State Street in Carlsbad Village (Restaurants)

State Street in Carlsbad has become one of the biggest gastronomic anchors in San Diego, driven in large part by restaurateur John Resnick (owner) and Chef Eric Bost (Chef for all and partner in the soon-to-be opened Wildland and Lilo), who are the creative visionaries behind the following current and soon-to-open concepts:

Jeune et Jolie

Inspired by the unpretentious sophistication characteristic of French nouvelle cuisine, Michelin-starred Jeune et Jolie embraces an approach to cooking where vegetables are revered, lighter ingredients are manipulated to produce rich and bold flavors and keen attention is paid to presentation. With delicious, responsibly sourced products, the restaurant reimagines French food through the vibrant lens of our Southern California landscape. 

Campfire

Campfire officially ‘set up camp’ on State Street in late 2016, just two blocks south from its younger sister restaurant, Jeune et Jolie. Executive Chef Eric Bost and the team at Campfire draw inspiration from the coasts, forests, mountains and deserts that make up the vibrant and eclectic landscape of California and provide profoundly distinct flavors and emotions, all of which are best captured by getting outside and setting up camp.
