Innovative

Equal parts evil lair and Victorian cocktail salon, KINDRED has transfixed and beguiled
all who step into its portal, with whimsical eccentricity, world class vegan dishes, and ambitiously inventive cocktails.

Since opening its doors in late 2015 in the enchanting neighborhood of South Park, San
Diego, KINDRED has garnered recognition which transcends its plant-based credo,
heralded as one of the city's premier dining institutions. It has been named EATER San
Diego's and San Diego Magazine's Restaurant Of The Year, topped Zagat San Diego's
Most Important Restaurant Openings, and earned an Orchid Award for interior
design from the San Diego Architectural Foundation. KINDRED was also named within the Food Network's list of the best vegan restaurants in the country, was voted the Best Vegan Bar in the U.S. by VegNews magazine, and received regional honors from the Tales Of The Cocktail Foundation for Best Restaurant Bar in the West.

Delicious dishes! A treat for our vegan friends to have such variety, and for omnivores-they didn’t miss a thing. Everything is very flavorful and the ambience is very energetic.

Wonderful food and mocktails. Everything was amazing AND vegan/alcohol free. It did not feel like depriving of an experience at all. I enjoy every time I come here. This evening featured the hot potato’s, charred remains, the abba burger (Swedish meatball inspired) as well as the warlock. Everything was tasty and fresh tasting and the cocktails were so much more than juice and bubbly water. They were fantastically balanced and flavorful and what I was missing.

Absolutely loved the vibe, the food and the zero proof drinks were fantastic. Our server oils have been less interested and rarely stoped by, but the folks that delivered our food and drinks were very pleasant.

I love kindred the drinks are amazing and the food is basic but good. I’m currently pregnant and the choices for mocktails were just as bomb as the alcoholic drinks. One of my favorite places.
