Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Encinitas land four new Michelin-recognized spots in 2025

San Diego's Michelin Momentum Reignited After a quiet 2024, San Diego County's culinary scene is heating back up — four North County restaurants have just earned spots on the prestigious California Michelin Guide, marking the region's first new entries of 2025. Here's a quick breakdown of the latest local stars to watch: Lilo (Carlsbad Village): A 22-seat fine-dining experience led by Michelin vets John Resnick and Eric Bost (Jeune et Jolie, Campfire). It offers a 12-course $265 tasting menu spotlighting local seafood and coastal California flavors with global influences. 24 Suns (Oceanside): Helmed by Addison alums Nicholas Webber and Jacob Jordan, this creative Chinese concept cycles its menu around the 24 solar terms of the Chinese calendar, incorporating flavors from up to 8 provinces in one sitting. Atelier Manna (Encinitas): A locals' favorite with no reservations, this brunch-lunch cafe from chef Andrew Bachelier blends French, Spanish, and American cuisine in a laid-back, patio setting. A new project with Tony Hawk is on the way too. Tanner's Prime Burgers (Oceanside): >From the fine-dining world to burger stardom, chef Brandon Rodgers brings ultra-juicy smashburgers, tallow fries, and milkshakes to Vista Way, making his high-end beef background both delicious and approachable.
