Quince is a restaurant in the Jackson Square neighborhood in San Francisco, California. Opened in 2003 by chef Michael Tusk and his wife, Lindsay, in Pacific Heights, the restaurant moved to their current location in Jackson Square, which is next door to sister restaurant, Cotogna.[1] The Tusks partner with Fresh Run Farms of Bolinas, CA in sourcing exclusive produce for a $275 per diner tasting menu in the California tradition.[2] The restaurant also features a global selection of caviar.[3]
In 2017, Quince became only the sixth restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area to be awarded three Michelin stars by the Michelin Guide.[4]
