3 Best Restaurants in Mission Valley, San Diego

With world-class brewmaster Skip Virgilio behind the award-winning beers and an equally impressive food menu, this sprawling 9,000-square-foot brewpub achieves quality in every detail. Choose from hearty fare like the Gravity Burger and wood-fired pizzas, lighter options like salads and spring rolls, or come to enjoy brunch favorites like the Hawaiian pancake, brisket hash, or their can't-resist cinnamon roll. Mimosas are a great accompaniment for weekend merriment, but you can't go wrong with the craft beer tap list, either. 

For quick healthy bite, Mendocino Farms offers a convenient selection of chef-created sandwiches, salads, soups, and sides with comfortable and abundant seating. Kids will enjoy the corner chalkboard area with free rein to doodle.

Blink and you'll drive right by The Remy, a recommissioned steak house completely renovated in 2023. Once inside the lounge that sports a hipster-ish hunting lodge vibe, you can sidle up to the bar for a handcrafted cocktail or grab a table to enjoy a thick slice of perfectly prepared beef.
