MICHELIN Stars: 3 Restaurants
The MICHELIN Guide California 2026 gives San Diego 3 starred restaurants: Addison with three stars, and Lucien and Soichi with one. The stars were revealed in downtown San Diego on June 24, 2026, and Lucien, on Girard Avenue in La Jolla, got its first. Every one of the 34 MICHELIN restaurants in San Diego, La Jolla and Coronado is on this page: the stars, all 7 Bib Gourmands and all 24 Recommended.
Where a restaurant is a short walk from one of our shopping districts, we say so.
