I’ll try to progressively get to people as I have free time. Not sure if there'll be much interest, but if anyone has any questions, ask away!Įdit: Sorry all, this post was taken down for a bit and I couldn’t comment on it. In that time, I've also had the opportunity to stage or spend time in the FOH at restaurants like Manresa, Quince, Benu, Atelier Crenn, and SingleThread, as well as a few one-Michelin restaurants.

I was subsequently able to do an extended stage at Noma before permanently relocating to San Francisco, where I've been working for the last year and a half or so while also attending school full time and studying for my sommelier certification. I also spent a short time at Masa during my time in New York. After working my way up and also spending time at a few other jobs, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to move to NYC to work in the front of house at Eleven Madison Park, the number one restaurant in the world at the time. (I've got to pop out for a bit soon, but afterwards I'll be back for the rest of the afternoon/evening)Ī little background: I grew up in the midwest and started my restaurant career as a dishwasher/busboy at 18. Dishes highlighting fabulous (local) produce, and I was impressed by the imaginative flavour combinations that often suprised and teased the palate, the brutely sedutive bone marrow dish being unforgettable.Hello there! I'd love to answer any questions you may have about the fine dining industry. Tonight's menu was a succession of skillfully prepared dishes that all had a clear, personal signature. This results in idiosyncratic dishes, that have panache and a dash of playfulness. That said, the focal point at Atelier Crenn is very serious gastronomy, but with Crenn's contagiously energetic and enthusiastic mindset thrown in. At almost all restaurants in the San Francisco and the Bay Area, but at Atelier Crenn in particular, I experienced a real sense of open-mindedness, an open-mindedness that seems to be valued by Michelin too. San Francisco on the other hand, doesn't seem to be burdened by Europe's baggage of tradition. In Europe we are still quibbling about whether or not fine dining ('faine daining' to some) restaurants should have tablecloths and crystal glasses, not to mention all the other preconceptions about Michelin starred restaurants in general. One of the first things I noticed at Atelier Crenn was the laid-back and buzzing atmosphere. Next to arrive was a 'green olive' with a thin crunchy casing and a pistachio ice cream filling, served in a small puddle of Spanish olive oil. Spring has come and is full of sweet surprisesĭinner started with Spring has come with its cool breeze, a liquid cider bonbon with a thin cocoa butter casing and topped with a crème de cassis puree, quickly followed by a gorgeous dish of well-set Jerusalem artichoke pudding with egg yolk, covered with a thick layer of delightfully popping trout roe. Watching the beast rest beneath the leaves I revisited my childhood memories, a rebirth of the forest

The sea is in me, as strange and mysterious Here, the earth proffers its juicy and tangy, chlorophyll gifts

Strolling on the beach, in its whimsically ebullient innocence Where the broad ocean leans against the Spanish land I touch the earth and play, in its cool milky light *I was recognised and Dominique Crenn served us some additional courses. I had dinner with my husband at Atelier Crenn on Wednesday 1 April 2015.

Dominique Crenn describes her cuisine as 'Poetic Culinaria' and the the multi-course tasting menu is written as a poem. In that same year she was named 'The Best Chef in America' by Esquire Magazine and in 2009 Luce won a Michelin star.Ītelier Crenn is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday and the restaurant offers a seasonal Grand Tasting menu for $220. In 2008 Crenn moved back to San Francisco and took the helm at Luce restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel. After eight years she left the Manhattan Country Club and became chef at Abode in Santa Monica. Soon after her return to the States, Dominique Crenn took up the position of executive chef at the Manhattan Country Club in Manhattan Beach. The May 1998 riots in Indonesia cut her time in Jakarta short, and she returned to California. In 1997 Crenn moved to Indonesia, to become executive chef at the Hotel Borobudur Intercontinental in Jakarta. In San Francisco she trained for several years in the kitchens of the acclaimed Stars restaurant (now closed), working alongside chefs Mark Franz and Jeremiah Tower, among others. Dominique Crenn is originally from Brittany (in the extreme west of France), but she moved to San Francisco in 1988. The second star followed the next year (2013 guide), making her the first female chef in the U.S.

Atelier Crenn opened its doors in January 2011 and that same year in October, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star (2012 guide). Dominique Crenn is the chef/owner of Atelier Crenn in San Francisco.
