Seasonal Dining at Fashion Valley
The Fashion Valley location of True Food Kitchen, open since July 2012, sits along Friars Road in the heart of Mission Valley's open-air shopping destination. Guests come from Mission Hills, Hillcrest, and Point Loma for nutrient-rich, seasonal meals, weekend brunch, post-shopping lunches, and group dinners.
The restaurant includes a 57-seat patio overlooking the center's landscaped courtyard, well suited to San Diego's year-round outdoor dining weather. Inside, the dining room seats 200, with an additional private dining room for 22 guests. The menu changes with the seasons and follows whole-food, anti-inflammatory principles.
Built around Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory food pyramid: whole foods, plant-forward proteins, healthy fats, and seasonal produce.
