The standard for fine dining excellence has looked at our city's restaurants and it has found us winning. San Fran has not one but three three-star eateries, all of which take a contemporary look at traditionally fantastic flavors.
We're on the cutting edge of California cuisine. In fact, 10 of the restaurants to earn Michelin stars of the total 34 boast Californian as their style. Being a multi-cultural hub, our top chefs also offer fresh takes on French, Indian, Thai, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Moroccan and Japanese influences.
