Crenn is the first female chef in the U.S. to score three Michelin stars in 2018; naturally, demand is high for reservations at Atelier Crenn. The new decor was developed by Ethan Tobman, whom Crenn met while working on the film “The Menu.”
Apparently it’s never far from her mind, no matter where in the world she is. For instance, she’s in Paris to work on another opening, though she expresses her enthusiasm to WWD via email: “To redesign Atelier Crenn right now is a dream come true,” she says. “Eleven years ago, the restaurant encompassed who I was at that time, but like all humans, I have evolved.
Tobman is no stranger to high-profile projects, having worked with names like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. But he finds his friend and her restaurant particularly inspiring, describing the collaboration as “written in the stars.” He maintained Atelier Crenn’s signature warmth and neutral palette, so the environment is still tonally consistent and identifiable. But where the previous design made diners feel like visitors to the chef’s home, the new dining room breaks down the walls, opting for more wood grain, natural lines and even a forest mural. It’s very Atelier Crenn and also very California.“I hope our guests are able to feel all of the energy I have put into this beautiful, refreshed space,” Crenn adds.
Of course, all of that is prelude to the artfully designed and impeccably constructed dining courses. At its essence, the menu highlights local plants, fish and seafood, including produce from the chef’s own Bleu Belle Farm. But a cracker or leek tart becomes something more in Crenn’s hands.
