Jeune & Jolie

Jeune & Jolie, which means “Young & Beautiful” in French, offers a fresh take on the modern French bistro. Owner John Resnick and Executive Chef Eric Bost have created a Carlsbad destination that values both the planet and great food. Since earning its Michelin star in 2021, the restaurant has combined a lively, stylish setting with a commitment to sustainability, making sure every dish reflects a thoughtful, closed-loop approach to sourcing and waste.

At Jeune & Jolie, sustainability is an active, ongoing practice. The team is deepening its commitment to sourcing from local, sustainable, and organic farms, visiting partners on-site to learn about the people and processes behind their ingredients. The kitchen works to use every part of each ingredient, turning what might otherwise be discarded into creative components that appear throughout the menu.

The menu is built on meaningful relationships with California’s most respected producers.

Jeune & Jolie sets the standard for conscious aesthetics in Southern California. The name “Young & Beautiful” reflects a vision for fine dining that is as forward-thinking as it is refined. By honoring the past through French technique while protecting what lies ahead through regenerative sourcing, the team has built a place where guests can enjoy world-class food and know they are supporting a healthier local food system.
