Seafood

At the boastfully named World Famous (711 Pacific Beach Dr., 858/272-3100, daily 7 a.m.–11 p.m., $11–30), enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with a view. Fish, purchased fresh daily, is the specialty of the house here, and preparations range from classic American to a variety of ethnic stylings that might be called “fusion” if this were San Francisco [1].

Grab a drink at the bar and take a seat either indoors in the Vegas-inspired dining room or outdoors on the seaside patio. The wine list features some of the best-known California vintners.
