Monday

Lunch at Encontro is my go to spot. Their Mary’s Chicken Sandwich and portobello fries are my absolute favorite. Barleymash is my favorite Monday night spot. The Duck Confit is quite memorable and I love their Downtown Chanco cocktail.   Where to Eat in San Diego

 

Tuesday

Lunch near the beach is a good way to remember the reason why we love SD. I mix it up by going to Miss B’s Coconut ClubDuck Dive or PB Alehouse. Taco Tuesday at Sirena is a treat. They have several tacos only available on Tuesday. This is a San Diego gem.

 

Wednesday

I get my day started at Bear Republic CrossFit (they also offer a free community class on weekends). You can find me at Romesco Wednesday nights. They also have live music (Noche Bohemia) and the best Tapas.

Thursday

Farmer’s Bottega is my weekly lunch spot. They have a great patio in the back of the restaurant. Going to a comedy show at The American Comedy Co is a great way to get my laugh on and they also have some good food and drinks!

 

Friday

My perfect Friday is heading to Valle de Guadalupe. I stay at Casa Mayoral in one of the four cottages they have. Then lunch at Finca Altozano and dinner at Corazon de Tierra  are a must. My favorite wineries are Torres AlegreAdobe GuadalupeLechuzaClos de tres Cantos and Lomita.

 

Saturday

As I continue to explore all the great craft beers of San Diego, I like Barrel Republic. But first, I always start with some pizza from Woodstocks, located a few doors down.

 

Sunday

Missiongathering Christian Church is where I go to give thanks and reflect on the many great blessings in my life.After church it’s brunch time at Breakfast Republic—Yes, it’s worth the wait.
