Our Shopping Expert Says:
An outdoor mall in, say Boston, where it gets freezing cold and boiling hot year round, wouldn't really make sense. But an outdoor mall in San Diego, especially in the heart of Mission Valley beauty, really is the only acceptable way to shop.
With over 200 stores and restaurants, Fashion Valley Mall surpasses mere acceptability. Shopping at Fashion Valley is a luxury - though everyone is welcome of course, walking through the clean, breezy walkways of the outdoor promenades, truly feels like a privilege. Cream-colored columns, sleek awnings, flowers and greenery, smooth walls and crisp corners all provide a balance between sun and shade, class and comfort.
The name of this place gives you a good idea of what you'll find inside. Anchor stores Bloomingdale's JCPenney, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstorm and Saks Fifth Avenue are just the beginning of what unfolds once you enter the Fashion Valley arena. Upscale stores mix with your old-time favorites. Check out Burberry, Coach, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, but make sure you don't forget about Bath & Body Works, L'Occitane, and Pottery Barn. Even Tiffany & Co. makes a special appearance at this mall!
The 17 restaurants measure up to be just as alluring as the shops that surround them. For California classics we recommend Crocodile Café. For an elegant pasta dish or some mouth watering stuffed grape leaves, relax in Café Socrates.
It's easy to get to Fashion Valley Mall. It's located right off of Highway 163 at Friars Road West, 7007 Friars Road. From downtown San Diego, take I-5 North to get to Highway 163. From Pacific Beach, take I-5 South to I-8 East to get to Highway 163.
