Benu is a restaurant located in the SoMa district of downtown San Francisco opened in 2010 by Corey Lee. In 2014, Benu was awarded three stars from the Michelin Guide.[1]

Restaurant

Lee was formerly head chef at The French Laundry and draws from many different cuisines, including Cantonese and Korean.[2] Benu currently offers a dinner tasting menu Tuesday through Saturday for $295 per diner (plus 20%).[3]

Benu is housed on the ground floor of a historic building that dates back to 1922–originally the headquarters of the San Francisco Newspaper Company.[4] Crown Point Press, an art studio, gallery, and bookstore, now owns the building and resides directly above the restaurant.[5]

In 2015, Phaidon published Benu–a collection of recipes and essays that explores the restaurant's food, influences, and collaborators–with forewords by Thomas Keller and David Chang,[6] designed by Julia Hasting.
