Atelier Crenn

$$$$ | Cow Hollow Fodor's Choice

Dinner at the spectacularly inventive flagship of San Francisco’s most celebrated chef of the moment, Dominique Crenn, is an exploration of both Crenn's journey as a chef and California's distinct geography and history. Each course is usually eye-opening (and downright delicious) and many dishes feature produce from Crenn's own Bleu Belle Farm. The presentations, textures, and tastes will stay with diners for years after the final chocolate bite from pastry wizard Juan Contreras.

Bouche

$$$ | Union Sq.
They don't hand out awards for the the smallest restaurant in San Francisco, but this charmer right on top of the Stockton Tunnel outside Union Square would definitely be a contender. It's a perfect example of a French bistro given a California spin—the best of both worlds seamlessly cooked together in a value prix-fixe menu. There's plenty of joie de vivre in the compact bi-level space.
