Amaya at Fairmont Grand Del Mar combines the spirit of a beloved Parisian brasserie with a farm- and sea-to-table philosophy that celebrates the bounty of Southern California. Savor modern renditions of French brasserie classics including a hearty bouillabaisse, escargot, duck cassoulet, fruits de mer tour and tender filet de boeuf. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in the shaded terrace surrounded by fragrant blooms, or immerse yourself in the convivial atmosphere of our indoor dining room.

Amaya’s menu is defined as much by an allegiance to French tradition as it is to Southern California’s bounty through the seasons.

    I took a party of 9. The ambience is wonderful. However the breakfast potatoes were old. The main server, an older gentleman was snippy with some of the ladies.

    The waiter was excellent. The service over all was good, but there was some lag time to get our main dishes out and we got there early. That to me is something that needs to improve.

    Amaya is a rare gem. Fine dining in an elegant setting, with a low noise level that allows for undisturbed conversation with your dinner companion. They have a nice selection of classic French cuisine menu items. Our food was expertly prepared, beautifully plated, and every course was delicious. Our service was impeccable. I compare the experience to A.R. Valentien (which is currently closed for remodeling thru March 2025).

    During the pandemic the food Quality and service suffered a bit and I didn’t go to the restaurant for a period but have they come back and then some! Will be coming back a lot more frequently, especially since I live around the corner!
