Michelin restaurant guide takes on San Fran

San Francisco – The renowned Michelin guide, which rates restaurants and hotels, announced on Wednesday that it is producing its first review of the US west coast.

Michelin Guide San Francisco and Bay Area 2007 will make its debut in October, representatives said in a ceremony at a downtown plaza.

The guide will cover the San Francisco and San Jose areas as well as the increasingly chic „Wine Country“ of the Sonoma and Napa valleys.

The only other North American city the guide covers is New York, according to Jean-Luc Naret, worldwide Michelin Guide director.

„I’m thrilled to be here today for this announcement,“ Naret said.

„San Francisco is at the forefront of food trends that are affecting the culinary world at large. We are excited to be here.“
