Dominique Crenn

Dominique Crenn is the co-owner and chef of Atelier Crenn in San Francisco. In 2018, Crenn became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin Stars. She has long drawn inspiration from her childhood and personal journey to craft the narrative of her flagship restaurant and her menus continuously evolve along with her. Today, Atelier Crenn tells the story of California, the place Dominique now considers home. The state’s rich bounty, from plants to seafood, form a base for creation— sourcing most produce from Crenn’s own Bleu Belle Farm in Sonoma. 

Crenn also owns Bar Crenn, modeled after a Japanese listening bar that serves playfully luxurious food, curated cocktails and sustainable spirits. In the summer of 2023, Crenn plans to open her first Paris restaurant: Golden Poppy, and her return to France is highly anticipated. She continues to be recognized for her constant presence in the international culinary community, promoting innovation, sustainability and equality through her restaurant ideals and participation with various panels and summits.
