This is a guide to some of the Michelin starred restaurants in San Francisco. They serve Japanese food, seafood, and more. There are also lots of theatrical and theatrical tasting menus and show and tell type experiences. There is no shortage of three star restaurants. One of them is Atelier Crenn located at 3127 Fillmore St. There is a poem at each place setting and a course is assigned to each line of the poem and then the show begins. The head chef is Dominique Crenn who is the first lady to have three Michelin stars, and she was trained in Europe and Asia which are the continents that have the most variety in cooking styles. Another example is Benu at 22 Hawthorn St. Benu is an Asian fusion and because of this it is very appealing to people who love the food of China and the East. His menu changes every night, and the main ingredients are caviar from white sturgeon and sea urchins. The dining room is nice. The earthy colors and materials are reflected in the food. The last place is Quince which is at 470 Pacific Ave. Quince is famous for its California cuisine. The restaurant is located in a historic landmark where chef Michael Tusk applies a fine-dining philosophy to locally sourced and seasonally prepared dishes.
Quince
With Tusk, the strength lies in the thoughtful utilization of peak season ingredients. Each night, two menus are available, paired with wines chosen to fit the meal, an elegant and traditional San Francisco fine-dining experience.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
The museum holds an impressive oeuvre of twentieth-century Western art, with works from the French Fauvism movement, Henri Matisse, as well as American Pop Art, Andy Warhol, and Mexican Frida Kahlo. Although the museum is smaller than the New York Museum of Modern Art, its collection is impressive, and when special exhibitions are available, it is particularly good.
In Situ
The restaurant is not merely a place to eat; it is an extension of the artistic experience, as many of the dishes take inspiration from the pieces in the museum's collection.
