Hey there, food lovers of San Antonio! It seems like just yesterday that the Michelin Guide announced its exciting news about finally making its way to Texas. Now, we find ourselves just a few short weeks away from discovering which restaurants will earn the coveted accolades. Mark your calendars for November 11, because that’s when the official announcement will take place!
With anticipation building, local chefs and their teams are busy hoping that their culinary creations will make the cut. As a fun way to gauge opinions, we took a little poll among MySA readers and in the San Antonio Restaurants Facebook group. We wanted to know which local spots you think deserve some Michelin love. After counting all the recommendations, we’ve put together an exciting shortlist of potential contenders. Let’s dive into the culinary delights that have caught the attention of our community!
First up on our list is the renowned Bohanan’s Prime Steaks and Seafood, a go-to spot for celebrations since 2002. Tucked away in the bustling downtown area, this upscale restaurant is like a luxurious oasis amidst the city’s activity. Diners can expect nothing less than top-notch service and high-quality steaks that will make your taste buds dance. With prime cuts of beef available every day of the week, this gem at 219 E. Houston St., Suite 275 has become a beloved favorite for special occasions.
Next, we have a unique find that’s literally underground! Chika, located within The Creamery’s Easy Baby, offers an intimate 13-course omakase experience. Here, chefs John Ramos and Jonathan Reyes create sushi magic right before your eyes. With limited seating, this spot allows diners to witness the meticulous preparation of mouthwatering nigiri and sashimi offerings, making for an unforgettable evening. You can find it at 875 E. Ashby Place.
Another delightful place that caught your votes is Landrace, situated in the gorgeous Thompson San Antonio hotel by the River Walk. Led by the talented Chef Steve McHugh, this serene restaurant pays tribute to Texas’s rich culinary history with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Every meal feels special thanks to the attentive service that makes you feel like a superstar. Discover this treasure at 111 Lexington Ave.
Coming in with plenty of love from our polling is Signature, located at the La Cantera Resort & Spa. Under the skillful hands of Executive Chef John Carpenter and Executive Sous Chef Jaime Torres, this contemporary Texas restaurant presents a menu that changes with the seasons. The focus on fresh ingredients makes each visit a delightful adventure. You can swing by at 16401 La Cantera Pkwy.
It’s no surprise that Supper, located at the illustrious Hotel Emma, has also come into the spotlight. With a farm-to-table approach, Supper serves up delightful American cuisine that stands out among the high-end offerings in the Pearl area. Visiting 136 E. Grayson St. means indulging in locally-sourced dishes that are sure to tantalize your palate.
Lastly, let’s give a shoutout to The Magpie, a charming New American bistro that’s shaping up to be a star on San Antonio’s Eastside culinary scene. Chef Sue Kim brings a freestyle approach to her cooking while honoring traditional Korean flavors. You can’t miss dishes like dak-galbi and the ever-popular pork belly ssam. And trust us when we say, you absolutely need to try their signature milk bread at 1602 E. Houston St., Suite 106.
These local favorites have captured the hearts and palates of San Antonio residents. As the Michelin Guide ceremony approaches, we can’t help but feel a wave of excitement for our talented chefs and the delicious meals they create. Who will take home the coveted stars and accolades?
