About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Beeside Balcony is a hidden gem in old Del Mar, CA with a relaxed seaside chic décor where guests enjoy global mediterranean cuisine and ocean views from the covered outside 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 Del Mar, 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.

    A happy place. Good service, simple foods. We like to share, so we ordered the crab cake, Argula Beet Salad and the Salmon with cauliflower rice with flavors. So good. A bottle of wine. Perfect. Service was quick. Everyone there looked happy. Sat at a perfect table by the edge of the window on the roof top. It was not that very cold & they still put the heater lamps on. It was so comfortable. We will be back! Thank you Beeside Balcony Restaurant.

    I would say that I’ve eaten here several times and the food I get has always been good. However, my husband’s beef filet wasn’t that good (he said) and my sister-in-laws pesto was bland. My brother-in-laws food was good. The s’mores dessert wasn’t great. And the churro, while very good, was undercooked in a few spots (still runny batter inside). We very much enjoyed the salads and bread/3 dips/vegetables. I’d say it was definitely an off night as I’ve always had consistently good food.

    Thanks for visiting us, Colleen! We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed some of the items.... We're sorry to hear that your experience with the beef filet, pesto, and churro wasn't up to par. We always aim for consistency, and we're disappointed to hear that we fell short this time. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely use it to improve. We hope to serve you consistently good food in the future.

    Birthday celebration for my husband. Octopus ceviche for starters was delicious, scallops were melt-in-your-mouth and the shrimp pesto linguine was full of flavor. We ate every bite! The meal was so good we were left wondering why it’s been so long since we’ve been here. That’s going to change!

    Celebrated my birthday at this lovely restaurant on Sunday :) Although late seating despite our reservation, we still felt welcomed. The staff was great w/ accommodating dogs on the patio. Service was wonderful. Plenty food & drink options. You also can’t beat the view & weather at this location. I would definitely visit this location again.

    Before the good points; the Denver steak was literally the toughest, chewiest piece of meat I have ever had in my 50+ years of life. The cheapest cut of meat from wherever you could imagine could not have out done how embarrassed I felt for them, serving this steak. When the kind waitress asked how was our meal, I said to myself, practice humility and let my wife respond regarding her fish but stay silent regarding the steak. It didn’t matter that this steak was part of their 3 course special; someone there should be sample tasting before bringing this out to customers. The rest of the experience, ambiance (5) , waitress (5) service and food (3 overall) ranged from satisfactory to good; just stay away from their steak.
