ARTIFACT at Mingei is a full-service restaurant inside the Mingei Museum at Balboa Park in San Diego, where craft cooking inspired by ancient methods, spices, and botanicals takes center stage. The menu rotates monthly to reflect the museum's changing international exhibitions, so every visit brings something new. On Friday evenings, dinner is served à la carte, and one special night each month features a regional tasting menu through the ARTIFACT at Night experience. The restaurant is led by Culinary Director Tim Kolanko alongside Chefs Wesley Johnson and Tony Coito, all part of the acclaimed Urban Kitchen Group. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, surrounded by art and design.
