Burgerim (Opening soon!)
1271 Prospect Street
Occupying the long-vacant space that once hosted the Bull and Bear Restaurant, Burgerim, which initially opened in Tel Aviv, is La Jolla’s newest burger joint. The opening of the La Jolla location is their introduction to the San Diego restaurant market.
Burgerim is known for their mini burgers which they famously make upside down. Instead of putting their toppings on top of their burger, they flip it so all the toppings absorb the burger’s juices and taste delicious. While some restaurants can boast quality over quantity, Burgerim gets the best of both worlds. Fun fact: the word ‘burgerim’ actually means ‘many burgers’ in Hebrew!

Snooze (Opening soon)
8861 Villa La Jolla Village Dr. #505
The popular eatery plans to open a new location in La Jolla’s Shops next door to the Mendocino Farms. With a buzzing location in Del Mar, this is La Jolla’s very first Snooze. Known for their wide variety of breakfast options, including Eggs Benedict and pot pies, there’s always a wait to get into this popular restaurant. It’s a perfect way to kick off the weekend whether you’re looking for a great date spot or casual brunch.
