About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
A San Diego tradition since 1969, the Brigantine has received many accolades in our 40+ year history. "BEST SEAFOOD", "BEST CASUAL SEAFOOD", "BEST HAPPY HOUR", and even "BEST SWORDFISH IN THE WORLD", according to USA Today.

Well-known for our signature Clam Chowder, Grilled Swordfish, and Crème Brûlée, the Brigantine is a favorite among locals for consistently fresh seafood, succulent steaks and grilled meats.

Perched between the spectacular Pacific Ocean and the hills of Rancho Santa Fe, the Del Mar Brigantine sits high above the action of the Del Mar racetrack.

A lushly landscaped garden offers an unparalleled setting for weddings and outdoor-themed events. Indoors, a formal dining room looks out to the garden through floor-to-ceiling french doors. For more casual dining, the glass-enclosed deck is a year-round favorite.

The Del Mar Brigantine serves dinner 7 nights a week, lunch Monday-Saturday, and brunch each Sunday.

    Everything was very nice. A little noisy until crowd thinned out. A bit too much fat on the corned beef, but that was easily removed. Whole meal was very good St. Patrick's Day dinner. Service was very prompt and good. Tom & Luda

    One of the last restaurants that still understand old school attentive service and style!! Food was perfectly prepared and presented on the plate; vegetables on the side were cooked to stay colorful, cooked just enough to be tasty yet still crunchy. Oh, the outstanding views were a bonus too. Valet service also great.
