La Jolla Holiday Meals and Deals
I love La Jolla at this time of the year. We may not have snow, but there’s no shortage of Christmas decorations and holiday cheer. Because I grew up in the Midwest, it took me a while to get used to warm winter holidays, but now I wouldn’t trade a Christmas morning walk on La […]
Sur La Table
Sur La Table La Jolla opened with great fanfare last summer and has won the hearts of local home cooks and foodies. They offer cooking classes focused on seasonal cuisine (“fantastic fall soups”) and are big on teaching techniques (“essential knife skills”) and international cuisines (‘tapas and paella”). I really appreciate that classes take place […]
Dinner at La Valencia
It’s no easy task keeping up with the renovations at La Valencia, La Jolla’s landmark Spanish Colonial hotel. In a previous article, I mentioned some of the exciting changes happening to the building, but last night I experienced another wow factor. Chef Daniel Barron has taken over the kitchen at La Valencia and introduced new […]
La Jolla Art and Wine Festival
Hey World – if you are thinking about visiting San Diego in the near future, can I suggest that you plan to be here on October 13 and 14?On those days, Girard Avenue (the main drag in San Diego’s favorite coastal community) will be closed to traffic, and a wine and beer garden, live music, […]

Where NOT to eat in La Jolla
This won’t make me popular with a couple of local restaurateurs, but I have had two very disappointing meals in the village recently. Until they mend their ways (hire a new chef?), I suggest you avoid Bistro 101 and Alfonso’s – both restaurants are on Prospect Street. I don’t like reporting negative experiences, but the […]
Artful Cuisine at the Museum Cafe
One of the most popular lunch spots in the village, the Museum Cafe offers delicious salads (shrimp and papaya is my favorite), great soups (such as country vegetable), grilled items, and creative sandwiches. As the name suggests, the cafe is located at the La Jolla branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) […]
www.SanDiegoFoodFinds.com
My friend Maria Desiderata Montana writes a blog about San Diego restaurants, and I want you to know about it should you decide to venture outside La Jolla for a meal. San Diego Food Finds includes restaurant profiles for great places to eat all over San Diego County. Some of my favorites are: Fidel’s (Mexican) […]
Update on Sorella della Taverna
I wrote about La Taverna and its sister property Sorella della Taverna in August 2008. The former is a cute little Italian bistro on a side street in the village. Sorella is a gourmet deli that provides take-away meals and delicious picnic fare. I’m happy to report that both businesses are still going strong, and […]
News Flash – Jack’s Closes
Jack’s La Jolla, the darling of the local dining and nightlife scene, suddenly closed its doors yesterday. “The economy isn’t the only factor,” according to owner Bill Berkley. (My guess is that the economy is only a very small part of the decision to shut down. Cash poor restaurants don’t close in the height of […]
