Jeune et Jolie is a chic Michelin-starred Carlsbad spot serving a modern French prix fixe with seasonal, globally inspired flavors and standout cocktails.
"The Michelin-starred restaurant’s chic patio space, with lush landscaping, soft table lighting, and twinkly string lights, provides a tranquil setting for a four-course $120 tasting menu from chef Eric Bost, who, alongside his partners, has transformed the city of Carlsbad into a dining destination in its own right (he also helms Campfire and the new all-day cafe, Wildland). While dishes change seasonally, diners may find favorites like amberjack crudo, veal tartare, ricotta gnudi, with the option to add a wine or non-alcoholic beverage paring (for $120 and $65 respectively)." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
"North County’s Michelin-starred establishment continues to impress with its exquisite cocktails and even traditionally prepared absinthe. Beverage director Andrew Cordero, regarded as one of the top cocktail developers in the city, infuses new flavors into beloved classics. His French 75, for example, gets a twist with calamansi, while the bourbon-cognac-based Old Fashioned is enhanced with cacao, hazelnut, and peach bitters. Those avoiding alcohol will be delighted to see the mocktails get all the sparkle and charm of the main event." - Kelly Bone
"One of the select handful of restaurants in San Diego to earn a Michelin star, this restaurant is a bona fide destination in Carlsbad.
