Benu

“See on map #17 in 2025 San Francisco GenreFine dining Price$$$$ When a restaurant’s calling card is as memorable as the one at Benu — a too-pretty to eat marinated mussel, whose insides are threaded with glass noodles and colorful bands of vegetables — there’s no need to change it. It’s a prelude to a meal marked by the obsessive, tweezered exactitude one would expect from an establishment that was San Francisco’s first restaurant to attain three Michelin stars, which it has held for more than a decade. Address 22 Hawthorne St., San Francisco Have you been? 16.”

“Corey Lee’s acclaimed original restaurant is an “oasis in the heart of the city,” so the inspectors say, serving gorgeously plated courses in tasting menus. Besides Michelin acclaim, the restaurant also landed on the inaugural North America 50 Best Restaurants list at No. 13 in 2025.
