creations using precise techniques, which now make Quince a unique experience for the customer: an experience that is worth the trip.” In all, the MICHELIN Guide San Francisco now has 6 restaurants with three stars – the others being Benu, The French Laundry, Manresa, Saison, and The Restaurant at Meadowood.

cuisine with California accents; Mosu, the restaurant where the chef Sung ANH serves contemporary Asian
