About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
Beeside Balcony is a hidden gem in La Jolla Village, CA with a relaxed seaside chic décor where guests enjoy global mediterranean cuisine and ocean views from interior and the balcony. A third generation chef of Spanish and Italian descent, and hailing form Paris, France, Christophe's restaurant career began at 17 in the kitchen of his father's restaurant in Pasadena when they first emigrated to the USA. Upon returning to southern California in 2011, Christophe spent 8 years as the managing partner of Eddie V's Prime Seafood in La Jolla. Here he deepened his knowledge of sourcing and cooking the freshest seafood available, while delivering world class service. The laid back coastal vibe of La Jolla, combined with the attention to detail from Christophe's fine dining background, infuses Beeside Balcony with an easy elegance that elevates any gathering, and makes the perfect backdrop to showcase his global mediterranean menu.

    What an amazing meal. Chef Christophe has mastered his craft. We enjoyed a private event that included chef Quindere of Valle Omakase and wow! French and Japanese cuisine paired beautifully together. And the honey is ethically sourced by chef Christophe! Highly recommend this restaurant.

    New place. Used to be sushi. That’s why you can get in. French flair. Mostly excellent. Booked for a family brunch of 6. Lovely server( French gal) fabulous food, veggie gyros, shrimp tacos, breakfast sandwich, and not recommended; the arugula beet salad. The great: server, breakfast egg sandwiches on brioche bun, veggie gyros on fresh pita, a full avocado, cucumber, hummus tomatoes etc. The lame: arugula beet salad with literally one slice of beet;Where the Beet?!? Iykyk. Ha Peek views, chef’s own honey from his hives. Delish. We will definitely be back! Skipping the salads:)

    Meal was fine and ambience was great but customer service was horrendous. The people working the host stand and answering the phones ( I worked with several employees) do not know how to handle multiple customers at once and solve a simple request. Rude over the phone and simply not helpful. I definitely have no interest in coming back.

    This was my second time at Beeside and a complete 180 experience. There was a private event, a group had booked the patio for a birthday party and it seemed fun for them, but not the ambiance I was expecting. I think the restaurant should've informed patrons prior to making the reservation. It was very loud and hard to have a conversation anywhere., very different from the previous time I visited. The food and service were great though.

    We went in the Spring on a hot day close to Mother's Day. The food was pricy, but delicious and the presentation was fantastic. This is La Jolla after all. Try to find parking on the street nearby if possible as it is upstairs on the upper strip of shops.
