  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
A celebration of food, cocktails, art, and warm hospitality. Housed in the historic Piano Building, in the heart of the vibrant community of Bird Rock, Paradisaea is a destination restaurant and bar, that San Diegans frequent for crave-able, accessible fare, executed at the highest level.


Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Paradisaea comes from culinary industry heavyweights, including an Eleven Madison Park alum. Its mid-century tropical interiors, imaginative tiki cocktails, and fresh-caught fish entrees mean it's a casual spot that’s equal parts neighborhood gem and dream date-night destination.

    We had a truly wonderful dinner at Paradisaea. First thing that we noticed was the attention to detail. No expense has been spared with the touch points, from the plates and cutlery, the menu paper etc. these things matter and are often overlooked even at this level. The food was absolutely delicious, honest and perfectly executed as were the cocktails. Service was very friendly and efficient and our interactions with Patrick were truly wonderful. He gets it. Bird Rock is lucky to have this gem on its doorstep. A little detour for those outside of La Jolla but well worth it. We shall be back and next time with friends!

    Our 2nd & also 5/5 meal there, very gourmet, both food quality & prep. Even able to modify dishes for a guest who has food allergies. Expensive but as they say…you get what you pay for & pay for what you get. Pretty sleepy on a Sunday night dinner, hopefully busier on rush days. Would recommend.
