Exciting New Dining Experience at Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado
Get ready for a delightful culinary adventure at Hotel Del Coronado as they roll out their brand-new family-friendly restaurant, Veranda! Opened on April 10, 2023, this charming eatery boasts stunning oceanfront views and a garden-inspired ambiance that promises to whisk you away to paradise.
Channeling Hollywood Glamour
One of the standout features at Veranda is its homage to Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. During her time filming Some Like It Hot back in 1958 at The Del, Marilyn reportedly ordered her favorite dessert daily: the sensational An Icon’s Chilled Souffle. This exquisite treat is a showstopper with its combination of chilled vanilla soufflé, topped with a delicate meringue feather and drizzled with a strawberry rosewater elixir. Best of all, it’s served tableside for that extra touch of magic!
Historical Touch with a Modern Twist
The name Veranda pays tribute to the original 20-foot-wide veranda that has existed since 1888, which wraps around the hotel in a sprawling 1800-foot walk, offering a slice of history with every meal. Nestled beside the gorgeous Windsor lawn, Veranda takes over the space where Sheerwater once reigned, turning it into a vibrant hotspot for diners.
Warming Up Your Taste Buds
Prepare your palate for a thoughtfully crafted menu that reflects the best of contemporary Californian cuisine. Appetizers include Pull-apart Parker House Rolls and a tantalizing twist with oysters broiled using chorizo butter and served with a warm baguette. And don’t miss the Millefeuille Potatoes, with layers so crispy you could hear them from across the room, perfectly paired with a delicious smoky ketchup for dipping.
Meet the Talent
A master of the kitchen, Chef Brian Archibald, who has an impressive 25 years of hospitality experience, has poured his heart into designing a menu that showcases not just food, but the rich culture of the area. His personal favorite? The locally sourced California Halibut served Veracruz-style, a delightful nod to local flavors that you’re sure to love.
Indulgent Sweets and Signature Nights
Don’t think we forgot about dessert! If the chilled soufflé doesn’t tickle your taste buds, try the Warm California Date Cake drizzled in rich sea salt caramel or enjoy the whimsical Sundae Service, where you can top your ice cream just the way you like it!
On select nights, Veranda serves up mouth-watering dishes like signature fried chicken with cheddar biscuits, 36-hour roasted prime rib, and for a fun Friday treat, a Seafood Boil for two. Plus, the famed Corn Bisque brings applause for its innovative presentation and delightful flavors!
Something for Everyone
Veranda also shines in its ability to accommodate various dining preferences, with a dedicated children’s menu ensuring that the whole family can find something scrumptious to enjoy. Their comprehensive breakfast buffet welcomes guests on weekdays, serving up both hot and cold options from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and extending to 12:30 PM on weekends. Mini waffles, pancakes, and personalized eggs are just a few of the made-to-order delights you can expect!
