  • Enjoy the memorable California-French cuisine while looking out onto the bay.

  • History relates that the original Caesar salad took its name from the restaurant’s first owner, Caesar Cardini. The salad is still served with flair.

  • This outdoor café offers a selection of sandwiches, wraps, and panini. Breakfast is served until 2pm.

  • Café La Especial

    Since 1952, patrons have eaten the carne asada – a thin filet of marinated grilled beef – savory tacos, and enchiladas with gusto.

  • The luscious French cuisine will put you in heaven. Save with the early-bird special.

  • Founded in 1947, Spanish Jai Alai players from the Palacio Frontón (see Frontón Jai Alai) appreciated the Basque culinary specialties here. Still Spanish influenced, the food is delicious and well prepared.

  • Ancient recipes from the Aztecs and Mayans, as well as imaginative variations of Mexican haute cuisine are presented in elegant surroundings.

  • Old-fashioned, home-style cooking. A quarter buys three oldies at the jukebox.

  • The influence of artists Antonio Gaudi, Salvador Dali, and Joan Miró is prominent in this little Spanish corner. A plate of tapas and paella go well with a glass of Spanish wine.

  • Hodad’s

    At a beach café devoted to burgers, brews, and surf, soak up the ambience self-described as junkyard Gothic.
