Michelin-starred French cuisine with imaginative dishes and tasting menus
"A Michelin-recognized fine-dining destination in a seaside town north of the route’s origin, this restaurant is noted for elevated cuisine and a refined tasting experience that has earned culinary acclaim." - Cu Fleshman
"An established Michelin-starred restaurant associated with the same team behind the new tasting concept and referenced as a benchmark for the chef’s other work and collaborators." - Matthew Kang
"Flaunting a nouvelle-French sensibility, this very appealing French restaurant from Partner John Resnick and Executive Chef Eric Bost is dressed in shades of rose and flooded with natural light. The food turned out by the wide-open kitchen is top-notch, with a playful twist. This cooking also displays a mature direction, with solid ingredients, unique combinations and beautiful presentations that are "almost" too pretty to eat. Sea bass with crispy skin, resting on a bed of sautéed spinach with a saffron and vanilla sauce is whimsical and delicious. Pale green sweet pea ice cream on a bed of macerated blackberries, bits of eggy, lightly crisp, “clafoutis” pastry, tangy elderflower gelee, and dots of vanilla cream makes a nice finish." - Michelin Inspector
"Jeune et Jolie is a modern French restaurant in Carlsbad. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"A Carlsbad restaurant that currently holds a Michelin star and retained its star at the 2024 Michelin Guide California ceremony." - Rebecca Roland
