A Homecoming for Dominique Crenn
Renowned for her culinary artistry, Dominique Crenn, a visionary French chef, is making her long-awaited return to Paris. Driven by her passion to create a deeply personal project, Crenn opened Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, a place to express her heritage as well as an ode to “poetic culinaria,” in January 2011. Atelier Crenn achieved its first Michelin Star within a year, in October of 2011. In the following year, Crenn made history again when Atelier Crenn received its second Michelin Star, becoming the first female chef in the US to receive this honor. In November 2018, Crenn beat her own record and became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin Stars. In 2021, Crenn was the recipient of the World's 50 Best Icon Award.
At La Fantaisie, Crenn's zero-waste signature restaurant, Golden Poppy, will redefine the dining experience, focusing on local and sustainable products. Inspired by an antique garden greenhouse, the restaurant's glass roof seamlessly connects patrons to the natural world outside, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of Crenn's renowned establishment in San Francisco.
