Dining at La Valencia
Mediterranean Room & Patio

La Valencia Hotel's Mediterranean Room brings the warmth and romance of the Mediterranean to beautiful La Jolla.

Located overlooking stunning La Jolla cove, The Mediterranean Room is the perfect blend of century old Mediterranean tradition and today's contemporary dining. Set in a newly renovated space, The Mediterranean Room is wrapped in the colors of the Mediterranean and exudes chic elegance and style. Soft sand and vibrant moonstone blue transport you seaside while organic textures such as wood, stone and linens anchor the dining room to the here and now.

Keeping true to the vibrant flavors, spices and traditions of the entire Mediterranean, The Mediterranean Room's Contemporary Mediterranean Cuisine is an all-encompassing journey from Spain down to Morocco and Algeria then to the shores of Lebanon, Syria and Turkey and finally landing ashore in Greece, Italy and southern France. Chef Sean Eastwood effortlessly melds the ingredients, cooking techniques and customs of the Mediterranean in a creative contemporary fashion all the while exhibiting a deep respect and understanding for the region's history and culture.

In addition to many menu options, The Mediterranean Room's two separate dining areas, the casual patio and main dining room make the restaurant a testament to flexibility in dining. Each area offers a new experience with a full range of menu choices. Menu choices include dishes that can be shared, toasty delights from the wood fired grill and the ultimate extravagance of Eastwood's multiple 'Tour of the Mediterranean' tasting menu. Weather for spontaneous dining or an elaborate tasting prepared by the chef, you'll find The Mediterranean Room a delicious escape to the sunny Mediterranean any day of the week.
