San Diego's only three-Michelin-star tasting menu, at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar
Addison by William Bradley is the only three-Michelin-star restaurant in San Diego. Chef Bradley earned the first star in 2019, the second in 2021, and the third in December 2022, making Addison the first restaurant in Southern California to reach the guide's highest honor. He has led this kitchen since 2006, rare consistency at this level, and the cooking has only deepened with time.
The restaurant is a Relais and Chateaux member, a distinction that speaks to both the food and the hospitality. Dinner in the main room is a contemporary California tasting menu of ten courses that evolves with the seasons, built around regional ingredients and Southern California influence, and wine pairings are recommended. The Champagne Lounge, added for the restaurant's 20th anniversary, offers a shorter way in: five savory and sweet tartelettes with optional Champagne pairings, seated walk-in only in order of arrival.
The setting matches the food. Addison sits high on a bluff on the grounds of the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, where arched windows and soaring ceilings frame twilight views over the surrounding hillside, in a dining room recently renovated with a brighter, more contemporary look. At its center sits a wine room of around ten thousand bottles, drawing on rare Champagnes, small producers, and new discoveries from around the world.
It is a room built for a long, unhurried evening. Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m., with the last seating at 8:30 p.m.
Address: 5200 Grand Del Mar Way, San Diego, CA 92130, San Diego
