Delicious Getaway
It seems like I rarely leave Seattle these days. While I really love spending everyday in my favorite city, there’s definitely a thrill to getting out of town for a couple days. Our fun trip to San Francisco to see friends included a mind-blowing dining experience at Atelier Crenn.

Would you like a tour of this amazing experience?
First things first, pick a truffle!
The menu is presented as poetry in flowers.
Each line of the poem has food representation!
I’ve never posted a meal dish-by-dish before, but in the case of Atelier Crenn, I believe we should have a little poetry reading.
So Savory

Dessert Like Mayan Poetry
The savory dishes were beyond anything I could have imagined, so I eagerly anticipated dessert, which you know is my favorite! There were SEVEN desserts!
Yes, you read that right: seven desserts. I do believe that is a very fair ratio!

Every single dish at Atelier Crenn was beautiful beyond description and I will never forget such a special experience. If you happen to be in San Francisco and want to treat yourself to something incredible, make a reservation at Atelier Crenn.
