The 8 Must-Visit New Restaurants This Summer | Bon Appétit
"Led by Tara Monsod, this La Jolla dining room presents French‑leaning cuisine infused with her Filipino heritage and international experience, focusing on Southern California seasonal ingredients and inventive Asian touches. Dishes showcased include pork collar with creamed wakame, pork jus, and mustard seeds; duck breast with tamarind purée, kumquat, and chicory; and a strawberry mille‑feuille for dessert. The restaurant occupies a restored 1930s building whose design retains and celebrates many original architectural elements." - ByKate Kassin
