Campfire

"This family-friendly restaurant boosted the Carlsbad dining scene when it first opened in 2016, where it was recognized with a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019. Led by executive chef Eric Bost (also of Jeune et Jolie), the playful menu offers fire-forward dishes categorized in sections labeled Trailhead, Kindling, the Fire, and Trail’s End. Must-try dishes include quail with tamarind, Oaxacan-spiced chicken, and a deconstructed, make-your-own s’mores dessert." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang

"Housed in what looks like a giant bunkhouse, this playful Michelin-recognized restaurant brings out the child in everyone. Though there are specific dishes for children, like chicken and slow-cooked brisket, chef Eric Bost (Jeune et Jolie) serves other kid-friendly fare like crispy broccoli with a tangy sauce that even young ones will love. End with s’mores made with housemade marshmallows for toasting on the table." - Helen I. Hwang

"Known for having one of the best cocktail lists in the county, Campfire has been known to take tropical inspiration from time to time, whether in-house at the restaurant’s bar or with various takeovers, including collaborations with Pacific Beach’s The Grass Skirt." - Jackie Bryant
