The Best Restaurants to Try in Del Mar, California | Eater San Diego

"Anchoring the Del Mar Plaza, Cottage Del Mar is a brightly lit restaurant with Victorian decor that overlooks Highway 101, making it an ideal spot for people-watching over breakfast or lunch. Over 30 years ago, the Cottage got its start in La Jolla and it added its third location in Del Mar. On the menu is the popular house granola, a vegan, gluten-free mix that is shipped all over the country. Coffees are roasted at the Encinitas store and shipped directly to the Del Mar restaurant. Stuffed French toast, chilaquiles, and morning glory sandwiches, made with fried eggs, bacon, and smoked Gouda on sourdough, are also popular items. Don’t skip the cold-pressed juices, such as tangerine or watermelon." - Helen I. Hwang
