Julian Restaurants

San Diego County's mountain getaway, Julian, is just about an hour from the city but a lifetime away with its gold rush history and quaint shops and inns. Old-fashioned American comfort food is one of Julian's hallmarks. Downtown Julian is the place for apple pie, cider, and barbecue, along with Italian pizza and Mexican specialties served in both casual and more formal settings. Both lodges and beds and breakfasts serve hearty American-style lunches and dinners. Farther along Highway 78, you'll find new food options, including a food hall housing locally-made cider tastings, local wine tastings, Mexican tacos, and Italian pizza. If your heart desires fresh-brewed coffee made from locally-roasted beans and a slice of apple pie made from just-picked apples, Julian's several downtown bakeries and cafes will fulfill that wish.
