The upscale seaside town of Del Mar in North County has blossomed as an alternative to the touristy shores of other San Diego beachside locations. Del Mar is a local gem with friendly vibes that appeal to families, couples, and groups of friends. Days in the neighborhood may include a casual stroll down the main street, a beachfront walk, or catching early morning waves. A broad array of cuisine has sprouted up, allowing locals and visitors alike to enjoy tacos, brunches, Parisian-style pastries, and cool gelato on a day at the beach, a romantic evening with great views, or a journey to the iconic Del Mar Racetrack.
Whether looking for oysters, tacos, Peruvian plates, or sushi, here are the best restaurants in the beachfront neighborhood of Del Mar.
New this update: The Cottage Del Mar, Harry’s Del Bar, and Salt & Lime have been added, while Bushfire Kitchen, En Fuego, and Aqua Del Mare have been removed.
