The 25 Best Restaurants in San Diego

"Morning Glory's design hits you with a checklist of Instagram hits—rose-gold accents, tiled floors, Millennial-pink booths, wallpaper galore, and a few rock 'n roll touches like skulls. It's hard to know where to look; thankfully, you'll have plenty of time to take it all in because there's usually a wait, particularly on Saturday mornings. Prolific San Diego restaurant group CH Projects cook up morning rituals from across the globe. There's ginger fried rice, a khachapuri from Georgia, a gourmet take on the egg salad sandwich from 7-Eleven in Japan, and souffle pancakes. There are also coffee and espresso drinks, turmeric lattes served in glass goblets, and a lineup of unique hot chocolates (strawberries with cream, maple cinnamon) available as flights. But the day-drinking menu of low-ABV cocktails is the centerpiece. Try a fizzy refresher like the Morning Glory Spritz, made with grapefruit-infused contratto and sparkling wine." - Archana Ram, Marie Tutko
