific "brunch" menu, it frequents best San Diego brunch talk because it offers both breakfast and lunch all day- brunch any time you want it. Located right on the ocean in Mission Beach, nestled in the WaveHouse center in Belmont Park, North Shore Cafe is one of the most beautiful places to brunch on the boardwalk. Try an omelet or Ahi Salad; everything is good. 3. Snooze 3940 5th Ave San Diego, CA 92103 (619) 500-3344 snoozeeatery.com/ No San Diego brunch list is complete without including Snooze. This Hillcrest restaurant attracts a giant following, with weekend waits on the upwards of 3 hours! The restaurant is a pro at not only incredibly tasty food, but it also boasts an uber hip environment and a strong dedication to sustainability: they recycle and compost over 90% of ALL their waste, work with local farmers to offer the freshest and most quality food, and so much more. The BLT and Reuben sandwiches are local brunch favs. Bonus Tip: If the wait at Snooze deters you, try Great Maple, also located in Hillcrest on Washington. Many argue its brunch supremacy to Snooze, and the wait is significantly shorter. 4. Le Fontainebleau 1055 2nd Ave San Diego, CA 92101 (619) 238-1818 westgatehotel.com/ If you are looking for a fancy schmancy brunch in San Diego, head to Le Fontainebleau located downtown inside the Westgate Hotel. For forty years, this has been one of San Diego's go-to brunch spots; enjoy the full beverage and dessert bar while you dine on seafood, fresh baked pastries, fruit, and gourmet selections. Did I mention the live piano music? 5. Cafe 21 2736 Adams Ave San Diego, CA 92116 (619) 640-2121 or 750 5th Ave San Diego, CA 92101 (619) 795-0721 cafe-21.com/ With two locations, in University Heights and the Gaslamp District, you are never too far from a Cafe 21. What started with an exceptional flare for making baklava transformed into these two restaurants intent on local, organic, made-from-scratch meals at "Nature's Kitchen." Be sure to try their Shrimp Corn cake, a unique twist on Eggs Benedict. Hungry? Than book a flight with;CheapOair and get going! Photo credit: balise42
