The 2026 Michelin Winners for San Francisco and the Bay Area
Published: June 25, 2026
Bibendum is back in the Bay, bestowing Michelin stars and Bib Gourmands across California.
It was a big night for the Bay Area, with not one, but two new three-star honorees here, with Sonoma’s Enclos and San Francisco’s Californios both getting Michelin’s top honor, joining the elite three-star club that includes fine dining stalwarts like The French Laundry. Also new on the list this year: Restaurant Naides and Troubadour both earned their very first stars.
Below are the 2026 Bay Area and Wine Country honorees that are available to book on Resy and Tock — from perennial one-star favorites like 7 Adams and Sorrel to a host of excellent Bib Gourmands, a designation meant to represent more casual and affordable dining (welcome back Good Good Culture Club and Ippuku!). You’re getting a fabulous meal at any of these award-winning spots. And for the full list of honorees across the state, head over to Michelin.

[Book on
Troubadour Bread & Bistro
★ | Healdsburg
A lot of big things come out of this diminutive Healdsburg space. Gorgeous canelé and breads at the bakery in the morning, delicious sandwiches in the afternoon, and a French-inspired experience at night. This is thanks to chef Sean McGaughey (of Single Thread) and Melissa Yanc, the duo also behind Quail & Condor bakery nearby. The nightly menu hits all the high notes of a French bistro, from duck à l’orange to steak tartare with cured egg, all made with ingredients plucked from local farms.
Bombera
Bib Gourmand | Oakland
Chef Dominica Rice-Cisneros has made this bright, buzzy hot spot in a former fire station in the city’s Dimond District (“bombera” is Spanish for female firefighter), into a consideration of how the past and present of California and Mexico intersect and weave together. Pro tip: Don’t miss the moles.
Ciccio Napa Valley
Bib Gourmand | Yountville
The Napa Valley favorite is better than ever, thanks to Christopher and Martina Kostow, who you may know from the Charter Oak. Here, you’ll find pizza, pasta, salads, and so much more, all with a little Kostow twist.
Glen Ellen Star
Bib Gourmand | Glen Ellen
A pure charmer, Glen Ellen Star is a local favorite in Sonoma, thanks to its wood-fired oven dishes, including pizzas, vegetables, and main dishes that pair with its North Coast-focused wine selection.
Good Good Culture Club
Bib Gourmand | The Mission
Every dish tells a story at Good Good Culture Club, the Mission spot from the Liholiho crew. Here, dishes inspired by heritage are served up in a stunning space, including one of the best rooftops in town.
Ippuku
Bib Gourmand | Berkeley
If you can’s swing a ticket to Tokyo, dinner at this izakaya is the next best thing. Don’t sleep on their charcoal-grilled yakitori, or their expansive selection of shochu, sake, and Japanese whisky.
[Book on
Izakaya Rintaro
Bib Gourmand | The Mission
There’s no restaurant in America quite like Rintaro, where chef-owner Sylvan Mishima Brackett blends Japanese sensibilities with the absolute top tier of local products, all in a one-of-a-kind Mission District setting.
Khom Loi
Bib Gourmand | Sebastopol
Chiang Mai-inspired Thai cooking meets the local harvest of Sonoma? We’re here for it, including specialties like bpet yang, charcoal-grilled Liberty duck breast. The wine list, focused on organic and other virtuously farmed selections, embraces local choices but looks well beyond.
Maligne
Bib Gourmand | Seaside
Wood-fired fare reigns supreme at this approachable fine dining spot from chef Klaus Georis that takes the best of contemporary European and classic American cuisine. True to its name, which is derived from the French word for “clever,” “sly,” or “troublesome,” the menu here remains irreverent and playful.
[Book on
MAMA Oakland
Bib Gourmand | Oakland
The red sauce joint from the Bay Grape duo of wife-and-husband Stevie Stacionis and Josiah Baldivino is a study of what makes a great neighborhood restaurant, with a little help from San Francisco’s celebrated Hi Neighbor Group (7 Adams, Trestle et al.).
Outerlands
Bib Gourmand | Outer Sunset
One of the most beautiful restaurants in town, Outerlands remains a cozy haven on the outer reaches of the city, with a destination brunch service and an equally impressive dinner lineup. And that bread!
Petiscos
Bib Gourmand | San Jose
As the name suggests, this is the place to go for Portuguese small plates, or petiscos, best shared with a crew. Rustic, homestyle cooking reigns supreme here, and you’ll see and taste it in dishes like broa, lupini beans, codfish croquettes, and tender octopus.
[Book on
Playa
Bib Gourmand | Mill Valley
Tastes of Mexico in Mill Valley — ceviche, grilled mahi mahi tacos, carne asada plates with housemade tortillas, and more. And of course, the cocktails to match … just right for a Marin vibe.
Ramen Gaijin
Bib Gourmand | Sebastapol
A ramen shop and izakaya from the team also behind Khom Loi, Ramen Gaijin has been transformative in Wine Country — its seasonal menu of traditional ramen styles influenced by local farmers and ranchers plays to the best of Northern California bounty.
Snail Bar
Bib Gourmand | Temescal District
Snail Bar quickly rose to the top of Oakland’s natural-wine scene after opening in 2021. The menu is tight and changing weekly (always get the signature snails if they’re there, otherwise, be open to where the day takes you), the wine selection is thoughtful, and the vibe is pure Temescal.
Valley Bar & Bottle
Bib Gourmand | Sonoma
California home cooking from chefs Emma Lipp and Stephanie Reagor is what you’ll find at this beloved neighborhood restaurant, wine bar, and bottle shop that places a priority on sustainability and seasonality.
