San Diego's culinary scene has been featured in national publications such as Food Arts, Food & Wine, and Gourmet. There are more than 6,400 restaurants in San Diego County. The following picks are located within walking distance or a short cab ride from the San Diego Convention Center and the Convention hotels.

Bertrand at Mister A's 2550 Fifth Avenue

You can't talk about Bertrand at Mister A's without mentioning the view: You can see downtown, uptown, Balboa Park, Point Loma, the Pacific ... you can see it all by day, or by the night lights. It is expensive with a formal feel and serves continental cuisine. Service is superb.

Fish Market and Top of the Market, 750 N. Harbor Drive

Big with tourists and locals, this fish...
