The Best New Restaurants in San Diego, March 2025

"Inspired by the rolling, pristine coast of Leucadia, a beachside community in Encinitas, Leu Leu, from chef Claudette Zepeda, offers a menu defined by influences from the Levant region, Peru, Japan, and Baja California. Find dishes like yellowtail crudo with lemongrass coconut leche de tigre and chile chiltepín, rock crab ceviche-stuffed chiles güeros, lamb shank pibil, and duck confit with curry mole. Visually, the space is marked by lush seagreen bar, glinting marble tables, eye-catching wall tchotchkes, and mood lighting." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo, Eater Staff
