San Francisco Has Two New Michelin 3-Star Restaurants
Benu
The 2015 San Francisco guide is not officially out until 6pm EST Tuesday, but chef Thomas Keller, whose restaurant The French Laundry also has three stars, tweeted congratulations to the two apparent newcomers with the hashtag #3stars.
They are Benu, an Asian fusion restaurant, and Saison, which serves French cuisine. Three stars is the highest possible Michelin rating, and is awarded to just a handful of restaurants around the globe.
Previously, only two San Francisco restaurants - The French Laundry and The Restaurant at Meadowwood - had a three-star designation.
The French Laundry tweeted about both additions shortly before the list was officially revealed:
Benu, helmed by Chef Corey Lee, offers a $195-per-head tasting menu and is famous for serving a faux version of shark fin soup. Saison, has a menu that changes daily and costs $248 per person, excluding wine. Its kitchen is run by Chef Joshua Skenes.
The French Laundry also retained its three-star ranking, according to the restaurant's Twitter feed.
Michelin announced its 2015 New York ratings at the end of September. Six of the seven restaurants that earned three stars in 2014 retained those rankings. They are Le Bernardin, Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, Eleven Madison Park , Jean Georges, Masa, and Per Se.
Chef Daniel Boulud's Daniel was downgraded to two stars.
