Restaurant overview

About ARTIFACT at Mingei

First of all, the ARTIFACT perfectly fits into a lunch at the Balboa Park, since the menu contains dishes that are not only varied but also have enough components to serve as destination dishes and do not require special atmosphere or attire.

Dishes incorporate various cooking traditions of Asia, Latin America, Mediterranean cuisine, and others by using grains, vegetables, spices, and slowly cooked meat in creative ways.

The ARTIFACT is a convenient place for dining for mixed-diet groups. It is possible to order plant-based dishes along with chicken, pork, lamb, fish, and desserts, which means that the experience does not depend on what dishes the group will eat.

On Fridays, the dinner time is provided to visit ARTIFACT for dinner in the museum environment. Daytime work schedules make ARTIFACT one of the most unusual museum restaurants in San Diego.
