A.R. Valentien | An Unexpectedly Amazing Meal in San Diego! π β¨
Being a spontaneous "P-type" traveler on a holiday (7/4) meant most booked-up spots were a no-go. So there we were, near UCSD, watching the sunset while frantically calling restaurants last-minute ππ β until we discovered this Michelin-recommended gem! They accepted walk-ins, so we rushed right over. Honestly, even if the food was just okay, we thought the stunning ocean view and sunset would make it worth it. But WOW β were we blown away! π This is French-inspired dining, a real step above typical American hotel food (crab cakes and BBQ wings, weβre so over you π¦π). π¦ Standout Dishes: Kanpachi Crudo β so fresh and delicate Duck Confit β tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked Halibut with baby bok choy β simple yet elegant Scallops β beautifully plated and delicious As four Cantonese food lovers, we were seriously impressed β every dish felt thoughtful and well-executed π. And the best part? The bill for all four of us β everything included β came to just $474 π΅π Unbeatable for this level of quality, service, and atmosphere! If you're in San Diego and want a memorable meal with gorgeous views, donβt sleep on A.R. Valentien. A true walk-in win! π #ARValentien #SanDiegoDining #MichelinRecommended #FrenchFood #UCSD #FoodieFind
