På San Diegofinder du sol, sand og masser af velsmagende mad - og som i alle andre madglade byer er brunch en vigtig ting.

Uanset om du er på udkig efter plantebaserede varianter af karakteristiske retter, brunchklassikere som tykskåret bacon og perfekt pocherede æg Benedict eller de bedste bundløse mimosaer, så har San Diegos mange brunchrestauranter alt, hvad du behøver.

(Selvfølgelig er det kun på land; hvis du hellere vil være ude på vandet, er City Cruises brunch cruise en uber-populær, champagnefyldt måde at hilse på dagen på).

Where it started

In 1896, the word “brunch” was introduced as the fad of eating between breakfast and lunch. Since then, brunch has gained popularity amongst the crowds who like to sleep in and those who enjoy the practice of mixing alcohol and juices to create iconic brunch beverages. Since brunch is considered between two meals, typically it starts at 9 am and ends around 2 pm, and there are no menu rules. Nothing beats sipping a mimosa and enjoying some sunny weather.

 

Hvor finder du den bedste brunch i San Diego

Her er de bedste brunchrestauranter i San Diego, lige fra designorienterede steder med moderne retter til solrige steder, hvor man kan spise morgenmad ved stranden.

Let’s dig into some of San Diego’s options for the best way to begin your day by chilling on a rooftop, sipping bubbly by the beach, or in a cozy spot over Bloody Mary’s, San Diego has it all.

 

1 Snooze, et spisested på morgenmaden

Dette sted i retro-stil i North Park-kvarteret har masser af gæster til brunch i weekenden, ikke kun takket være den lækre mad og de drinks, men også den vintage stemning, det venlige personale og den gode service.

Den karakteristiske pancake flight er altid en favorit her, ligesom den enorme morgenmadsburrito og de opfindsomme eggs Benedict. Der er også en hel "Plant Power"-del af menuen med vegetariske og veganske valgmuligheder.

 

2 Hob Nob Hill

You’ll find no shortage of trendy new brunch restaurants around San Diego, but Hob Nob Hill has been a local institution since 1944. It’s the place to go for a classic breakfast-brunch experience, serving up diner-breakfast classics like scrambled eggs, omelets, and biscuits and gravy alongside more modern fare, such as avocado toast and churro pancakes. The menu includes San Diego brunch classics, like burritos and huevos rancheros.

 

3 Morning Glory

Hvis du er på udkig efter et unikt, smart brunchsted, der kan give din dag et ekstra pift, er Morning Glory det helt rigtige sted. De lysende lysarmaturer og bænke i lyserøde farver gør omgivelserne lige så exceptionelle som morgenmadsmenuen, som serveres hele dagen.

Ud over de bedste brunch-hits som stegt kylling og vafler og pandekager med veganske valgmuligheder er der også globetrotter på menuen - tænk på birria, khachapuri og breakfast carbonara - som forvandler en almindelig søndagsbrunch til et kulinarisk eventyr. Cocktailmenuen er lige så opfindsom, og der er specialkaffe til at få fingrene i. Morning Glory har også en udendørs terrasse, og den højtliggende udsigt er ret uovertruffen.

 

 

4 Ande-dykning

Duck Dive ligger kun få skridt fra Pacific Beach og er ikke kun et af de bedste steder for en brunch ved havet i San Diego, men også et af de mest alkoholiserede steder. De bundløse mimosaer koster 17,50 dollars, og de kreative cocktails er beregnet til at blive nydt tidligt om morgenen - morgenmadsshot'et kommer for eksempel med bacon. Stemningen er afslappet og strandagtig, og menuen omfatter fremragende mad som PB&J French toast.

 

5 Brækket æggeblomme

Dette klassiske brunchsted har et familievenligt miljø og serverer noget for enhver smag, fra sundheds- og wellness-fokuserede tilbud som acai bowls og avocadotoast til lækre stegepander og belgiske vafler.

Now with multiple locations nationwide, including in La Jolla, the original cafe was founded at Pacific Beach in 1979. It’s a favorite among those who grew up eating there with friends and family, so if you want to dine where the locals do, you can’t go wrong here.

 

6 Morgenmad Republikken

As the name suggests, the hip mini-chain Breakfast Republic is all about the most important meal of the day, and it always ranks among the best brunch spots in San Diego.

Choose from brunch options like omelets, French toast, and pancakes with kid-approved flavors like Oreo cookie, mix it up with bacon mac ‘n’ cheese or a breakfast burger, or go with something from the dedicated vegan menu to keep it meat-free. Wash it all down with one of the excellent drinks, like the all-natural house prosecco or a boozy Bloody Mary, and you’ve got a contender for the best breakfast in town.

 

7 Madison

With a striking indoor dining room and a beautiful outdoor patio, Madison gives its weekend brunch menu a Mediterranean twist. The white-bean shakshuka with peppers, onions, tomatoes, and poached eggs is a favorite, best paired with a creative cocktail or wellness-focused mimosa. Definitely get the waffle churro fries to share with the table!

Honorable mention

Spectacular rooftop views? Check. A beautiful sunken bar and indoor-outdoor lounge? Check. Aside from the view, the menu is top-notch as well with artful blends of French and Alsatian influences like Tartiflette, Savory Dutch Baby, and Fines Herbes Omelettes all on the menu. Crave-worthy handmade pastries, bread, and donuts are a hit too. Enjoy a Jazz Brunch on Saturdays with a NOLA-inspired menu with Frog Legs, Shrimp Po Boys, hushpuppies, and of course beignets, not to mention classic New Orleans cocktails to spice it up. This place gets crowded so make reservations in advance.
