More information on Prado at Balboa Park (The)

Graciously housed in the House of Hospitality, The Prado has hosted myriad weddings, parties and intimate dinners. After a long period of vacancy, almost any establishment would have been embraced by the hungry Balboa Park visitors and locals, but to receive this thoughtful, tasty gem of a bistro is a special delight. The Chicken Milanese is richly flavored with garlic and sage, served with rosemary-infused potatoes with arugula in a tomato concasse. If you want plainer food, try the Prado Cheeseburger. The luscious dessert tray varies daily.
