Mignardise - A.R. Valentien Restaurant - Torrey Pines Lodge

We love the dining at A.R. Valentien Restaurant at the Torrey Pines Lodge in La Jolla. The atmosphere, food, and service are exquisite.

This is mignardise served between courses.

I started with the Melon and Burrata Salad. They serve various items between courses. All delicious but I am not sure I can identify these additions accurately. My main course was the Brandt Beef Prime Ribeye, Fondant potato, pole bean salad, bordelaise. One of the additional items were delicious mignardise. For desert, I will let the photo speak for itself.

AN EXCEPTIONAL FINE DINING EXPERIENCE
The Lodge’s signature restaurant, A.R. Valentien, highlights regional San Diego cuisine served in an elegant, timbered indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking the 18th hole of Torrey Pines Golf Course. Executive Chef Kelli Crosson sources only the best local provisions, and the menu changes frequently based on seasonal fare available. The restaurant takes its name from a talented early 20th-century California artist whose works are exhibited throughout the restaurant.

Dine in the Beauty of California Craftsman Design
The restaurant itself is a tribute to Southern California heritage and craftsman architecture, with a metal-strap post-and-beam structure, handcrafted wood-framed windows, stained-glass lanterns and a frieze painted with pine boughs. The layout of the restaurant is also conducive to elegant San Diego fine dining, with several small rooms and intimate plush booths.
