Bobby C’s Lounge & Grille

Small, slightly upscale bar and restaurant specializing in soul food, and especially catfish.

Bonjour Vietnam

Drop in on this restaurant in downtown’s San Carlos Hotel during weekdays from 3 until 6 p.m., when the deals are in full bloom.

Don’t miss golden, fragrant coconut curry waffles, beet burgers topped with a zesty corn relish, and slices […]

Bragg’s Pie Factory

Built in 1947 by the Bragg family, this building originally housed a – you guessed it – pie factory. The Braggs ran a bakery out of the building with a tiny storefront off Grand Avenue and a cavernous bakery in the back, out of which they baked and sold their pies to local restaurants and […]

The Breadfruit

The Breadfruit, a cheerful, casual Jamaican restaurant, fits right in with other independent eateries that have cropped up on the sleepy periphery of downtown’s bustling core. Owner Dwayne Allen, originally from Jamaica, considers the restaurant an extension of his kitchen at home, which means customers are treated to the same succulent, spicy jerk chicken, fragrant […]

Bri

Moving through the historic and altogether adorable Coronado District, Seventh Street, just north of downtown, is a regular restaurant row thanks to spots like Green, The Coronado, and the Main Ingredient. But Bri has something extra-special (and you can’t miss that seemingly hand-drawn sign). Bri is the phonetic spelling of its namesake, the braai, a […]

Bruno Mali’s Cafe & Gift

Although the name may lead you to believe this is some sort of early morning coffeehouse hangout or little gift shop filled with trinkets where patrons sip tea, don’t be deceived. What lies behind the door is a bar known for its cheap drinks and hip hop scene. Bruno Mali’s Caf
