Established in 1988, The WineSellar & Brasserie is San Diego's premiere destination for fine wine and exquisitely crafted locally sourced, organic fare.

Consistently ranked among OpenTable's Top 10 local restaurants, The Brasserie has been honored with either Wine Spectator's "Grand Award" and "Best Of Award Of Excellence" every year since our inception.

With your meal, enjoy a bottle from the adjoining WineSellar boutique wine shop or choose a wine from our award-winning list. Either way, you’ll find an outstanding selection of unique small-production wines not found anywhere else. Not in the mood for wine? Choose from our rotating list of craft beers or seasonally available craft cocktails.

We had an absolutely wonderful lunch at Wine Sellar today; perfect in every way. Even the green salad was spectacular! My salmon was the best I've had recently, if not ever. Super crispy crust on top and beautifully flavored. Even the blanched or poached baby radishes were fabulous! My husband's duck confit was also excellent. The service here is always experienced and pleasant. This is truly a special place for lunch or dinner.
