San Francisco | French Cuisine | ⭐️⭐️⭐️

👍 Atelier Crenn As one of only three three-Michelin-starred restaurants in San Francisco, Atelier Crenn specializes in pescatarian cuisine — seafood lovers, this is your spot! 🐟🌿 The three-star standard shines through in every aspect: stunning presentation, harmonious flavors, and premium ingredients — all wrapped in thoughtful storytelling 🎭. For instance, the chef’s personal journey is reflected in the dining experience, and yes, all the butter served here comes from a single cow named Tim 🐮✨. (A beloved summer menu recap) 🍤 Starters ❤️ Spot Prawn – perfectly prepared at medium-rare, so tender it redefines what seafood can be. 🍽️ Mains Black cod Abalone Halibut The only minor letdown? The abalone was paired with a rather strong-flavored pickled cabbage that slightly overshadowed its natural taste. 🔁 Comparison with Quince (also 3⭐) Both are refined and delicious, but Atelier Crenn focuses on seafood and often presents ingredients in their natural state — like serving peas whole 🌱, whereas Quince might transform them into a smooth purée. Different philosophies, equally impressive. I’d definitely return to try their seasonal menus — this is a three-star experience that lives up to the hype. 💵 Price: Summer menu was $395 (excl. tax & drinks). Autumn menu has increased by $10. 📅 Reservations: Available on Tock, usually bookable one week in advance. 📍 Address: 3127 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA 94123 #SanFranciscoEats #SFFineDining #HiddenGems #MichelinStarred #AtelierCrenn #PescatarianMenu #FrenchCuisine #BayAreaFoodie
