3 Paso Robles restaurants land on Michelin’s exclusive California list
Three Paso Robles restaurants earned coveted mentions in the Michelin Guide California this month.
They were among 37 mouth-watering additions Michelin made to its California recommendations.
“These establishments are highlighted as ‘new’ on guide.michelin.com to help food lovers enjoy new discoveries before the full selection is revealed Dec. 5 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles,” the Michelin Guide said.
Beloved among foodies, the Michelin Guide famously awards stars to high-quality restaurants around the globe.
Its California-centric guide highlights some of the most acclaimed eateries in the Golden State.
First up is The Hatch Rotisserie & Bar, which serves up “wood-fired comfort food” such as rotisserie chicken and shepherd’s pie, according to its website.
The restaurant opened at 835 13th St. in Paso Robles in 2015.
“It’s all hail to the bird at The Hatch,” Michelin Guide California said. “This downtown Paso Robles restaurant reveres the rotisserie and roasted chicken is indeed the must order.”
The Michelin Guide California also added in bloom, which opened at 1845 Spring St. in Paso Robles in early 2022.
According to its website, in bloom’s goal is to “to embrace and support the community and let California’s Central Coast shine in every dish, cocktail, & wine served” by “collaborating with local farms and purveyors.”
“Their cooking is confident, and their dishes really come alive,” the guide said.
The restaurant’s menu features such sumptuous choices as soy-glazed octopus and chicken angolotti.
Finally, the Michelin Guide picked Les Petites Canailles.
According to its website, the French restaurant’s farm-to-table “menu evolves with the seasons and what surrounds us.” Current offerings included beef cheek bourguignon and roasted monkfish.
“Meals begin with a warm gougère (savory choux pastry) before moving on to a selection of hearty appetizers,” the Michelin Guide said. “The menu features several entrées, though most eyes land on the perfectly cooked steaks.”
Les Petites Canailles opened at 1215 Spring St. in Paso Robles in 2019.
The guide also noted two other San Luis Obispo County favorites: Ember in Arroyo Grande and Nate’s on Marsh in SLO.
