Locally sourced and entirely organic ingredients form the backbone of his menu which, when combined with a number of technological innovations, create a an experience that is not to be missed.
- Quince – Handmade pasta and homely ambience set this Cal-Ital restaurant apart from the competition. Michael Tusk’s interesting take on modern Italian cuisine is a real hit with critics and locals alike and helps to raise the traditionally rustic Italian fayre to something a little more refined.
- Atelier Crenn – Packing as many glittering honours as gratifying h’orderves, Dominique Crenn’s Fillmore Street restaurant is the self-titled Poetic Culinaria of San Francisco. Artful in abundance, many of the dishes are so aesthetically pleasing that actually eating them feels as little like sacrilege.
