How many Michelin-starred restaurants does San Francisco have?

The 2026 MICHELIN Guide lists 25 starred restaurants in San Francisco: 3 three-star, 7 two-star, and 15 one-star. Another 12 hold a Bib Gourmand for outstanding value, and the wider guide adds dozens more Selected restaurants.

Which San Francisco restaurants have three Michelin stars?

Three: Atelier Crenn on Fillmore Street, Benu in SoMa, and Quince in Jackson Square. Only New York has more three-star restaurants in the United States — and Atelier Crenn and Quince both carry a Green Star on top.

What is a Bib Gourmand?

A Bib Gourmand recognizes restaurants the Guide's inspectors rate for quality cooking at a moderate price. In San Francisco that covers everything from dim sum at Yank Sing to Outerlands out by Ocean Beach.

How far ahead do I need to book?

The three-star tasting menus — Atelier Crenn, Benu, Quince — typically open reservations one to two months ahead and fill the day they drop. Most one-star rooms are reachable two to four weeks out, and several Bib Gourmand spots take walk-ins.
