Monsoon
Address: 729 4th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
Entering the restaurant from San Diego’s bustling Gaslamp Quarter, Monsoon diners are warmly greeted by an intoxicating aroma of spices wafting up from Chef Ashley Popat’s delectable Indian-inspired dishes. Deftly negotiating tradition and fusion, her menu presents purist renditions of less familiar fare, like the Dizzy Nu Shak banana curry, alongside playfully flavorful cultural pastiches like the Masala Hummus. The restaurant itself is also tastefully eclectic: walls festooned with Indian musical instruments and murals are lighted by antique-looking chandeliers, while a Bollywood-esque trip hop soundtrack mingles with the dulcet sounds of a prominent water feature. Monsoon goes beyond gastronomic indulgence: it is a feast for all the senses.

Acqua Al 2
Address: 322 5th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101
While it may be physically impossible to bring a Florentine trattoria to San Diego, Chef and Owner Martin Gonzalez has come remarkably close. Acqua Al 2 is the sister restaurant of the original Acqua Al 2, located on the Via della Vigna Vecchia in Florence. Using the same menu, recipes, and cooking techniques, Acqua Al 2 offers authentic Tuscan-style dining right in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp district. The charming ambiance hints of old world Italy, while the aromatic and flavorful dishes exude authenticity. Anyone considering an escape to Italy should first pay a visit to this local favorite.
