Our Menu
Dining at Atelier Crenn
Dining at Atelier Crenn is a singular experience of creativity, discovery, and connection. The menu reflects Chef Dominique Crenn’s unconventional path as a chef and storyteller, drawing from memory, emotion, and a sense of place while inviting each guest to find their own meaning within the experience.
Born and raised in France, Crenn spent many summers in Brittany, a landscape that continues to shape her cooking. After more than thirty years in California, this landscape has become an equally important part of her story. The menu evolves with the seasons, bringing together ingredients from the Pacific, Bleu Belle Farm in Sonoma, and the farmers, fishermen, ranchers, growers, and artisans with whom Crenn has built close relationships. Each ingredient is chosen with intention, and each course carries a connection to a memory, place, or person.
To complement the menu, Atelier Crenn offers thoughtful wine pairings that celebrate both iconic and under-explored producers, selected to enhance each course with depth, balance, and a sense of discovery. Cocktails are offered exclusively at our neighboring sister restaurant, Bar Crenn.

Our Dedicated Producers
Atelier Crenn has always prioritized ethical sourcing, partnering with dedicated producers who cultivate their ingredients with care and respect. After an extensive search for a trusted dairy producer, we are excited to work with 2 small dairies to supply our butter and cream.
Animal Farm Creamery produces exceptional butter from a cherished herd of only 10 cows. We receive weekly shipments of our table butter that is produced by one single cow - Timothy. We also work with San Martin Milk Company who supplies butter for our beloved brioche recipe.
We keep in frequent contact with our dairy producers and love to see pictures of our Jersey cows enjoying life at the farm. We look forward to long lasting and meaningful relationships with our purveyors and hope to find more producers who also embody our shared values of excellence, artistry, and humanity.
Certified Plastic Free
As a true commitment to protect our planet, we are certified as a Plastic Free establishment. This means that we have removed single use plastics from our restaurant and we are the first restaurant in the United States to do so.
We work closely with all of our vendors to educate them on their use of plastics and their impact on the planet. In addition, our staff are continually trained on our strict standards of recycling and our plastic-free future. It is our hope to inspire the movement to have plastics removed from our industry altogether.
As part of our continual commitment, we pledge to be ambassadors for this movement, to share the invaluable knowledge we have gained during the plastic free-certification process and to guide others along the same path. To learn more about how your establishment can become plastic free please email us directly or visit plasticfreecertification.org.
Our Wine List
We have a large cellar, but what makes a program special has less to do with a room full of bottles and more to do with the reason for collecting them. We collect so that for whatever reason you choose to dine with us, we might have the right bottle to celebrate your occasion. The list draws inspiration from Chef Dominique Crenn’s memories in Brittany and our home here in Northern California. We love wines that express the grape, the land, and a respect for those who work the land. We love the classics, of which we have plenty with a focus on Champagne, Burgundy and California, but we also want to highlight the producers creating the future of wine. It’s a broad list, but ultimately it’s just a room full of bottles that exist to celebrate people.
