After diving I always feel well hungry, maybe because of seeing all the fish has something to do with it , but for what ever reason, I love to take a short walk around the corner and stop at  a little cafe, with big personality Papalulu’s restaurant.

       Known around La Jolla Shores as the only place with surf boards marking the entrance its outside and indoor dining is great after a dive, opened in 2007 Papalulu’s has served breakfast and lunch to many local patrons as well as those vacationing here in San Diego.

      A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

Taken from Papalulu’s webpage,

“Papalulu’s began almost 20 years ago at a small shopping center in University City, a small community notorious for is unique blend of young families and college students. The idea was to create a place where the community could come together and enjoy an honest, quality meal without breaking the bank. Focusing on quality, Papalulu’s had a reputation for delicious food and friendly, personal service.

Owner Nanci Kirk has been building restaurants with this fabulous reputation since she purchased her first at the ripe old age of 29 in downtown La Jolla. In an funny twist of fate, Papalulu’s is named after both her first cook and waitress; her father Papa and mother Lulu. Formerly retired and living in baja california, Papa and Lulu helped to create the warm, family inspired vibe the defines all of Nanci’s projects.

After a brief hiatus, Papalulu’s has grown and moved to it’s current La Jolla Shores location in 2007. Two blocks from the beach, the resturant has adapted to its new home and features our signature dish- the Papadilla”
