Route 29 Unveils in the Gaslamp Quarter!

A Taste of Napa Valley Comes to the Gaslamp Quarter!

Designed with Northern California’s iconic wine country culture in mind, Route 29 hit the road running on July 10th. This farm-to-table “wining and dining” destination features an open kitchen that’s hyper-focused on preparing sustainable, local ingredients and a healthy list of vegan options. Their menu will fluctuate throughout the year, bringing only the season’s freshest ingredients to the table. Guests can expect to savor charcuteries and a selection of “Jars,” featuring house-layered creations such as Babaganoush, or their Chicken Cacciatore with mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes, herbs and bell peppers. Small Bites include Crab Spinach Artichoke Dip and Roasted Duck Confit Wings, and Entrees with names like Shiitake Rubbed Ribeye and Crispy California Halibut enhance the menu.

“We want everyone to enjoy ‘The Food of California’s Wine Country with a dash of Euro flair’ as we integrate the senses of taste and smell to create dishes worth remembering,” says Executive Chef Daniel Bear, who opened Route 29.

The restaurant’s impressive lineup of around 150 wine selections were chosen by renowned sommelier, Nemanja Pejcic, which includes roughly 30 BTG (by the glass) options designed to complement the food they offer. Both new- and old-world wine appellations are the focus, most of which are derived from sustainably managed vineyards.

The décor at Route 29 reflects the essence of wine country’s rustic-modern vibe with dedicated elements of wood, iron and copper which fit in well with the relaxed san Diego lifestyle.

Guests are invited to wind their way over to 644 5^th Ave in The Gaslamp. Open Sunday through Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:3p.m and Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Make a toast to the good life and “wine down” at Route 29!
