The Cliffhanger Café and Bar is located high atop the sea cliffs of Torrey Pines. Diners are treated to a breath-taking view of the Pacific Ocean as it spans from the beach 350 feet below, all the way to the horizon. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of dolphins or whales. Paragliders, hang gliders, RC gliders, and more all launching right in front of the outdoor dining area, make this a truly unique dining experience. (Please no outside food allowed)

The full-service deli-cafe and bar is open daily, offering lunch, snacks, and drinks. Come try our highly-acclaimed sandwiches, fresh salads, and soups! Snacks such as fruit, chips, etc are also available. Cold water, sports drinks, energy, soda, and coffee are also available. On the weekends we offer wood fired pizzas and a grill menu with burgers and fries.
