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.
Came for brunch. The husband is not a fan of vegan/vegetarian food, but he had to admit it was good. The cocktails are delicious and the food was pretty good. We stuck with items that wouldn’t be plant based meat replacements and were pleased with our choices.
