The culinary landscape of California just got a fresh sprinkle of Michelin recognition, with the San Francisco Bay Area's own 7 Adams earning a spot in the fabled guide. According to Eater SF, 7 Adams, a spot buzzing amongst foodies, is the latest to be crowned by Michelin, joining the ranks of other high-caliber dining destinations in the Golden State.

The Michelin Guide's recent update spotlights ten new gastronomic gems, but 7 Adams is the only San Francisco joint to cut, as the Michelin Guide itself reports. Helmed by husband-and-wife duo David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher, whose previous restaurant Marlena earned Michelin recognition despite being born in the throes of the pandemic, this latest establishment keeps price points within reach. It teases palates with a $87, five-course menu, that's as much a steal as a culinary journey.

Hollywood's dining scene, meanwhile, has been infused with seven new Michelin-approved locales. The City of Angels celebrates a spectrum of experiences, from the book-lined elegance at Amour to the laid-back charm of Liu's Cafe and its impeccable pork wontons. Gourmands with a penchant for Italian or Japanese can sample wares from chefs Evan Funke at Funke in Beverly Hills and Daniel Son at Sushi Sonagi in Gardena, who continue to impress with their culinary craftsmanship, the Michelin Guide elaborates.

Back in the Bay, 7 Adams is described by Michelin as an eatery where simplicity and technique coalesce to produce a truly Californian dining experience. Whether it's the kabocha squash caramelle pasta with chanterelles or the black cod graced by sunchoke confit and a delicate shellfish broth, this spot promises a grand finale with desserts like the acclaimed apple crumb cake, elevated by citrusy notes of orange bay leaf ice cream, and a refreshing satsuma granita.

The arrival at Michelin status for 7 Adams seemed almost telegraphically predicted by local critics. As Cesar Hernandez of the San Francisco Chronicle put it, "The Fishers are still gunning for Michelin stars," and with the ink now dry on Michelin's book, their pursuit has certainly paid off. Hernandez prophesied, "It's not a matter of if, but when," 7 Adams would snag the Michelin accolade – a nod to the culinary prowess it brings to San Francisco's often exorbitant dining scene.
