  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Vegan-friendly
  • 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.

    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.

    The food was good, the service a bit slow. In our party of 3 we had the hot potatoes, Caesar salad, norm core and one other dish which was all decent. The lemon aioli for the potatoes definitely had a bright lemon flavor…would have been great if more garlic was added. It took a while to be served and we had to ask another waiter to help a couple of times to expedite the experience. We wished the website was more clear in indicating that Only brunc would be served the hours we were there. We were hoping to try a few things off the dinner menu that were not available on a Sunday at 1pm due to the brunch hours and menu.
