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.

MICHELIN Plate2022

Von der OpenTable-Redaktion: Für die visionären Kreationen der philippinisch-amerikanische Köchin Tara Monsod könnte es keinen cooleren Ort geben als dieses Art-Déco-Restaurant. Opulente Twists von Klassikern wie knusprigen Schweineohren und Kare Kare heben das servierte Fusion-Food auf das nächste Level: Monsod gehört zu den wenigen Köchinnen im Land, die philippinisches Essen auf Gourmetniveau heben. Dafür hat sie zahlreiche Auszeichnungen erhalten, darunter einen prestigeträchtigen MICHELIN Teller.

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!

Amazing food and service, beautiful decor. Only drawback is the noise level and soooo decadent (is that really a drawback?). Food is rich so pace yourself! Busy night calls for speaking loudly to your company. Other than that it rally is superb! Appetizers: Taiwanese chicken and Gimmari. Mains: Tomawhawk Tocino and Beef Kare. Desserts: Buko pandan and apple yuzu sorbet. Drinks: Midnight Manila and Turon Martini All delicious. Get it all!

A little dim. Perhaps little table lights on the table. Noticed many guests besides our table using their lights from phones to read the menu. Also, lighting for photos of food or ourselves is not great. Beautiful restaurant and ambience but just a little dim.
