Manresa was a restaurant in Los Gatos, California that specialized in California cuisine. It was founded in 2002 by chef David Kinch.[1] The Michelin Guide: San Francisco, Bay Area and Wine Country conferred two Michelin stars on the restaurant in 2007, and upgraded it to three stars in 2016.[2][3][4]
A two-alarm fire at Manresa caused substantial damage to the restaurant on July 7, 2014.[5] After extensive work and a complete kitchen rebuild, it re-opened on New Year's Eve, 2014.[6]
The San Francisco Chronicle rated the restaurant four stars in 2012 and 2015.[2][7] In 2012, Forbes rated Manresa the best restaurant in the United States.[8] The restaurant was also a finalist in the 2014 James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant.[9]
In November 2022, Kinch announced Manresa's closure with its final day being December 31 of that year.[10][11]
The restaurant subsequently re-opened in 2024 as Ritual at Manresa: a venue where Kinch invites various Michelin-starred chefs to exhibit their cuisines for a month each.[12]
