The Sofia Hotel Keeping San Diego Classy With New Brasserie

Where: 140 W Broadway [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92101

If the gaggle of restaurants in the Gaslamp wasn't already enough, guests at The Sofia Hotel now have an in-property brasserie, Currant. At the helm is long-time SoCal chef Jonathan Pflueger, who's back in San Diego after opening his own restaurant and wine bar in Newport Beach, CA.

Currant promises to deliver local, organic and seasonal ingredients in that new American style that's so hot right now. The checkerboard-tiled floors, chandeliers and banquettes definitely give the space an edgy bistro feel--no turn-of-the-century Paris vibe here.

On the menu, you'll find dishes like moules frites, duck confit, braised veal cheeks and white truffle risotto. You also can't go wrong with the charcuterie plate. The beer and wine selection is lengthy, as is the list of specialty cocktails.
