Fleurette

A Sun-Kissed Riviera Escape in the Heart of San Diego

FrenchSpecial occasion
Fleurette

What to know

Fleurette marks a personal and geographic homecoming for chef Travis Swikard, translating the sunlit ease of the French-Italian Riviera through the prism of San Diego’s seasonal bounty. The restaurant’s design and menu are crafted to feel like a short trip across the ocean—bright linens, warm light, and plates built around citrus, herbs, and pristine seafood. As a destination opening in La Jolla, Fleurette matters because it offers a new, refined but relaxed coastal dining narrative for the city and elevates local ingredients with European restraint.
