Quince is a contemporary California fine dining restaurant in San Francisco headed by Chef Michael Tusk. Quince was awarded one Michelin star when the San Francisco guide was first launched in 2007 and later earned a second star in 2014 and its third star in 2017.
After graduating from the Culinary of America, Chef Michael Tusk went on to train in France and Italy. Upon returning to the United States, Tusk moved to Northern California and eventually worked at Chez Panisse with Chef Alice Waters, who led the way for California cuisine and the farm-to-table movement.
At Quince, Tusk serves contemporary California cuisine with some Italian influences, drawing inspirations from his training in that country. He also maintains the farm-to-table philosophy he learned at Chez Panisse and commits to sourcing seasonal produce locally, which also earned the restaurant a Green Star for sustainability. For guests who aren’t quite ready to spend $390 on the full tasting menu, Quince also offers an abbreviated four-course menu in the Salon for $270, as well as an a la carte menu at the Salon and Bar.
