Ananda Bareño Executive Chef at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club in La Jolla - CA, USA
La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, home to acclaimed The Marine Room and La Jolla Shores Hotel & Restaurant, has appointed Executive Chef Ananda Bareño to lead all culinary programming across the 21-acre beachfront resort. In addition to overseeing daily operations at the existing restaurants, she will guide the concept and development of a new restaurant, bar, and market launching as part of a $60 million resort-wide transformation currently underway.
Most recently she served as Executive Chef at Alila Marea Beach Resort in Encinitas, where she led all food and beverage operations across three dining outlets, banquets, catering, and in-room dining. Chef Ananda brings experience from top kitchens in Europe, South America, and the Middle East, inspiring the global flavors in every dish she creates.
She will work alongside the Club's Director of Food & Beverage Amanda Cohen to oversee the development of the property's newest dining concepts central to the resort's reimagination. Phase one taking shape at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club is expected to be completed by spring 2025. In addition to the new restaurant, bar, and market, the project includes refreshed outdoor spaces and an upgraded patio and pool deck experience.
