Two Bay Area restaurants elevated to three star-status by Michelin Guide
This pair of Bay Area restaurants have been moved up in the Michelin Guide ranks with their three-star status. The restaurants are 'Californios' in San Francisco and 'Enclos' in Sonoma.
SAN FRANCISCO - The Michelin Guide strikes again in the Bay Area, awarding several restaurants with the highly acclaimed Michelin Guide stars.
Californios in San Francisco and Enclos in Sonoma have been elevated from two stars to the status of "exceptional cuisine" with their awarded three-star rating.
And Naides and Wolsfbane, both in San Francisco, and Troubadour in Healdsburg received, for the first time, one Michelin star for their "high quality cooking."
Californios
On top of being newly acclaimed, this is the first Mexican restaurant to reach this status from the Michelin Guide.
Based in San Francisco, Californios combine their Mexican heritage with Chef Val M. Cantú's imagination to create delicious meals. With their lively playlist and artwork to complement the festive space.
A meal highlighted by the Michelin Guide is their sourdough tortilla with a crisp mezcal-battered black cod, garnished with huitlacoche, or corn smut, and yellow corn cremas.
Find Californios at 355 11th Street in the SoMA district.
Enclos
Enclos is a winery-owned restaurant in downtown Sonoma that has a menu that blends global flavors and exceptional ingredients, like their produce sourced from affiliate Stone Edge Farm.
Chef Brian Limoge blends his New England roots with his menu, like the hearth-roasted quail paired with artichokes, preserved rose petals and burnt citrus, as said by the Michelin Guide.
Limoge told Michelin, "We minimize waste through preservation, fermentation and creativity."
Visit Enclos at 139 E. Napa Street.
