List: All the Michelin-starred restaurants in the Bay Area
Three Bay Area restaurants gained one-star status, and four lost their single star.
The Michelin stars were awarded Tuesday, July 18, to California restaurants.
In the Bay Area, the three- and two-star ranks remained unchanged from last year, with the exception of Manresa, which has closed.
Three Bay Area restaurants gained one-star status: Aphotic and Nari in San Francisco, and Auro, at the Four Seasons in Calistoga. Four lost their single star: Marlena, Omakase and Spruce in San Francisco, and Adega in San Jose. Two days before the announcement, Adega’s owners announced they would be closing the restaurant to focus on their small-plates concept, Petiscos.
