My sister, a friend, and I will be taking a short decompression vacation to the San Diego area in late February. We arrive in San Diego early in the morning on a Friday and will leave around 8PM the following Monday. We’re renting a car and can only check into our Encinitas AirBnB at 3, so we have 6-7 hours in San Diego coming in (8AM-2PM) and then 7 hours on Monday (noon-7PM) before leaving. We’d love recommendations for a wonderful leisurely brunch in San Diego or a good light breakfast (coffee, croissants) and a great lunch, and an early dinner there. Also any recs for Encinitas and vicinity, including markets and specialty foods.
We’re coming from the high desert, so one good sushi experience would be wonderful, as well as any other seafood recommendations. Our home state also lacks great options for Ethiopian, Senegalese, Malaysian/Indonesian, and fresh, authentic Italian. Any of those cuisines would be a treat. We’re Indian and cook that cuisine a lot at home, so not that interested in South Asian unless it’s really special, although we’ll never say no to a great dosa.
Any suggestions, even nonfood suggestions for places to visit, would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
