Los Angeles｜Southern California's Only 3-Michelin-Star

📍 5200 Grand Del Mar Way, San Diego, CA 92130 💰 Tasting Menu: $375/person (pre-tax) ➕ Wagyu course add-on: +$195 Our total for two: $1,250 + $225 tip (≈¥10,000+) Hidden inside the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego, Addison is Southern California's only three-Michelin-star restaurant! Book 1–2 months ahead—we lucked out with a slot one month in advance. Ambience is my favorite—elegant, mysterious, luxe yet understated. Service is impeccable. The meal lasted 3+ hours (we started at 8 PM, finished near midnight—almost dozed off 😅). 🌟 My Top Dishes: 🔸 Shellfish Chawanmushi – Steamed egg topped with Hokkaido uni and minced greens—savory, sweet, oceanic. 🔸 Regis Ova Reserve Caviar – Crispy rice + perfect caviar + crunchy elements—textural heaven. 🔸 Japanese Madai – Crispy skin, tender flesh, unforgettable sauce (and I usually don’t love fish!). 🔸 Desserts – Multiple courses, all delightful 🥺. 🤔 Room for improvement: ❶ Wagyu supplement (+$195) – Too fatty, not as impressive as the base menu. ❷ Crisp with onion cream – Nothing special. ❸ Pacing – Nearly 4 hours total—come early! 📌 Conclusion: Pricey but worth it—a full sensory experience, like watching a top-tier culinary performance. Every dish reflects the chef’s creativity and dedication. A must for serious food lovers—I’d definitely go again! #Michelin3Star #CaliforniaMichelin #SanDiegoEats #Addison #SoCalFoodFinds #NorthAmerica
