Addison San Diego

Addison sits at 5200 Grand Del Mar Way, a short drive from the fairways of the Torrey Pines Golf Course. It holds three Michelin stars, a five-star rating from the 2024 Forbes Travel Guide, and the no. 59 spot on the 2024 La Liste.

The restaurant offers French, modern, and creative cuisine that distinguishes it from the casual beachside fare found near Torrey Pines State Beach. While the coastline draws people for simple, sun-drenched meals, Addison uses a formal, methodical approach to dinner that rarely exists elsewhere in the area. It is dressier than its neighbours, and the kitchen’s focus on technique makes it the only choice for diners seeking a deliberate, multi-course experience rather than a quick coastal bite. The room runs smart and acts as a quiet outlier in a city defined by its surf-culture informality.
