First of all, Michelin inspected the comprehensive level of a restaurant, and dishes, environment, and service were all included in it.
Secondly, to ensure fairness and justice, all Michelin staff members will hide their identity when they go to the restaurant to eat, which is the secret of the Michelin Guide to maintain credibility and reputation for many years.
Third, Michelin ’s official interpretation of one star to Samsung is as follows
one star: A very good restaurant in its category

(The following restaurant list is sorted alphabetically, in no particular order.)
Benu
Michelin chefs in the United States and Europe are mainly white, soSuper young Korean chefCorey Lee's list of Samsung chefs immediately caught the attention of the food industry.

2.The French Laundry
Speaking of Michelin, you can't help but mention this French cuisineSeems to have become synonymous with Michelin in California. This old Michelin-starred Samsung store has the reputation of being domineering that "the best French cuisine in the world is not in France, but in the French Laundry in Napa Valley."
Chef Thomas Keller not only retains the particular taste and taste of French cuisine, but also adds fresh California ingredients, and it is a new French cuisine without compromise. However, the chef has already retired from the kitchen in 2012. In addition to the staff turnover in recent years, French Laundry's reputation has gradually deteriorated, and more and more people feel that the cuisine here is average. Unfortunately, is this generation of legendary restaurants really going to die?

3.Manresa
Manresa is also a fabulous restaurant in the Bay Area. Many friends think that it is comparable to or better than The French Laundry. But Manresa is a rather low-key restaurant, with a deep courtyard, located in a house like a residential house. Jiuxiang is not afraid of the alleys, but has won the honor of Michelin Samsung.
The chef is based on the "Farm to Table" concept and works with local farms to use the freshest fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.A fusion of French, Spanish and a bit Asian, Become a unique flavor. However, the good times did not last long. At the beginning of this year, the restaurant actually caught fire. The author is looking forward to his Phoenix Nirvana. Finally, he will be reborn on January 2015, 1. Make an appointment to go!

4. Season
Everything about Saison is like a poem. From the website design to the decoration to the dishes, I feel that even the empty space in this empty restaurant seems so right, which is exactly the aesthetics of Saison.
Saison's dishes focus on the ingredients themselves, just like the photos on its website, close-up on the same ingredients, but at the same time use other colors to set off its vividness, so that you can not only clearly eat a single taste, but also understand a single secret.
Have to taste it in the shopJindian Caviar and Abalone Cuisine, It is unforgettable to eat.
Another thing to note is that you need to provide a credit card number when making a reservation. If you can't go, be sure to cancel one week in advance, because in the two weeks before the meal, Saison's chefs are already looking for ingredients for your dinner!

5. The Restaurant
Meadowood itself is a high-end boutique hotel. When it comes to enjoying beautiful wines, it must inevitably need the best restaurant as the finishing touch. The Restaurant is such a domineering restaurant.
The quirky young chef, Christopher Kostow, uses local precious wines and fresh ingredients from Peking Shengsheng, coupled with his unique insights and creativity, to create a novel California cuisine to conquer the tire baby.
In addition, the Farm to Table concept has always guided this restaurant, soEvery dish can be seen with freshly picked vegetables and fruits or dewy flowers, Exceptionally fresh and moving. I personally feel that the Meadowwood Hotel and Restaurant is really a great place for couples to celebrate their anniversary.

★★
In 2016, a total of 7 Bay Area restaurants received two Michelin stars, of which Commis and Campton Place were newly added.
1. Acquerello
There is no shortage of delicious Italian food in San Francisco, but it is not easy to make this approachable Italian food delicate and stunning. In the eyes of the tire baby, Acquerello did it.
Acquerello has been standing in San Francisco for more than 25 years. It was converted from a small church, so the environment in the restaurant is very warm and comfortable. The meal is even more eye-catching! Don't take the bold and large portion route, each dish is small and fresh enough to make you doubt whether it is Italian.
In particular, it is the best time to eat truffles every winter, and Italy is home to white truffles, so Acquerello will launch truffle packages in winter. Fresh truffles are sliced on delicate dishes, so that you can taste the deliciousness of truffles with a big mouthful, isn't it fun?

2. Crenn Workshop
Michelin stars can be found all over the world, but there are only a few restaurants on the list with female chefs, and Atelier Crenn is one of them. Beauty chef Dominique Crenn regards Atelier Crenn as her home and carefully arranges everything in the restaurant.
Quietly tell everyone that the prototype of the heroine in the 2007 Disney cartoon "Ratatouille" is Dominique. Each of her dishes is small and exquisite, as exquisite as works of art, which makes people unbearable.
Eating the entire Tasting Menu is like going through a fairy tale. The most special isThe menu of this restaurant is a poem!! Friends who need a romantic atmosphere can consider it.

3. Baumé
In high-end cuisine, the cooking time, the mix of seasonings, and even how much salt is put in the chef's skill, but Baumé's dishes are based on precise molecular cuisine, and all ingredients are accurately measured.
Molecular cuisine, derived from Spanish chef El Bulli, refers to cooking as a chemical experiment, re-combining edible chemicals with precise measurements to create an infinite variety of foods from a molecular perspective. Strictly speaking, Baumé is not an extreme full-molecular cuisine, but it uses this concept to make endless and novel dishes. Making food not like food to play with human vision, eating a bite without losing the taste of food, Baumé is so wayward!

7. Quince
If you think that the baby tire selection restaurant only focuses on dishes, then you are wrong. The dining environment is also an important part. After all, it is the joy of life to enjoy poetic cuisine in a beautiful environment.
The environment of the Quince restaurant is so spicy. It is located in a century-old red brick house built in 1907. The interior has been redesigned by the famous architect Olle Lundberg. It is elegant and stylish, and very comfortable. Of course, in addition to the environment, the meals are also unique.
