Paradisaea is a French-modern California restaurant in La Jolla's Bird Rock neighborhood, opened in September 2022 by husband-and-wife owners Eric and Zoe Kleinbub inside the landmark "Piano Building" on La Jolla Boulevard, and Michelin Guide recommended since 2023. Its cocktail program is presented as an illustrated "field guide" to the bird species behind the restaurant's name and includes a dedicated non-alcoholic section. Zero-proof options include The Woods (non-alcoholic distilled agave spirit, marionberry, pomegranate, orange bitters), the Ghia-based Ostrich, and a Seedlip-and-Blue-Majik Takahe, with spirit-free builds also drawing on Ritual. The bar room features lounge seating, board games, and a small retail space selling bottled and canned drinks — a polished, design-forward spot where the NA list gets the same illustration and care as the cocktails.
