LoveFood highlights that while the state boasts several high-priced dining options, including the renowned Michelin-starred restaurant The French Laundry—where chef Thomas Keller’s meticulously crafted tasting menus are priced around $350—Atelier Crenn narrowly takes the lead in the culinary price stakes.
