About our Restaurant
Dominique Crenn is the chef and owner of the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Atelier Crenn. Driven by her passion to create a deeply personal project, Crenn opened the restaurant as a place to express her heritage and as an ode to “poetic culinaria.” Atelier Crenn achieved its first Michelin Star within a year, in October of 2011. The following year, Crenn made history again when Atelier Crenn received its second Michelin Star, becoming the first female chef in the US to receive this honor. In November 2018, Crenn beat her own record and became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin Stars.

At the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Lazy Bear in San Francisco, the menu concept is famously presented as a playful, nostalgia-driven “Field Guide” notebook. Instead of a traditional printed list, diners are handed a field notebook along with a pencil to take tasting notes. Each seasonal dish is uniquely represented by an artistic line drawing created by artist Nicole Hanusek, giving the entire experience a whimsical, Wes Anderson-style aesthetic
