Choosing the “best brunch” in San Diego might seem an impossible task, considering the wide variety of tastes and flavors available throughout the region, but there are a few eateries that truly stand out. Give your taste buds a treat and discover for yourself if any of the following restaurants and cafes live up to their reputations:
Troy’s Greek
Perhaps one of the best-kept brunch secrets of San Diego is the Sunday champagne brunch at Troy’s Greek Restaurant. Located in Mission Gorge just east of the I-15 freeway, this family-restaurant serves a hearty American-style traditional buffet brunch with bacon, sausage, eggs, and fresh fruit, but it also includes authentic Greek food including moussaka, pastitsio, spanakopita, and all the tender and flavorful gyro meat you can eat. Comes with a champagne option for a small extra charge. Sundays only, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, a 68-acre resource-based park stretching one and a half miles along the Pacific shoreline on the western edge of Point Loma, is perhaps one of San Diego’s best-kept secrets.
The 18-acre “linear section” of the park follows Sunset Cliffs Boulevard from Adair Street along the coastal bluffs past landmarks such as Cormorant Rock to Ladera Street. Along the way are several parking areas that show off breathtaking ocean views, carved coastal bluffs, arches, and sea caves. Flocks of pelicans soar along the bluffs, and California gray whales can often be seen during their annual migration to Baja California. The spectacular sunset views give the area its name. But the park is more than just grand vistas.
