In one of the nation’s most diverse counties and with so many cultures proudly calling the Peninsula their home – we are a melting pot of exciting food culture. From over 17 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants to locally loved and family-owned dining establishments, we take great pride in celebrating fantastic food and multi-cultural experiences.”
The San Francisco Peninsula is renowned for its exceptional culinary offerings, featuring over 50 working farms and thriving bay harbors that provide fresh seafood year-round. The region’s vibrant farm-to-table and fusion cuisine is set against a picturesque backdrop of ocean, redwoods, and historical landmarks, making it a haven for food enthusiasts.
The MICHELIN Guide, an independent publication, evaluates culinary destinations globally, utilizing anonymous inspectors who assess restaurants based on five criteria: quality of products, harmony of flavors, mastery of cooking techniques, the chef’s personality reflected in the cuisine, and consistency across visits and the entire menu.
“Our famously anonymous inspectors are eager to celebrate and share the selection of restaurants for 2024, and we look forward to toasting with the chefs and restaurant teams to celebrate their extraordinary accomplishments,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “California continues to showcase an impressive gastronomy scene with international influences and outstanding cuisine.”
