Restaurant Visit: Atelier Crenn in San Francisco

March 16, 2011

Causing a sensation in San Francisco: French-born, Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn's newly opened restaurant, Atelier Crenn, located in Cow Hollow and serving what Crenn calls "poetic culinaria, an artist's interpretation of fine French cuisine that is seasonal, artisanal, and sustainable." The spare interiors by Nancy Nielsen feature bare teak tables; lighting from Portland, Oregon, artist Dylan Kehde Roelofs; and still lifes by Crenn's father, who had a studio in Brittany and inspired Dominique to pursue her culinary art. Go to Atelier Crenn for more information.
