San Diego’s November dining scene is packed with fresh picks—from seafood spots to fusion favorites. Discover cozy brunches, bold comfort food, and must-try bakeries offering inventive treats. Dive into the city’s latest flavors and find your new favorite!

Whether you’re craving a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, exploring innovative takes on classic dishes at some of San Diego’s finest restaurants, or opting for a delicious meal to-go, these venues have something for everyone this Thanksgiving.

Vistal, the Baja-inspired hotspot at InterContinental San Diego, is teaming up with local sustainability champions Chula Seafood for a one-night-only Swordfish Dinner.

Jerry Skakun, who runs the beverage operations at Vistal at the InterContinental San Diego, is based in California, so he gravitates to West Coast bottles for his Aviation variation. “I love Gray Whale Gin, which is distilled and bottled in Sebastopol,” he says. “The gin uses an array of California botanicals offering a unique set of flavor profiles ideal for blending and making cocktails.”

We’re taking our taco game up a notch at Vistal. With San Diego Bay as our backdrop, we’re diving into their Red Widow Rockfish Fish Tacos. The local rockfish gets a funky purple makeover thanks to squid ink tempura batter. Topped with grilled corn, cotija, and aji verde sauce, it’s a flavor explosion.

Garibaldi, the bayfront rooftop restaurant located on the third floor of the InterContinental San Diego, highlights the flavors and essence of Sardinia and Sicily through the lens of San Diego in terms of local sourcing and cocktails to create an experience seen nowhere else in the city.

Warm-weather eats and sunny days stick around a little longer in these spots.

The InterContinental is the site of another favorite rooftop drinking spot—Seneca is yet another of CH Projects' successful string of trendy hotspots. Endless ocean sunsets await on the expansive rooftop, while you sip cocktails conveniently organized into categories: spritz, long, fix, gin down, whiskey and agave.

A Mediterranean oasis on the third floor of the InterContinental San Diego, Garibaldi is a rooftop bar offering views of the calm waters of the bay below and the city’s bustling skyline. This setting is a prime spot for watching as sailboats glide by with an Aperol spritz in one hand and fresh oysters in another.

Head straight for the 15th floor at the InterContinental San Diego – on exiting the lift you'll be wowed by the westward-facing glass wall, showcasing the Pacific Ocean in all its glory. Others works of art await discovery throughout this seaside property.

InterContinental San Diego is pleased to announce the addition of Chef Paul McCabe and Chef Amy DiBiase as the culinary leaders at the highly anticipated hotel, opening September 2018.

InterContinental San Diego is pleased to announce the completion of its executive committee appointments prior to the hotel’s official opening on August 28, 2018. General Manager, David Hall, will be leading the team of seasoned hoteliers for this highly anticipated new San Diego hotspot.
