Brunch with a view just hits different 🥂🌊✨ 📍 @sereasandiego | @delcoronado | @visitcoronadoisland Located right next to the iconic Hotel del Coronado, Serea serves modern coastal cuisine with fresh, sustainable seafood and Mediterranean-inspired touches, and their brunch menu might be one of my favorites on the island! 🦞✨ The whole snapper was basically an entire sashimi platter and SO fresh, the breakfast burrito genuinely surprised me, and the baklava French toast with pistachio crème and phyllo was easily one of my favorite dishes 🌯😮💨 I went in thinking the setting might be the main draw, but the food was honestly just as impressive! So if you’re looking for a Coronado island restaurant or searching for the best brunch Coronado has to offer, this is one to keep in mind 💫 Cheers!
