BEST BOURGEOIS FOR YOUR BRUNCH
MIMOSA-CHIC
JRDN RESTAURANT Tower23 Hotel | 723 Felspar Street in Pacific Beach 858.270.5736
jrdn.com Prounounced jor’-dan, “hip” doesn’t quite capture the
feel of this place. Neither does “trendy.” Perhaps “instant classic” better describes this sleek seafood destination. The minimalist brunch menu lets the restaurant and the cuisine speak for itself. DON’T MISS: Complimentary Valet!
R GANG EATERY 3683 5th Avenue 619.677.2845
rgangeatery.com Broad menu, fun atmosphere, great flavors and
reasonable prices—no wonder it’s a major gayborhood “it” spot! Look forward to $10 bottomless Mimosas and classic brunch staples with a twist. DO TRY: The Devil’s Kiss—R Gang Eatery’s signature Margarita with house-made Habanero-infused 1800 Silver Tequila, triple sec and citrus juices.
ATOLL RESTAURANT Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa 3999 Mission Boulevard in Mission Bay 858.539.8635
catamaranresort.com The award-winning Atoll Restaurant Sunday Brunch
offers a refreshing array, including assorted hummus, curry salads, lox, fresh salsas…mussels and of course… quiche! The talent featured here also highlights made- to-order sushi. If you’re going to overindulge, this is certainly the place to do it! Conveniently located on the premises is the Catamaran Spa—with seasonal specials available on the resort website. Brunch seating from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. $39.95 per adult. DON’T MISS: Easter Brunch – April 24, 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. …and feel free to bring the family! Kids age 5 and younger eat for free.
LE FONTAINEBLEAU ROOM The Westgate Hotel | 1055 Second Avenue in Downtown 619.557.3655
westgatehotel.com/dining/sunday-brunch $42 per person sure seems like a splurge in compari-
son to other selections. But for this quality, our local AAA Four-Diamond Award-winning hotel could justifiably charge upward of $65—as hotels in larger, snootier cities do. Perhaps this nominal fee isn’t too bad for a ballroom full of seafood, caviar and live piano where you can quench your foo-foo thirst for life’s finer things every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Especially when every guest is given the high-society treatment from the moment he or she sets foot in the grand lobby. Just remember to make a reservation! DON’T MISS: Afternoon Tea on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tea sandwiches…pastries…seasonal berries…live harp music—the kind of high tea experience we all secretly longed for as kids…and last week. Seating is offered 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Call 619.557.3650.
