Summer Getaways for
Gourmet Travelers |
| Omni San Diego Hotel | | San Diego, CA | | At Omni San Diego Hotel, dining is a daily celebration of SoCal’s coastal bounty and the vibrant spirit of the Gaslamp Quarter. Overlooking the city’s buzzing streets and the curve of the bay, this newly refreshed retreat invites guests to explore a culinary scene that’s as dynamic as the neighborhood itself. At Tortuga, Baja’s bright flavors shine poolside—sip an Elderflower Spritz or dig into Baja Ceviche brimming with catch of the day, gigante corn kernels, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, serrano leche de tigre, and lime. Downstairs, Ace Porter turns up the flavor with shareable Enchilada Cauliflower Bites layered with vegan cheese, pico de gallo, olives, and soyrizo picante sauce, paired perfectly with a chilled Pacifico. Fres.co keeps the tempo lively with breakfast and lunch sourced from nearby farms and the Pacific’s edge, perfect for a quick refuel or a leisurely bite between urban adventures. Guiding it all is Chef Wenceslao Zavala, whose roots in Baja and time spent in Barcelona infuse each dish with authenticity and a touch of wanderlust. | |
