San Francisco-based Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn has opened a new restaurant called Monsieur Dior on the third floor of the Dior flagship store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The restaurant features a full tasting menu as well as a lounge serving two-piece bar bites inspired by Dior's fashion designs and archives.

Why it matters

Crenn's new Dior-themed restaurant represents an expansion of her culinary empire beyond San Francisco, bringing her acclaimed cooking style and techniques to a high-profile location in Los Angeles. It also demonstrates Dior's continued push into the U.S. dining scene following previous collaborations like Café Dior in Dallas.

The details

Monsieur Dior offers both a full tasting menu experience as well as a more casual lounge menu featuring two-piece bar bites. The tasting menu dishes draw inspiration from Dior's fashion archives, with items like black truffle agnolotti and abalone Granville. The lounge menu features savory options like uni tarts with black truffle and nori crab rolls topped with caviar, plus petite desserts like a yuzu-matcha éclair. The restaurant's bread service, featuring laminated, spiraled brioche, has also received praise.

  • Monsieur Dior opened in December 2025.
