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

"Viewpoint Brewery Company, the first brewery to set up digs in Del Mar, has been a local favorite since it opened its doors in 2017. A short walk or drive from the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the family-friendly, open-air restaurant offers a bird’s-eye view of the San Dieguito Lagoon, replete with wildlife and wildflowers. There’s a short nature trail at the back of the restaurant, perfect for a post-meal meander. The only brick-and-mortar location for Viewpoint also features standout eats, including the backyard burger, fish and chips, and a kids’ menu. Don’t skip on the personal banana pie. Pair with a pint from its wide selection of fantastic beers, or try the custom beer flights where diners can customize or choose the light, hoppy, or brewer’s flight." - Helen I. Hwang
