"These establishments are highlighted as 'New' on guide.michelin.com to help food lovers enjoy new discoveries before the annual announcement of Bib Gourmands and Stars."
"Of the 12 finds on this list - which could be the first of many early discoveries for 2026 - four are in San Francisco, one is in Menlo Park, one is in Santa Barbara County and six are in the Los Angeles area."
"Will the praise for these restaurants be elevated to Michelin stars when the guide is released later this year? Or become Bib Gourmand honors, the Michelin awards given to restaurants that offer 'excellent food at reasonable prices' to diners?"
The Michelin Guide has officially recognized 12 restaurants in the Bay Area and Southern California as 'new discoveries.' This announcement precedes the release of the California stars later this year. Notable mentions include Yeobo in Menlo Park, led by the acclaimed culinary team of Michael and Meicheh Kim. The list features four restaurants in San Francisco, one in Menlo Park, one in Santa Barbara County, and six in Los Angeles. The future of these establishments regarding Michelin stars or Bib Gourmand honors remains uncertain.
