What is the story about?

Chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality workers from across California gathered at Eve in San Diego on the evening of June 24 for the unveiling of the 2026 Michelin Guide California. At the ceremony, restaurants across the state were recognized with Michelin star

designations in one of the hospitality industry’s biggest nights.

At the 2026 ceremony, Anna Sonenshein and Niki Vahle of Little Fish Melrose Hill (and fried fish sandwich fame) took home the Michelin Young Chef Award. The new one-star restaurants in Los Angeles and on the Central Coast are Dave Beran’s Santa Monica tasting menu restaurant, Seline; Edomae-style omakase restaurant, Miura; Sawtelle strip mall omakase restaurant Kojima; Brian Baik’s Melrose Hill seafood tasting menu counter, Corridor 109; Swedish chef Marcus Jernmark’s California restaurant, Lielle. Jon Yao’s Taiwanese-inflected restaurant, Kato, was Los Angeles’s only new two-starred restaurant.

A handful of restaurants lost their single star this year, including 715, Camphor, and Morihiro.
