Atelier Crenn, Three Michelin star restaurant in Cow Hollow, San Francisco, US
Located on Fillmore Street in Cow Hollow, this three Michelin star restaurant features sophisticated French cuisine prepared with ingredients sourced from a partner farm in Sonoma County. The kitchen creates multi-course tasting menus that showcase seasonal and carefully selected ingredients.
The restaurant opened in 2011 and earned its first Michelin star in 2012, followed by a second star in 2013, and reached three stars in 2019. This progression of recognition made it an important milestone in San Francisco's fine dining history.
Each dish is presented as part of a poem, with multiple lines arranged on the plate that reflect Chef Crenn's memories of growing up on a French farm. This poetic approach creates a personal connection between diners and the stories behind each course.
Reservations are required and can be made for dinner service Tuesday through Saturday, so plan ahead as availability fills quickly. The tasting menu format means you should set aside several hours for your meal.
