Bruno Chemel’s macrobiotic experiment, Baumé, is named after the French chemist Antoine Baume – appropriate for a French cuisine moderne approach. The 12-course custom tasting menu incorporates unique ingredients like dehydrated “sand” made of apples, 62-degree eggs, and parchment sheets made of acorn. The restaurant earned its second Michelin star this year. Click here for more of the 10 Best Experimental Restaurants in America.

Absolutely amazing 12 course tour. Particularly the applewood smoke (trapped under the dish) and caviar.

10 course at least! Don't short change yourself.

10 courses is amazing. Make sure to order the egg with morilles + the filet mignon with truffles. By far the best restaurant in palo alto
