ANIMAE’s eclectic West Coast cuisine, layered with Asian influences, comes to life under Celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey. Applying a California cooking style to ANIMAE’S traditional coal-fired oven and grill, Chef Malarkey’s menu is as thoughtful as it is refined, elevating local produce and seasonal ingredients to create a lively and progressive culinary program.

Pourquoi ce sont des Perles rares

Chef de cuisine : Brian Malarkey

MICHELIN Plate2022

D'après les éditeur·rices d'OpenTable : La chef américaine d'origine philippine Tara Monsod fait passer la cuisine fusion au niveau supérieur dans cet espace Art déco très branché. Attendez-vous à des versions opulentes de classiques, tels que les oreilles de porc croustillantes et le kare kare. Tara Monsod est l'un des rares chefs du pays à mettre la cuisine philippine sur le devant de la scène gastronomique. Cette approche lui a valu de nombreuses récompenses, dont une prestigieuse assiette MICHELIN.

Fantastic restaurant. Dishes were all very complex and flavorful. Plenty of good. Service attentive but not overbearing. Tuna crispy rice, wagyu fried rice and short rib Kare kare were all excellent. Good wine list.very nice decor. Will definitely eat here again next time I’m in San Diego

We were only in San Diego for 24 hours, and Animae was the perfect foodie destination for our short trip. Chef Tara’s menu masterfully stays true to Filipino flavors while elevating them in a way that feels both nostalgic and exciting. Every dish was beautifully executed, and the balance of flavors was impeccable. Our server, Chenise, made the experience even more memorable. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. She kept the pacing and coursing of our meal just right, ensuring we could fully enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. The cocktails were another highlight - both inventive and perfectly balanced. Each drink complemented the food beautifully, and we could absolutely see ourselves coming back just to sit at the bar and work our way through the cocktail menu. From start to finish, Animae delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience in San Diego, this is it. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!
