Three Michelin Stars | Michelin Green Star | Plastic Free Certified| San Francisco, CA

Atelier Crenn, Chef Dominique Crenn’s flagship, is more than a restaurant. It is an immersive journey into the heart of sustainable French cuisine. Here, the curious diner discovers how fine dining can champion the planet while celebrating creativity. The menu, renowned for its absence of meat, draws inspiration from the riches of the sea and the promise of the earth.

The Sustainability Print:

100% Plastic-Free:

The restaurant has successfully removed all single-use plastics from its entire supply chain and operations.

Bleu Belle Farm Partnership:

Most of the restaurant’s produce is grown on their private biodynamic farm in Sonoma, ensuring a hyper-local, ethical source for every dish.

Zero-Waste:

Every kitchen scrap is returned to Bleu Belle Farm to be transformed into nutrient-rich compost, feeding the soil that grows the next season’s harvest.

Ethical Menu Shifts:

In a bold move for the industry, the restaurant removed all land-based meat from its menu in 2018 to reduce its carbon footprint and protest factory farming.

Supplier Education:

The team works directly with all vendors to eliminate plastic packaging at the source, serving as ambassadors for a plastic-free future.

Carbon footprint:

While prioritizing local purveyors like the San Martin Milk Company (80.7 miles away), the restaurant occasionally sources from farther afield for unparalleled quality—such as butter from Animal Farm Creamery in Vermont (3,000+ miles away).
