- PpetehSan Diego •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023On the whole, our dining experience was good, but not at the same level that we have long been used to. Specifically, the soup of the day, lobster bisque, was at best questionable. It tasted more like butternut squash than lobster.More infoAu Revoir$$$$• French• Hillcrest•4.4

Discover San Diego
San Diego, California, is home to restaurants that serve classic foods as well as local flavors. There's the iconic double bacon cheeseburger served with fries and a drink. Another local favorite is the carne asada fries available at local taco shops. While you're at a taco shop, you might also try the California burrito, which features the same carne asada fries wrapped up in a tortilla. If you are in the mood for a rich breakfast, you should try tiramisu pancakes, which were voted the best pancakes in San Diego. Those who like Indian food can find dishes like phanaeng curry with a side of rice. You can also visit places serving garlic naan, an Indian bread that goes well with curry.
