Modern Jewish deli with Ashkenazi & Sephardic dishes, giant latkes
"An excellent, casual weekday breakfast is hidden inside a La Jolla office building at Gold Finch. This dining hall-esque, modern Jewish deli serves things like green shakshuka and challah french toast that are best eaten outside to their huge patio. We particularly love how the horseradish cream on the loaded giant latke perks up the caramelized onions and meaty mushrooms—it’s so filling you won’t even need the lox add-on. You’ll probably already have a bit of leftovers, but grab the apricot rugelach and chocolate babka bun with orange custard on your way out." - Sabrina Medora
"After finally nailing down Tuesday breakfast plans with that one illusive friend, don’t be alarmed when you roll up to Gold Finch and find an office building. Inside is this dining hall-esque, modern Jewish deli with green shakshuka you can eat while sunbathing on their huge patio. We love the loaded giant latke because of the meaty mushrooms, golden caramelized onions, fried egg, and a dollop of horseradish cream—it’s so filling you won’t even need the lox add-on. You’ll probably already have a bit of leftovers, but grab the apricot rugelach and daily babka bun on your way out." - sabrina medora
"This modern Jewish delicatessen showcases Ashkenazi and Sephardic-style cooking. The latest offering from Tracy Borkum of Urban Kitchen Group (Cucina Urbana and Artifact at the Mingei Museum) features favorites like the loaded giant latke, challah French toast, or the flavorful matzo ball soup based on Borkum’s grandmother’s recipe." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
"Open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, the Torrey Pines mesa restaurant regularly offers a slew of options like pastrami and matzo ball soup. Don’t miss the impressive latke tower, which includes latkes, tzimmes brisket, and chicken schnitzel for $48." - Helen I. Hwang
"This modern Jewish deli features classics like matzo ball soup, bagels with lox, and pastries such as knish and rugelach as well as a breakfast menu highlighted by a giant latke topped with a fried egg and horseradish labneh, shakshuka, and challah toast. Order the half-and-half Reuben to sample both the pastrami and corned beef, which comes with crispy crushed potatoes cooked with schmaltz."
